¹⁶ For God loved^(A) the world in this way:^[a] He gave^[b] his one and only^(B) Son,^(C) so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.^(D)

²⁵ and because he did not need anyone to testify about man; for he himself knew what was in man.^(A)

¹¹ He replied, “The man who made me well^(A) told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”

¹² “Who is this man who told you, ‘Pick up your mat and walk’?” they asked. ¹³ But the man who was healed did not know who it was,^(B) because Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.^[a]

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.^(A)

¹⁵ And anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
