13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

13 (A)No one has ascended into heaven, except (B)He who descended from heaven: (C)the Son of Man. 14 And just as (D)Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must (E)the Son of Man (F)be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who [a]believes will (G)have eternal life in Him.

16 “For God so (H)loved the world, that He (I)gave His (J)only Son, so that everyone who (K)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God (L)did not send the Son into the world (M)to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 (N)The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of (O)the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that (P)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for (Q)their deeds were evil. 20 (R)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. 21 But the one who (S)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed [b]as having been performed in God.”
