< 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 Yahushua by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from Elohim: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except Elohim 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.
Yahushua answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of YHWH.
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 saith unto 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.
Yahushua answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of YHWH.
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 unto thee, Ye 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 bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell 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, come about?
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
Yahushua answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest 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.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye 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 ye believe not, how shall ye 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 hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which was 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:
15 That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
That whosoever believeth 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 YHWH so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth 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 YHWH 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 believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of YHWH.
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 doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh 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 doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in Elohim.
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 Yahushua 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 unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, 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.
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, 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 hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth 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 cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh 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 hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his witness, hath set seal—that, God, is, true.
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that Elohim 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 YHWH hath sent speaketh the words of YHWH: for YHWH giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given 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 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 believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of YHWH abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
