1
There was a manG444 of the Pharisees,G5330 namedG3686 Nicodemus,G3530 a rulerG758 of the Jews:G2453
2
The sameG3778 cameG2064 to JesusG2424 by night,G3571 and saidG2036 to him, Rabbi,G4461 we knowG1492 that you are a teacherG1320 comeG2064 from God:G2316 for noG3762 manG3762 canG1410 doG4160 theseG5023 miraclesG4592 that you do,G4160 exceptG3362 GodG2316 be with him.
3
JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 to him, Truly,G281 truly,G281 I sayG3004 to you, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 again,G509 he cannotG3756 G1410 seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of God.G2316
4
NicodemusG3530 saidG3004 to him, HowG4459 canG1410 a manG444 be bornG1080 when he is old?G1088 canG1410 he enterG1525 the secondG1208 timeG1208 intoG1519 his mother'sG3384 womb,G2836 and be born?G1080
5
JesusG2424 answered,G611 Truly,G281 truly,G281 I sayG3004 to you, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 of waterG5204 and of the Spirit,G4151 he cannotG3756 G1410 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of God.G2316
6
That which is bornG1080 of the fleshG4561 is flesh;G4561 and that which is bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151 is spirit.G4151
7
MarvelG2296 not that I saidG2036 to you, You mustG1163 be bornG1080 again.G509
8
The windG4151 blowsG4154 whereG3699 it wants,G2309 and you hearG191 the soundG5456 thereof,G846 but canG1492 not tellG1492 from whereG4159 it comes,G2064 and whereG4226 it goes:G5217 soG3779 is everyG3956 one that is bornG1080 of the Spirit.G4151
9
NicodemusG3530 answeredG611 and saidG2036 to him, HowG4459 canG1410 theseG5023 things be?
10
JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 to him, AreG1488 you a masterG1320 of Israel,G2474 and knowG1097 not theseG5023 things?
11
Truly,G281 truly,G281 I sayG3004 to you, We speakG2980 that we do know,G1492 and testifyG3140 that we have seen;G3708 and you receiveG2983 not our witness.G3141
12
IfG1487 I have toldG2036 you earthlyG1919 things, and you believeG4100 not, howG4459 shall you believe,G4100 ifG1437 I tellG2036 you of heavenlyG2032 things?
13
And noG3762 manG3762 has ascendedG305 up to heaven,G3772 but he that cameG2597 downG2597 from heaven,G3772 even the SonG5207 of manG444 whichG3588 is in heaven.G3772
14
And as MosesG3475 liftedG5312 up the serpentG3789 in the wilderness,G2048 even soG3779 mustG1163 the SonG5207 of manG444 be liftedG5312 up:
15
That whoeverG3956 G3588 believesG4100 in him should not perish,G622 but haveG2192 eternalG166 life.G2222
16
For GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 the world,G2889 that he gaveG1325 his onlyG3439 begottenG3439 Son,G5207 that whoeverG3956 G3588 believesG4100 in him should not perish,G622 but haveG2192 everlastingG166 life.G2222
17
For GodG2316 sentG649 not his SonG5207 intoG1519 the worldG2889 to condemnG2919 the world;G2889 but that the worldG2889 throughG1223 him might be saved.G4982
18
He that believesG4100 onG1519 him is not condemned:G2919 but he that believesG4100 not is condemnedG2919 already,G2235 becauseG3754 he has not believedG4100 in the nameG3686 of the onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207 of God.G2316
19
And thisG3778 is the condemnation,G2920 that lightG5457 is comeG2064 intoG1519 the world,G2889 and menG444 lovedG25 darknessG4655 ratherG3123 thanG2228 light,G5457 becauseG1063 their deedsG2041 were evil.G4190
20
For everyG3956 one that doesG4160 evilG5337 hatesG3404 the light,G5457 neitherG2532 G3756 comesG2064 to the light,G5457 lestG2443 G3361 his deedsG2041 should be reproved.G1651
21
But he that doesG4160 truthG225 comesG2064 to the light,G5457 that his deedsG2041 may be madeG5319 manifest,G5319 that they are workedG2038 in God.G2316
22
AfterG3326 theseG5023 things cameG2064 JesusG2424 and his disciplesG3101 intoG1519 the landG1093 of Judaea;G2449 and thereG1563 he tarriedG1304 with them, and baptized.G907
23
And JohnG2491 alsoG2532 was baptizingG907 in AenonG137 nearG1451 to Salim,G4530 becauseG3754 there was muchG4183 waterG5204 there:G1563 and they came,G3854 and were baptized.G907
24
For JohnG2491 was not yetG3768 castG906 intoG1519 prison.G5438
25
ThenG3767 there aroseG1096 a questionG2214 betweenG1537 G3326 some of John'sG2491 disciplesG3101 and the JewsG2453 aboutG4012 purifying.G2512
26
And they cameG2064 to John,G2491 and saidG2036 to him, Rabbi,G4461 he that was with you beyondG4008 Jordan,G2446 to whomG3739 you boreG3140 witness,G3140 behold,G2396 the sameG3778 baptizes,G907 and allG3956 men comeG2064 to him.
27
JohnG2491 answeredG611 and said,G2036 A manG444 canG1410 receiveG2983 nothing,G3762 exceptG3362 it be givenG1325 him from heaven.G3772
28
You yourselvesG5210 G846 bearG3140 me witness,G3140 that I said,G2036 I amG1510 not the Christ,G5547 but that I amG1510 sentG649 beforeG1715 him.
29
He that hasG2192 the brideG3565 is the bridegroom:G3566 but the friendG5384 of the bridegroom,G3566 whichG3588 standsG2476 and hearsG191 him, rejoicesG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom'sG3566 voice:G5456 thisG3778 my joyG5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilled.G4137
30
He mustG1163 increase,G837 but I must decrease.G1642
31
He that comesG2064 from aboveG509 is aboveG1883 all:G3956 he that is of the earthG1093 is earthly,G1537 G3588 G1093 and speaksG2980 of the earth:G1093 he that comesG2064 from heavenG3772 is aboveG1883 all.G3956
32
And whatG3739 he has seenG3708 and heard,G191 that he testifies;G3140 and noG3762 manG3762 receivesG2983 his testimony.G3141
33
He that has receivedG2983 his testimonyG3141 has setG4972 to his sealG4972 that GodG2316 is true.G227
34
For he whomG3739 GodG2316 has sentG649 speaksG2980 the wordsG4487 of God:G2316 for GodG2316 givesG1325 not the SpiritG4151 by measureG3358 to him.
35
The FatherG3962 lovesG25 the Son,G5207 and has givenG1325 allG3956 things intoG1722 his hand.G5495
36
He that believesG4100 onG1519 the SonG5207 hasG2192 everlastingG166 life:G2222 and he that believesG544 not the SonG5207 shall not seeG3700 life;G2222 but the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 staysG3306 onG1909 him.
