| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
|
13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven--the Son of Man.
|
|
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up :
|
14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
|
|
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have eternal life.
|
15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
|
|
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life.
|
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
|
|
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved .
|
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
|
|
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned : but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
|
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
|
|
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
|
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
|
|
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved .
|
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
|
|
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest , that they are wrought in God.
|
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
|
|
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized .
|
22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.
|
|
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came , and were baptized .
|
23 Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were constantly coming to be baptized.
