Bible: John 3:16-21; 5:21-29

3:16 For this is the way 1  God loved the world: He gave his one and only 2  Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish 3  but have eternal life. 4  3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, 5  but that the world should be saved through him. 3:18 The one who believes in him is not condemned. 6  The one who does not believe has been condemned 7  already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only 8  Son of God. 3:19 Now this is the basis for judging: 9  that the light has come into the world and people 10  loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. 3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. 3:21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God. 11 

5:21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 5:22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 1  for 300 years, 2  and he had other 3  sons and daughters. 5:23 The entire lifetime of Enoch was 365 years. 5:24 Enoch walked with God, and then he disappeared 4  because God took 5  him away.

5:25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 5:26 Methuselah lived 782 years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other 6  sons and daughters. 5:27 The entire lifetime of Methuselah was 969 years, and then he died.

5:28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 5:29 He named him Noah, 7  saying, “This one will bring us comfort 8  from our labor and from the painful toil of our hands because of the ground that the Lord has cursed.”
