Johane 3:14-17

Njengokuba uMose waphakamisa inyoka ehlane, kanjalo iNdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuphakanyiswa; ukuze yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngokuba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka, waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuba yilowo nalowo okholwa yiyo angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. Ngoba uNkulunkulu kayithumanga iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuthi ilahle umhlaba; kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngaye.
