John 3:17-36

17For GodG2316 1did not sendG649 the SonG5207 into the worldG2889 2to judgeG2919 the worldG2889, but that the worldG2889 might be savedG4982 throughG1223 Him. 183He who believesG4100 in Him is not judgedG2919; he who does not believeG4100 has been judgedG2919 alreadyG2235, becauseG3754 he has not believedG4100 in the nameG3686 of 4the 5onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207 of GodG2316. 19ThisG3778 is the judgmentG2920, that 6the LightG5457 has comeG2064 into the worldG2889, and menG444 lovedG25 the darknessG4655 ratherG3123 thanG2228 the LightG5457, for 7their deedsG2041 were evilG4190. 208For everyoneG3956 who doesG4238 evilG5337 hatesG3404 the LightG5457, and does not comeG2064 to the LightG5457 for fearG2443G3361 that his deedsG2041 will be exposedG1651. 21But he who 9practicesG4160 the truthG225 comesG2064 to the LightG5457, soG2443 that his deedsG2041 may be manifestedG5319 as having beenG1510 wroughtG2038 in GodG2316.”

22AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 JesusG2424 and His 10disciplesG3101 cameG2064 into the landG1093 of JudeaG2453, and thereG1563 He was spendingG1304 timeG1304 with them and 11baptizingG907. 23JohnG2491 alsoG2532 was baptizingG907 in AenonG137 nearG1451 SalimG4530, becauseG3754 there was muchG4183 waterG5204 thereG1563; and people were comingG3854 and were being baptizedG907-- 24for 12JohnG2491 had not yetG3768 beenG1510 thrownG906 into prisonG5438.

25ThereforeG3767 thereG1096 aroseG1096 a discussionG2214 on the part of John’sG2491 disciplesG3101 with a JewG2453 aboutG4012 13purificationG2512. 26And they cameG2064 to JohnG2491 and saidG3004 to him, “14RabbiG4461, He whoG3739 was with you 15beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, to whomG3739 you 16have testifiedG3140, beholdG2396, He is baptizingG907 and allG3956 are comingG2064 to Him.” 27JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “17A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothingG3756G3762 unlessG1437G3361 it 18has beenG1510 givenG1325 him from heavenG3772. 28You yourselvesG846 19are my witnessesG3140 that I saidG3004, ‘20I amG1510 not the 21ChristG5547,’ but, ‘I have beenG1510 sentG649 aheadG1715 of Him.’ 29He who hasG2192 the brideG3565 is 22the bridegroomG3566; but the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, who standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom’sG3566 voiceG5456. SoG3767 thisG3778 23joyG5479 of mineG1699 has been madeG4137 fullG4137. 30He mustG1163 increaseG837, but I must decreaseG1642.

31“24He who comesG2064 from aboveG509 is aboveG1883 allG3956, 25he who is of the earthG1093 is from the earthG1093 and speaksG2980 of the earthG1093. 26He who comesG2064 from heavenG3772 is aboveG1883 allG3956. 32WhatG3739 He has seenG3708 and heardG191, of that He 27testifiesG3140; and 28noG3762 oneG3762 receivesG2983 His testimonyG3140. 33He who has receivedG2983 His testimonyG3141 29has setG4972 his sealG4972 to this, that GodG2316 is trueG227. 34For He whomG3739 GodG2316 has 30sentG649 speaksG2980 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316; 3132for He givesG1325 the SpiritG4151 withoutG3756G1537 measureG3358. 3533The FatherG3962 lovesG25 the SonG5207 and 34has givenG1325 allG3956 thingsG3956 into His handG5495. 36He who 35believesG4100 in the SonG5207 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222; but he who 36does not 37obeyG544 the SonG5207 will not seeG3708 lifeG2222, but the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidesG3306 on him.”
