Chapter 3

1 There1161 was2258 a man444 of1537 the3588 Pharisees,5330 named3686 Nicodemus,3530 a ruler758 of the3588 Jews: 2453

2 The same3778 came2064 to4314 Jesus2424 by night,3571 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Rabbi,4461 we know1492 that3754 thou art a teacher1320 come2064 from575 God:2316 for1063 no man3762 can1410 do4160 these5023 miracles4592 that3739 thou4771 doest,4160 except3362 God2316 be5600 with3326 him.846

3 Jesus2424 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Verily,281 verily,281 I say3004 unto thee,4671 Except3362 a man5100 be born1080 again,509 he cannot1410 3756 see1492 the3588 kingdom932 of God.2316

4 Nicodemus3530 saith3004 unto4314 him,846 How4459 can1410 a man444 be born1080 when he is5607 old?1088 can1410 he3361 enter1525 the second time1208 into1519 his848 mother's3384 womb,2836 and2532 be born?1080

5 Jesus2424 answered,611 Verily,281 verily,281 I say3004 unto thee,4671 Except3362 a man5100 be born1080 of1537 water5204 and2532 of the Spirit,4151 he cannot1410 3756 enter1525 into1519 the3588 kingdom932 of God.2316

6 That which is born1080 of1537 the3588 flesh4561 is2076 flesh;4561 and2532 that which is born1080 of1537 the3588 Spirit4151 is2076 spirit.4151

7 Marvel2296 not3361 that3754 I said2036 unto thee,4671 Ye5209 must1163 be born1080 again.509

8 The3588 wind4151 bloweth4154 where3699 it listeth,2309 and2532 thou hearest191 the3588 sound5456 thereof,846 but235 canst not tell1492 3756 whence4159 it cometh,2064 and2532 whither4226 it goeth: 5217 so3779 is2076 every one3956 that is born1080 of1537 the3588 Spirit.4151

9 Nicodemus3530 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 How4459 can1410 these things5023 be?1096

10 Jesus2424 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Art1488 thou4771 a master1320 of Israel,2474 and2532 knowest1097 not3756 these things?5023

11 Verily,281 verily,281 I say3004 unto thee,4671 We3754 speak2980 that3739 we do know,1492 and2532 testify3140 that3739 we have seen;3708 and2532 ye receive2983 not3756 our2257 witness.3141

12 If1487 I have told2036 you5213 earthly things,1919 and2532 ye believe4100 not,3756 how4459 shall ye believe,4100 if1437 I tell2036 you5213 of heavenly things?2032

13 And2532 no man3762 hath ascended up305 to1519 heaven,3772 but1508 he that came down2597 from1537 heaven,3772 even the3588 Son5207 of man444 which is5607 in1722 heaven.3772

14 And2532 as2531 Moses3475 lifted up5312 the3588 serpent3789 in1722 the3588 wilderness,2048 even so3779 must1163 the3588 Son5207 of man444 be lifted up: 5312

15 That2443 whosoever3956 believeth4100 in1519 him846 should not3361 perish,622 but235 have2192 eternal166 life.2222

16 For1063 God2316 so3779 loved25 the3588 world,2889 that5620 he gave1325 his848 only begotten3439 Son,5207 that2443 whosoever3956 believeth4100 in1519 him846 should not3361 perish,622 but235 have2192 everlasting166 life.2222

17 For1063 God2316 sent649 not3756 his848 Son5207 into1519 the3588 world2889 to2443 condemn2919 the3588 world;2889 but235 that2443 the3588 world2889 through1223 him846 might be saved.4982

18 He that believeth4100 on1519 him846 is not3756 condemned: 2919 but1161 he that believeth4100 not3361 is condemned2919 already,2235 because3754 he hath not3361 believed4100 in1519 the3588 name3686 of the3588 only begotten3439 Son5207 of God.2316

19 And1161 this3778 is2076 the3588 condemnation,2920 that3754 light5457 is come2064 into1519 the3588 world,2889 and2532 men444 loved25 darkness4655 rather3123 than2228 light,5457 because1063 their846 deeds2041 were2258 evil.4190

20 For1063 every one3956 that doeth4238 evil5337 hateth3404 the3588 light,5457 neither2532 3756 cometh2064 to4314 the3588 light,5457 lest3363 his846 deeds2041 should be reproved.1651

21 But1161 he that doeth4160 truth225 cometh2064 to4314 the3588 light,5457 that2443 his846 deeds2041 may be made manifest,5319 that3754 they are2076 wrought2038 in1722 God.2316

