John 3
1 There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, —ruler of the Jews.
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him—Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.
The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered, and said unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him—How, can a man be born, when he is, old? Can he, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born?
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been 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 Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.
Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
8 The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.
The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said unto him—How, can these things, come about?
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.
Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness.
12 If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, —The Son of Man.
And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, 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 whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
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. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
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.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
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.
He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in 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.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;
For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.
But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.
22 After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; —
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, —concerning purification.
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him—Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.
27 John answered, and said—A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said—I, am not the Christ; but—I am sent before, That One.
You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.
He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 That One, it behoveth to increase, —but, me, to decrease.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,
He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.
32 What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness, —and, his witness, no one, receiveth: —
And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony.
33 He that hath received his witness, hath set seal—that, God, is, true.
He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
34 For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.
35 The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son, hath life age-abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life, —but, the anger of God, awaiteth him. (aiōnios g166)
He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God stays on him. (aiōnios g166)
