¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”^(A)

John Testifies About Jesus

²⁹ The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,^(A) who takes away the sin of the world!^(B)

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,^(A) so the Son of Man must be lifted up,^{[a](B) 15} that everyone who believes^(C) may have eternal life in him.”^[b](D)

¹⁶ For God so loved^(E) the world that he gave^(F) his one and only Son,^(G) that whoever believes^(H) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.^{(I) 17} For God did not send his Son into the world^(J) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.^(K)

⁴² They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”^(A)

¹⁸ Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,^(A) so also one righteous act resulted in justification^(B) and life^(C) for all people.

¹⁵ If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love.^(A) Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.^(B)

¹¹ So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed^(A) by your knowledge.

³ This is good, and pleases^(A) God our Savior,^{(B) 4} who wants^(C) all people^(D) to be saved^(E) and to come to a knowledge of the truth.^{(F) 5} For there is one God^(G) and one mediator^(H) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,^{(I) 6} who gave himself as a ransom^(J) for all people. This has now been witnessed to^(K) at the proper time.^(L)