22 After3326 these things5023 came2064 Jesus2424 and2532 his846 disciples3101 into1519 the3588 land1093 of Judea;2449 and2532 there1563 he tarried1304 with3326 them,846 and2532 baptized.907

23 And1161 John2491 also2532 was2258 baptizing907 in1722 Aenon137 near to1451 Salim,4530 because3754 there was2258 much4183 water5204 there:1563 and2532 they came,3854 and2532 were baptized.907

24 For1063 John2491 was2258 not yet3768 cast906 into1519 prison.5438

25 Then3767 there arose1096 a question2214 between some of1537 John's2491 disciples3101 and3326 the Jews2453 about4012 purifying.2512

26 And2532 they came2064 unto4314 John,2491 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Rabbi,4461 he that3739 was2258 with3326 thee4675 beyond4008 Jordan,2446 to whom3739 thou4771 barest witness,3140 behold,2396 the same3778 baptizeth,907 and2532 all3956 men come2064 to4314 him.846

27 John2491 answered611 and2532 said,2036 A man444 can1410 3756 receive2983 nothing,3762 except3362 it be5600 given1325 him846 from1537 heaven.3772

28 Ye5210 yourselves846 bear me witness,3140 3427 that3754 I said,2036 I1473 am1510 not3756 the3588 Christ,5547 but235 that3754 I am1510 sent649 before1715 him.1565

29 He that hath2192 the3588 bride3565 is2076 the bridegroom:3566 but1161 the3588 friend5384 of the3588 bridegroom,3566 which standeth2476 and2532 heareth191 him,846 rejoiceth5463 greatly5479 because1223 of the3588 bridegroom's3566 voice:5456 this3778 my1699 joy5479 therefore3767 is fulfilled.4137

30 He1565 must1163 increase,837 but1161 I1691 must decrease.1642

31 He that cometh2064 from above509 is2076 above1883 all:3956 he that is5607 of1537 the3588 earth1093 is2076 earthly,1537 1093 and2532 speaketh2980 of1537 the3588 earth:1093 he that cometh2064 from1537 heaven3772 is2076 above1883 all.3956

32 And2532 what3739 he hath seen3708 and2532 heard,191 that5124 he testifieth;3140 and2532 no man3762 receiveth2983 his846 testimony.3141

33 He that hath received2983 his846 testimony3141 hath set to his seal4972 that3754 God2316 is2076 true.227

34 For1063 he whom3739 God2316 hath sent649 speaketh2980 the3588 words4487 of God:2316 for1063 God2316 giveth1325 not3756 the3588 Spirit4151 by1537 measure3358 unto him.

35 The3588 Father3962 loveth25 the3588 Son,5207 and2532 hath given1325 all things3956 into1722 his846 hand.5495

36 He that believeth4100 on1519 the3588 Son5207 hath2192 everlasting166 life:2222 and1161 he that believeth544 not the3588 Son5207 shall not3756 see3700 life;2222 but235 the3588 wrath3709 of God2316 abideth3306 on1909 him.846

Chapter 3

1 THERE was there a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews;

2 He came at night to Jesus and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these miracles that you are doing, except God is with him.

3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man is not born again,* he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus said to him, How can an old man be born again? can he enter again a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man is not born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 What is born of flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Do not be surprised because I have told you that you all must be born again.

8 The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound; but you do not know whence it comes and whither it goes; such is every man who is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

10 Jesus answered and said to, You are a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

11 Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak only what we know, and we testify only to what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our testimony.

12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how then will you believe me, if I tell you about heavenly things?

13 No man has ascended to heaven, except he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man is ready to be lifted up;

15 So that every man who believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he even gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world should be saved by him.

18 He who believes in him will not be condemned; and he who does not believe has already been condemned, for not believing in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and yet men have loved darkness more than light, because their works were evil.

20 For every one who does detested things hates the light, and he does not come to the light, because his works cannot be covered.

21 But he who does truthful things comes to the light, so that his works may be known, that they are done through God.

22 After these things, Jesus and his disciples came to the land of Judaea, and he remained there with them, and baptized.

23 John also was baptizing at the spring of Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.

24 For John was not yet cast into prison.

25 Now it happened that a dispute arose between one of John's disciples and a Jew about the ceremony of purifying.

26 So they came to John and told him, Teacher, he who was with you at the Jordan crossing, concerning whom you testified, behold, he also is baptizing and a great many are coming to him.

27 John answered and said to them, No man can receive anything of his own will, except it is given to him from heaven.

28 You yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but only a messenger to go before him.

29 He who has a bride is the bridegroom; and the best man of the bridegroom is he who stands up and listens to him, and rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

30 He must become greater and I lesser.

31 For he who has come from above is above all; and he who is of the earth is of the earth, and he speaks of earthly things; but he who has come from heaven is above all.

