John 3:11-16

11Truly, truly, I say to you, 1we speak of what we know and 2testify of what we have seen, and 3you people do not accept our testimony. 12If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 4No one has ascended into heaven, except 5He who descended from heaven: 6the Son of Man. 14And just as 7Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must 8the Son of Man 9be lifted up, 15so that everyone who 10believes will 11have eternal life in Him.

16“For God so 12loved the world, that He 13gave His 14only Son, so that everyone who 15believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
