John 3:3-16

3JesusG2424 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to him, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 someoneG5100 1is bornG1080 2againG509 he cannotG1410G3756 seeG3708 3the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”

4NicodemusG3530 saidG3004 to Him, “HowG4459 canG1410 a personG444 be bornG1080 when he is oldG1088? He cannotG1410G3361 enterG1525 his mother’sG3384 wombG2836 a secondG1208 timeG1208 and be bornG1080, can he?” 5JesusG2424 answeredG611, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 someoneG5100 is bornG1080 of 4waterG5204 and the SpiritG4151, he cannotG1410G3756 enterG1525 5the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 66That which has been bornG1080 of the fleshG4561 is fleshG4561, and that which has been bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151 is spiritG4151. 7Do not beG2296 amazedG2296 that I saidG3004 to you, ‘You mustG1163 be bornG1080 7againG509.’ 88The windG4151 blowsG4154 whereG3699 it wishesG2309, and you hearG191 the soundG5456 of it, but you do not knowG3609 whereG4159 it is comingG2064 from and whereG4226 it is goingG5217; soG3779 is everyoneG3956 who has been bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151.”

9NicodemusG3530 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “HowG4459 canG1410 theseG3778 thingsG3778 be?” 10JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “You are 9the teacherG1320 of IsraelG2474, and yet you do not understandG1097 theseG3778 thingsG3778? 11TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 10we speakG2980 of whatG3739 we knowG3609 and 11testifyG3140 of whatG3739 we have seenG3708, and 12you people do not acceptG2983 our testimonyG3141. 12IfG1487 I toldG3004 you earthlyG1919 thingsG1919 and you do not believeG4100, howG4459 will you believeG4100 ifG1437 I tellG3004 you heavenlyG2032 thingsG2032? 1313NoG3762 oneG3762 has ascendedG305 into heavenG3772, exceptG1487G3361 14He who descendedG2597 from heavenG3772: 15the SonG5207 of ManG444. 14And justG2531 asG2531 16MosesG3475 liftedG5312 upG5312 the serpentG3789 in the wildernessG2048, soG3779 mustG1163 17the SonG5207 of ManG444 18be liftedG5312 upG5312, 15soG2443 thatG2443 everyoneG3956 who 19believesG4100 will 20haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 in Him.

16“For GodG2316 soG3779 21lovedG25 the worldG2889, that He 22gaveG1325 His 23onlyG3439 SonG5207, soG2443 thatG2443 everyoneG3956 who 24believesG4100 in Him will not perishG622, but haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
