John 3:14-18

Goodspeed(i) 14 And just as Moses in the desert lifted the serpent up in the air, the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." 16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that no one who believes in him should be lost, but that they should all have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to pass judgment upon the world, but that through him the world might be saved. 18 No one who believes in him has to come up for judgment. Anyone who does not believe stands condemned already, for not believing in God's only Son.
