In context

13 And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended,—The Son of Man.

14 And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up,—

15 That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding.

16 For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave,—that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding.

17 For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.

18 He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged,—because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

19 And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world,—and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.
