John 3:13-17

New International Version

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

¹⁶For 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) ¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world^(M) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^(N)

Jesus Prays for All Believers

²⁰“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹that all of them may be one,^(A) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.^(B) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.^(C) ²²I have given them the glory that you gave me,^(D) that they may be one as we are one^(E)— ²³I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me^(F) and have loved them^(G) even as you have loved me.

²⁴“Father, I want those you have given me^(H) to be with me where I am,^(I) and to see my glory,^(J) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.^(K)

²⁵“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,^(L) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.^(M) ²⁶I have made you^[a] known to them,^(N) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them^(O) and that I myself may be in them.”
