< John 3 >

1 Now there was a man of the pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews:
Ther was a man of the pharises named Nicodemus a ruler amonge ye Iewes.
2 who came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for none can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.
The same cam to Iesus by nyght and sayde vnto him: Rabbi we knowe that thou arte a teacher whiche arte come from God. For no man coulde do suche miracles as thou doest except God were with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily verily I tell thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe he cannot se the kyngdom 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 sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe and be boren agayne?
5 Jesus answered, I tell thee of a truth, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Iesus answered: verely verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of ye sprete he cannot enter into the kyngdome 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 boren of the flesshe is flesshe: and that which is boren of the sprete is sprete.
7 Do not wonder that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Marvayle not that I sayd to the ye must be boren a newe.
8 As the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not whence it cometh, or whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
The wynde bloweth where he listeth and thou hearest his sounde: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whether he goeth. So is every man that is boren of the sprete.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can these things be?
And Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto him: how can these thinges be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things?
Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel and knowest not these thinges?
11 I assure thee, that we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; though ye receive not our testimony.
Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes.
12 If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly ones?
Yf when I tell you erthely thinges ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges?
13 For no one hath ascended up into heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.
And no man ascendeth vp to heaven but he that came doune from heaven that is to saye the sonne of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp
15 that whosoever believeth on Him may not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
that none that beleveth in him perisshe: but have eternall lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life: (aiōnios g166)
For God so loveth the worlde yt he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe. (aiōnios g166)
17 for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved by Him.
For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condepne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
He that beleveth on him shall not be condepned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill.
20 For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds should be reproved.
For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.
21 But he that acts according to truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
But he that doth truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowen how that they are wrought in God.
22 After these things came Jesus, and his disciples into the land of Judea: and He stayed with them there, and baptized.
After these thinges cam Iesus and his disciples into the Iewes londe and ther he haunted with them and baptised.
23 And John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him and were baptized.
And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim because ther was moche water there and they came and were baptised.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
For Iohn was not yet cast into preson.
25 Now there arose a dispute between some of the disciples of John, and the Jews, about purifying.
And ther arose a questio bitwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes about purifiynge.
26 And they came to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people come to Him.
And they came vnto Iohn and sayde vnto him: Rabbi he that was with the beyonde Iordan to whom thou barest witnes. Beholde the same baptyseth and all me come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can take nothing upon him, unless it be given him from heaven.
Iohn answered and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be geve him fro heaven.
28 Ye your selves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but am sent before Him.
Ye youre selves are witnesses how that I sayde: I am not Christ but am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.
He that hath the bryde is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome which stondeth by and heareth him reioyseth greately of the brydgromes voyce. Tis my ioye is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
He must increace: and I muste decreace.
31 He, that cometh from above, is above all: he that is of the earth, is earthly, and talketh like one of the earth:
He that commeth from an hye is above all: He that is of ye erth is of the erth and speaketh of the erth. He that cometh from heaven is above all
32 but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.
and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifieth: but no man receaveth his testimonye.
33 He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true:
How be it he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true.
34 for He, whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth the Spirit to Him not by measure.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the wordes of God. For God geveth not the sprete by measure.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all into his hand:
The father loveth the sonne and hath geven all thinges into his honde.
36 wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
He that beleveth on the sonne hath everlastynge lyfe: and he that beleveth not the sonne shall not se lyfe but the wrathe of God abydeth on him. (aiōnios g166)
