John 3: 10-21

10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and you don’t know these things? 11 Amen, amen, I am saying to you that we are speaking what we have known and we are testifying what we have seen, and you are not receiving our testimony. 12 If I said to you the earthly things and you aren’t believing, how will you believe if I should say to you the heavenly things? 13 And no one has ascended into heaven except the One having descended out of heaven: the Son of Man, Who is in heaven. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up, 15 so that everyone believing in Him shouldn’t perish, but should be having eternal life. 16 For God was thus devoted to the world: that He gave His unique Son, so that everyone believing in Him shouldn’t perish, but should be having eternal life. 17 For God didn’t send His Son into the world so that He might be judging the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 The one believing in Him isn’t being judged, but the one not believing has been judged already, because he hasn’t believed in the name of the unique Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and men were more devoted to the darkness than to the light, for their works were evil. 20 For everyone practicing wickedness hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, so that his works might not be rebuked. 21 But the one doing the truth comes to the light so that his works may be manifested, that they are worked in God.
