11 Truly, truly, I say to you, (A)we speak of what we know and (B)testify of what we have seen, and (C)you people do not accept our testimony. 12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 (D)No one has ascended into heaven, except (E)He who descended from heaven: (F)the Son of Man. 14 And just as (G)Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must (H)the Son of Man (I)be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who [a]believes will (J)have eternal life in Him.

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