John 3

1But there wasG1510 a manG444 from among the PhariseesG5330, his nameG3686 NicodemusG3530, a rulerG758 of the JewsG2453; 2he cameG2064 to him by nightG3571, and saidG3004 to him, RabbiG4461, we know that thou art comeG2064 a teacherG1320 from 1GodG2316, for noneG3762 can do these signsG4592 that thou doest unless 2GodG2316 beG1510 with him. 3JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto thee, Except any oneG5100 be bornG1080 anew he cannot seeG3708 the kingdomG932 of 3GodG2316. 4NicodemusG3530 saysG3004 to him, HowG4459 can a manG444 beG1510 bornG1080 beingG1510 old? can he enterG1525 a secondG1208 timeG1208 into the wombG2836 of his motherG3384 and beG1510 bornG1080? 5JesusG2424 answeredG611, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto thee, Except any oneG5100 be bornG1080 of waterG5204 and of SpiritG4151, he cannot enterG1525 into the kingdomG932 of 4GodG2316. 6That which isG1510 bornG1080 of the fleshG4561 isG1510 fleshG4561; and that which isG1510 bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151 isG1510 spiritG4151. 7Do not wonderG2296 that I saidG3004 to thee, It is needful that ye should be bornG1080 anew. 8The wind blowsG4154 whereG3699 it will, and thou hearest its voiceG5456, but knowest not whence it comesG2064 and whereG3699 it goesG5217: thusG3779 isG1510 every oneG3588 that isG1510 bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151. 9NicodemusG3530 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, HowG4459 can these thingsG3778 be? 10JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, Thou art the teacherG1320 of IsraelG2474 and knowest not these thingsG3778! 11Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto thee, We speakG2980 that which we know, and we bearG3140 witnessG3140 of that which we have seenG3708, and ye receiveG2983 not our witnessG3140. 12If I have saidG3004 the earthlyG1919 things to you, and ye believeG4100 not, howG4459, if I sayG3004 the heavenlyG2032 things to you, will ye believeG4100? 13And no oneG3762 has goneG305 up into heavenG3772, save he who cameG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, the SonG5207 of manG444 who isG1510 in heavenG3772. 14And as MosesG3475 liftedG5312 up the serpentG3789 in the wildernessG2048, thusG3779 must the SonG5207 of manG444 be liftedG5312 up, 15that every oneG3588 who believesG4100 on him may [not perish, but] have lifeG2222 eternalG166. 16For 5GodG2316 soG2443 lovedG25 the worldG2889, that he gaveG1325 his only-begotten SonG5207, that whosoever believesG4100 on him may not perishG622, but have lifeG2222 eternalG166. 17For 6GodG2316 has not sentG649 his SonG5207 into the worldG2889 that he may judgeG2919 the worldG2889, but that the worldG2889 may be savedG4982 through him. 18He that believesG4100 on him is not judgedG2919: but he that believesG4100 not has been alreadyG2235 judgedG2919, because he has not believedG4100 on the nameG3686 of the only-begotten SonG5207 of 7GodG2316. 19And this isG1510 the judgmentG2920, that lightG5457 isG1510 comeG2064 into the worldG2889, and menG444 have lovedG25 darknessG4655 ratherG3123 than lightG5457; for their worksG2041 wereG1510 evilG4190. 20For every oneG3588 that does evilG5337 hatesG3404 the lightG5457, and does not comeG2064 to the lightG5457 that his worksG2041 may not be shewn as they are; 21but he that practises the truthG225 comesG2064 to the lightG5457, that his worksG2041 may beG1510 manifestedG5319 that they have beenG1510 wrought in 8GodG2316. 22After these thingsG3778 cameG2064 JesusG2424 and his disciplesG3101 into the landG1093 of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised. 23And JohnG2491 alsoG2532 wasG1510 baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because there wasG1510 a greatG4183 deal of waterG5204 there; and they cameG3854 to [him] and wereG1510 baptised: 24for JohnG2491 wasG1510 not yetG3768 castG906 into prisonG5438. 25There was thereforeG3767 a reasoning of the disciplesG3101 of JohnG2491 with a JewG2453 about purificationG2512. 26And they cameG2064 to JohnG2491 and saidG3004 to him, RabbiG4461, he who wasG1510 with thee beyond the JordanG2446, to whom thou barest witnessG3140, beholdG2396, he baptises, and all comeG2064 to him. 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, A manG444 can receiveG2983 nothing unless it beG1510 givenG1325 him out of heavenG3772. 28Ye yourselves bearG3140 me witnessG3140 that I saidG3004, I amG1510 not the ChristG5547, but, that I amG1510 sentG649 before him. 29He that has the brideG3565 isG1510 the bridegroomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, who standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 in heart because of the voiceG5456 of the bridegroomG3566: this my joyG5479 then isG1510 fulfilled. 30He must increaseG837, but I must decrease. 31He who comesG2064 from above isG1510 above all. He who has his origin in the earthG1093 isG1510 of the earthG1093, and speaksG2980 [as] of the earthG1093. He who comesG2064 out of heavenG3772 isG1510 above all, 32[and] what he has seenG3708 and has heardG191, this he testifiesG3140; and no oneG3762 receivesG2983 his testimonyG3141. 33He that has receivedG2983 his testimonyG3141 has set to his sealG4972 that 9GodG2316 isG1510 trueG227; 34for he whom 10GodG2316 has sentG649 speaksG2980 the words of 11GodG2316, for 12GodG2316 givesG1325 not the SpiritG4151 by measureG3358. 35The FatherG3962 lovesG25 the SonG5207, and has givenG1325 all thingsG3956 [to be] in his handG5495. 36He that believesG4100 on the SonG5207 has lifeG2222 eternalG166, and he that is not subject to the SonG5207 shall not seeG3708 lifeG2222, but the wrathG3709 of 13GodG2316 abidesG3306 upon him.