32 And he testifies of what he has seen and heard, and yet no man accepts his testimony.

33 He who accepts his testimony, has set his seal that God is true.

34 For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God did not give the Spirit by measure.

35 The Father loves the Son, and has placed everything under his hand.

36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not obey the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God shall remain on him.

Chapter 3

1 There1161 was2258 a man444 of1537 the3588 Pharisees,5330 named3686 Nicodemus,3530 a ruler758 of the3588 Jews: 2453

1 THERE was there a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews;

2 The same3778 came2064 to4314 Jesus2424 by night,3571 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Rabbi,4461 we know1492 that3754 thou art a teacher1320 come2064 from575 God:2316 for1063 no man3762 can1410 do4160 these5023 miracles4592 that3739 thou4771 doest,4160 except3362 God2316 be5600 with3326 him.846

2 He came at night to Jesus and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these miracles that you are doing, except God is with him.

3 Jesus2424 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Verily,281 verily,281 I say3004 unto thee,4671 Except3362 a man5100 be born1080 again,509 he cannot1410 3756 see1492 the3588 kingdom932 of God.2316

3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man is not born again,* he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus3530 saith3004 unto4314 him,846 How4459 can1410 a man444 be born1080 when he is5607 old?1088 can1410 he3361 enter1525 the second time1208 into1519 his848 mother's3384 womb,2836 and2532 be born?1080

4 Nicodemus said to him, How can an old man be born again? can he enter again a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus2424 answered,611 Verily,281 verily,281 I say3004 unto thee,4671 Except3362 a man5100 be born1080 of1537 water5204 and2532 of the Spirit,4151 he cannot1410 3756 enter1525 into1519 the3588 kingdom932 of God.2316

5 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man is not born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born1080 of1537 the3588 flesh4561 is2076 flesh;4561 and2532 that which is born1080 of1537 the3588 Spirit4151 is2076 spirit.4151

6 What is born of flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel2296 not3361 that3754 I said2036 unto thee,4671 Ye5209 must1163 be born1080 again.509

7 Do not be surprised because I have told you that you all must be born again.

8 The3588 wind4151 bloweth4154 where3699 it listeth,2309 and2532 thou hearest191 the3588 sound5456 thereof,846 but235 canst not tell1492 3756 whence4159 it cometh,2064 and2532 whither4226 it goeth: 5217 so3779 is2076 every one3956 that is born1080 of1537 the3588 Spirit.4151

8 The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound; but you do not know whence it comes and whither it goes; such is every man who is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus3530 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 How4459 can1410 these things5023 be?1096

9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

10 Jesus2424 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Art1488 thou4771 a master1320 of Israel,2474 and2532 knowest1097 not3756 these things?5023

10 Jesus answered and said to, You are a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

11 Verily,281 verily,281 I say3004 unto thee,4671 We3754 speak2980 that3739 we do know,1492 and2532 testify3140 that3739 we have seen;3708 and2532 ye receive2983 not3756 our2257 witness.3141

11 Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak only what we know, and we testify only to what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our testimony.

12 If1487 I have told2036 you5213 earthly things,1919 and2532 ye believe4100 not,3756 how4459 shall ye believe,4100 if1437 I tell2036 you5213 of heavenly things?2032

12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how then will you believe me, if I tell you about heavenly things?

13 And2532 no man3762 hath ascended up305 to1519 heaven,3772 but1508 he that came down2597 from1537 heaven,3772 even the3588 Son5207 of man444 which is5607 in1722 heaven.3772

13 No man has ascended to heaven, except he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

14 And2532 as2531 Moses3475 lifted up5312 the3588 serpent3789 in1722 the3588 wilderness,2048 even so3779 must1163 the3588 Son5207 of man444 be lifted up: 5312

14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man is ready to be lifted up;

15 That2443 whosoever3956 believeth4100 in1519 him846 should not3361 perish,622 but235 have2192 eternal166 life.2222

15 So that every man who believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For1063 God2316 so3779 loved25 the3588 world,2889 that5620 he gave1325 his848 only begotten3439 Son,5207 that2443 whosoever3956 believeth4100 in1519 him846 should not3361 perish,622 but235 have2192 everlasting166 life.2222

16 For God so loved the world, that he even gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

17 For1063 God2316 sent649 not3756 his848 Son5207 into1519 the3588 world2889 to2443 condemn2919 the3588 world;2889 but235 that2443 the3588 world2889 through1223 him846 might be saved.4982

17 For God did not send his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world should be saved by him.

18 He that believeth4100 on1519 him846 is not3756 condemned: 2919 but1161 he that believeth4100 not3361 is condemned2919 already,2235 because3754 he hath not3361 believed4100 in1519 the3588 name3686 of the3588 only begotten3439 Son5207 of God.2316

18 He who believes in him will not be condemned; and he who does not believe has already been condemned, for not believing in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And1161 this3778 is2076 the3588 condemnation,2920 that3754 light5457 is come2064 into1519 the3588 world,2889 and2532 men444 loved25 darkness4655 rather3123 than2228 light,5457 because1063 their846 deeds2041 were2258 evil.4190

19 And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and yet men have loved darkness more than light, because their works were evil.

