In context

Before · John 3:14–15

14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

After · John 3:17–18

17For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
