13 No one has ever gone into heaven(A) except the one who came from heaven(B)—the Son of Man.[a](C) 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,(D) so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[b](E) 15 that everyone who believes(F) may have eternal life in him.”[c](G)

16 For God so loved(H) the world that he gave(I) his one and only Son,(J) that whoever believes(K) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(L) 17 For God did not send his Son into the world(M) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.(N)
