12 If I have told you about earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended(A) into heaven(B) except the one who descended from heaven(C) —the Son of Man.[a](D)

14 “Just as Moses(E) lifted up the snake in the wilderness,(F) so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may[b] have eternal life.(G) 16 For God loved(H) the world in this way:[c] He gave[d] his one and only(I) Son,(J) so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.(K) 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn(L) the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned,(M) because he has not believed in the name(N) of the one and only Son(O) of God.
