And Jesus said,
“No one has gone up to heaven
except The One
who came down from heaven:
the Son of Man.
And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the desert,
so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in Him
may have everlasting life.”
For God so loved the world,
He gave His only Son
so that everyone
who believes in Him
might not perish
but have eternal life.
For God did not
send His Son into the world
to condemn the world,
but that, through Him,
the world might be saved."
