John 3

1NowG1161 there wasG1510 a manG444 of the PhariseesG5330, namedG3686 NicodemusG3530, a rulerG758 of the JewsG2453: 2the sameG846 cameG2064 unto him by nightG3571, and saidG3004 to him, RabbiG4461, we know that thou art a teacherG1320 comeG2064 from GodG2316; for no oneG3762 can do these signsG4592 that thou doest, except GodG2316 beG1510 with him. 3JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto thee, Except oneG5100 be bornG1080 anew, he cannot seeG3708 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 4NicodemusG3530 saith unto him, HowG4459 can a manG444 beG1510 bornG1080 when he isG1510 old? can he enterG1525 a secondG1208 timeG1208 into his mother’sG3384 wombG2836, and beG1510 bornG1080? 5JesusG2424 answeredG611, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto thee, Except oneG5100 be bornG1080 of waterG5204 and the SpiritG4151, he cannot enterG1525 into the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 6That which isG1510 bornG1080 of the fleshG4561 isG1510 fleshG4561; and that which isG1510 bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151 isG1510 spiritG4151. 7MarvelG2296 not that I saidG3004 unto thee, Ye must be bornG1080 anew. 8The wind bloweth whereG3699 it will, and thou hearest the voiceG5456 thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so isG1510 every oneG3588 that isG1510 bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151. 9NicodemusG3530 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, HowG4459 can these thingsG3778 be? 10JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Art thou the teacherG1320 of IsraelG2474, and understandest not these thingsG3778? 11Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto thee, We speakG2980 that which we know, and bearG3140 witnessG3140 of that which we have seenG3708; and ye receiveG2983 not our witnessG3140. 12If I toldG3004 you earthlyG1919 things and ye believeG4100 not, howG4459 shall ye believeG4100 if I tellG3004 you heavenlyG2032 things? 13And no oneG3762 hath ascendedG305 into heavenG3772, but he that descendedG2597 out of heavenG3772, evenG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444, who isG1510 in heavenG3772. 14And as MosesG3475 liftedG5312 up the serpentG3789 in the wildernessG2048, evenG2532 so must the SonG5207 of manG444 be liftedG5312 up; 15that whosoever believeth may in him have eternalG166 lifeG2222.

16For GodG2316 soG2443 lovedG25 the worldG2889, that he gaveG1325 his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207, that whosoever believeth on him should not perishG622, but have eternalG166 lifeG2222. 17For GodG2316 sentG649 not the SonG5207 into the worldG2889 to judgeG2919 the worldG2889; but that the worldG2889 should be savedG4982 through him. 18He that believeth on him is not judgedG2919: he that believeth not hath been judgedG2919 alreadyG2235, because he hath not believedG4100 on the nameG3686 of the onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207 of GodG2316. 19And this isG1510 the judgmentG2920, that the lightG5457 isG1510 comeG2064 into the worldG2889, and menG444 lovedG25 the darknessG4655 ratherG3123 than the lightG5457; for their worksG2041 wereG1510 evilG4190. 20For every oneG3588 that doeth evilG5337 hateth the lightG5457, and cometh not to the lightG5457, lestG3361 his worksG2041 should be reproved. 21But he that doeth the truthG225 cometh to the lightG5457, that his worksG2041 may beG1510 madeG4160 manifestG5319, that they have beenG1510 wrought in GodG2316.

22After these thingsG3778 cameG2064 JesusG2424 and his disciplesG3101 into the landG1093 of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptizedG907. 23And JohnG2491 alsoG2532 wasG1510 baptizingG907 in Ænon near to Salim, because there wasG1510 muchG4183 waterG5204 there: and they cameG3854, and wereG1510 baptizedG907. 24For JohnG2491 wasG1510 not yetG3768 castG906 into prisonG5438. 25There aroseG1096 thereforeG3767 a questioning on the part of John’s disciplesG3101 with a JewG2453 about purifying. 26And they cameG2064 unto JohnG2491, and saidG3004 to him, RabbiG4461, he that wasG1510 with thee beyond the JordanG2446, to whom thou hast borne witnessG3140, beholdG2396, the sameG846 baptizeth, and all men comeG2064 to him. 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, A manG444 can receiveG2983 nothing, except it have beenG1510 givenG1325 him from heavenG3772. 28Ye yourselves bearG3140 me witnessG3140, that I saidG3004, I amG1510 not the ChristG5547, but, that I amG1510 sentG649 before him. 29He that hath the brideG3565 isG1510 the bridegroomG3566: but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456: this my joyG5479 thereforeG3767 isG1510 made fullG4137. 30He must increaseG837, but I must decrease.

31He that cometh from above isG1510 above all: he that isG1510 of the earthG1093 isG1510 of the earthG1093, and of the earthG1093 he speaketh: he that cometh from heavenG3772 isG1510 above all. 32What he hath seenG3708 and heardG191, of that he beareth witnessG3140; and no man receiveth his witnessG3140. 33He that hath receivedG2983 his witnessG3141 hath set his sealG4972 to this, that GodG2316 isG1510 trueG227. 34For he whom GodG2316 hath sentG649 speaketh the words of GodG2316: for he giveth not the SpiritG4151 by measureG3358. 35The FatherG3962 loveth the SonG5207, and hath givenG1325 all thingsG3956 into his handG5495. 36He that believeth on the SonG5207 hath eternalG166 lifeG2222; but he that obeyeth not the SonG5207 shall not seeG3708 lifeG2222, but the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abideth on him.
