John 3:13-18

13 1No one has ascended into heaven, but 2He who descended from heaven: 3the Son of Man. 14As 4Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must 5the Son of Man 6be lifted up; 15so that whoever 7believes will 8in Him have eternal life.

16“For God so 9loved the world, that He 10gave His 11 12only begotten Son, that whoever 13believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17For God 14did not send the Son into the world 15to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 16He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of 17the 18only begotten Son of God.
