3:12. If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not: how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?
3:13. And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
3:14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
3:15. That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
3:16. For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
3:17. For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him.
3:18. He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Is not judged. . .He that believeth, viz., by a faith working through charity, is not judged, that is, is not condemned; but the obstinate unbeliever is judged, that is, condemned already, by retrenching himself from the society of Christ and his church.
3:19. And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.
The judgment. . .That is, the cause of his comdemnation.
