INTERNATIONAL BIBLE LESSON

And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life (John 3:14-15).

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 (John 3:16).

But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God (John 3:21).
