14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be
lifted 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, that
whoever 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 to
save the world through him.
C: 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not
believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the
name of God’s one and only Son.
L: 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness
instead of light because their deeds were evil.
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for
fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen
plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”
