John 3:14-21
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.”

Ephesians 2:1-10
English Standard Version
By Grace Through Faith
2 (A)And you were (B)dead in the trespasses and sins 2 (C)in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following (D)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in (E)the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in (F)the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body[a] and the mind, and (G)were by nature (H)children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.[b] 4 But[c] God, being (I)rich in mercy, (J)because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even (K)when we were dead in our trespasses, (L)made us alive together with Christ—(M)by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and (N)seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable (O)riches of his grace in (P)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For (Q)by grace you have been saved (R)through faith. And this is (S)not your own doing; (T)it is the gift of God, 9 (U)not a result of works, (V)so that no one may boast. 10 For (W)we are his workmanship, (X)created in Christ Jesus (Y)for good works, (Z)which God prepared beforehand, (AA)that we should walk in them.
