John 3
1 NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.
the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus replied, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
8 The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not from whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth: just so is every one who is born of the Spirit.
The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
11 Verily, verity, I tell thee, That what we know we speak, and what we have seen we affirm; and ye receive not our testimony.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you of earthly things, and ye believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13 Though no man hath ascended into heaven, except he that descended from heaven, that Son of man the I am in heaven.
And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, who is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up:
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;
that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.
For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
20 For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
21 But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.
But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; and there he abode with them, and baptised.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised.
And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For as yet John was not cast into prison.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then a dispute arose between the disciples of John and the Jews with regard to purification.
There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him.
And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him.
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
29 It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is made full.
30 He must grow great, but I diminutive.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he whose origin is from earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: he who cometh from heaven is above all.
He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony.
What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
33 He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true.
He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him. (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
