John 3:10-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you ^(A)the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(B)we speak of what we know and ^(C)testify of what we have seen, and ^(D)you do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ^13 (E)No one has ascended into heaven, but ^(F)He who descended from heaven: ^(G)the Son of Man. ¹⁴ As ^(H)Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must ^(I)the Son of Man ^(J)be lifted up; ¹⁵ so that whoever ^[a]believes will ^(K)in Him have eternal life.

¹⁶ “For God so ^(L)loved the world, that He ^(M)gave His ^[b](N)only begotten Son, that whoever ^(O)believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God ^(P)did not send the Son into the world ^(Q)to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. ^18 (R)He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of ^(S)the ^[c]only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ This is the judgment, that ^(T)the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for ^(U)their deeds were evil. ^20 (V)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But he who ^(W)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
