John 3:14-22

English Standard Version

¹⁴ And ^(A)as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man ^(B)be lifted up, ¹⁵ that whoever believes ^(C)in him ^(D)may have eternal life.^[a]

For God So Loved the World

¹⁶ “For ^(E)God so loved ^(F)the world,^{[b] (G)}that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not ^(H)perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For ^(I)God did not send his Son into the world ^(J)to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ^18 (K)Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not ^(L)believed in the name of the only Son of God. ^19 (M)And this is the judgment: ^(N)the light has come into the world, and ^(O)people loved the darkness rather than the light because ^(P)their works were evil. ^20 (Q)For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, ^(R)lest his works should be exposed. ²¹ But whoever ^(S)does what is true ^(T)comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

John the Baptist Exalts Christ

²² After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and ^(U)was baptizing.
