¹⁶ “For God so ^(A)loved the world, that He ^(B)gave His ^(C)only Son, so that everyone who ^(D)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁴ And just as ^(A)Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must ^(B)the Son of Man ^(C)be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone who ^[a]believes will ^(D)have eternal life in Him.

¹⁶ “For God so ^(E)loved the world, that He ^(F)gave His ^(G)only Son, so that everyone who ^(H)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God ^(I)did not send the Son into the world ^(J)to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. ^18 (K)The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of ^(L)the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that ^(M)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for ^(N)their deeds were evil. ^20 (O)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. ²¹ But the one who ^(P)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed ^[b]as having been performed in God.”

Jesus, the Example

12 Therefore, since we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let’s ^(A)rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s ^(B)run with ^(C)endurance the race that is set before us,

² looking only at Jesus, the ^[a](A)originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him ^(B)endured the cross, ^(C)despising the shame, and has ^(D)sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
