14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must belifted up, 15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, thatwhoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but tosave the world through him.C: 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does notbelieve stands condemned already because he has not believed in thename of God’s one and only Son.L: 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darknessinstead of light because their deeds were evil.20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light forfear that his deeds will be exposed.21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seenplainly that what he has done has been done through God.”
