John 3:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ “Just as Moses lifted up the ·snake [^Tserpent] in the ·desert [wilderness; ^CMoses put a bronze snake statue on a pole, and those who looked at it were healed of snake bites; Num. 21:4–9], the Son of Man must also be lifted up [^Can allusion to the cross and resurrection]. ¹⁵ So that everyone who ·believes can have eternal life in him [or believes in him can have eternal life].

¹⁶ “[^LFor] God loved the world so much that he gave his ·one and only [only; unique; ^Tonly begotten; 1:14, 18] Son so that whoever believes in him may not ·be lost [^Tperish], but have eternal life.
