“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him' — the PURPOSE clause of the lifting up: belief in the lifted-up Jesus grants eternal life (zōē aiōnios), life that transcends temporal limitation and participates in God's eternal existence. The phrase "in him" (en autō) emphasizes union with Jesus as the source and medium of eternal existence.
