John 3:3-16

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.