20 For1063 every one3956 that doeth4238 evil5337 hateth3404 the3588 light,5457 neither2532 3756 cometh2064 to4314 the3588 light,5457 lest3363 his846 deeds2041 should be reproved.1651

20 For every one who does detested things hates the light, and he does not come to the light, because his works cannot be covered.

21 But1161 he that doeth4160 truth225 cometh2064 to4314 the3588 light,5457 that2443 his846 deeds2041 may be made manifest,5319 that3754 they are2076 wrought2038 in1722 God.2316

21 But he who does truthful things comes to the light, so that his works may be known, that they are done through God.

22 After3326 these things5023 came2064 Jesus2424 and2532 his846 disciples3101 into1519 the3588 land1093 of Judea;2449 and2532 there1563 he tarried1304 with3326 them,846 and2532 baptized.907

22 After these things, Jesus and his disciples came to the land of Judaea, and he remained there with them, and baptized.

23 And1161 John2491 also2532 was2258 baptizing907 in1722 Aenon137 near to1451 Salim,4530 because3754 there was2258 much4183 water5204 there:1563 and2532 they came,3854 and2532 were baptized.907

23 John also was baptizing at the spring of Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.

24 For1063 John2491 was2258 not yet3768 cast906 into1519 prison.5438

24 For John was not yet cast into prison.

25 Then3767 there arose1096 a question2214 between some of1537 John's2491 disciples3101 and3326 the Jews2453 about4012 purifying.2512

25 Now it happened that a dispute arose between one of John's disciples and a Jew about the ceremony of purifying.

26 And2532 they came2064 unto4314 John,2491 and2532 said2036 unto him,846 Rabbi,4461 he that3739 was2258 with3326 thee4675 beyond4008 Jordan,2446 to whom3739 thou4771 barest witness,3140 behold,2396 the same3778 baptizeth,907 and2532 all3956 men come2064 to4314 him.846

26 So they came to John and told him, Teacher, he who was with you at the Jordan crossing, concerning whom you testified, behold, he also is baptizing and a great many are coming to him.

27 John2491 answered611 and2532 said,2036 A man444 can1410 3756 receive2983 nothing,3762 except3362 it be5600 given1325 him846 from1537 heaven.3772

27 John answered and said to them, No man can receive anything of his own will, except it is given to him from heaven.

28 Ye5210 yourselves846 bear me witness,3140 3427 that3754 I said,2036 I1473 am1510 not3756 the3588 Christ,5547 but235 that3754 I am1510 sent649 before1715 him.1565

28 You yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but only a messenger to go before him.

29 He that hath2192 the3588 bride3565 is2076 the bridegroom:3566 but1161 the3588 friend5384 of the3588 bridegroom,3566 which standeth2476 and2532 heareth191 him,846 rejoiceth5463 greatly5479 because1223 of the3588 bridegroom's3566 voice:5456 this3778 my1699 joy5479 therefore3767 is fulfilled.4137

29 He who has a bride is the bridegroom; and the best man of the bridegroom is he who stands up and listens to him, and rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

30 He1565 must1163 increase,837 but1161 I1691 must decrease.1642

30 He must become greater and I lesser.

31 He that cometh2064 from above509 is2076 above1883 all:3956 he that is5607 of1537 the3588 earth1093 is2076 earthly,1537 1093 and2532 speaketh2980 of1537 the3588 earth:1093 he that cometh2064 from1537 heaven3772 is2076 above1883 all.3956

31 For he who has come from above is above all; and he who is of the earth is of the earth, and he speaks of earthly things; but he who has come from heaven is above all.

32 And2532 what3739 he hath seen3708 and2532 heard,191 that5124 he testifieth;3140 and2532 no man3762 receiveth2983 his846 testimony.3141

32 And he testifies of what he has seen and heard, and yet no man accepts his testimony.

33 He that hath received2983 his846 testimony3141 hath set to his seal4972 that3754 God2316 is2076 true.227

33 He who accepts his testimony, has set his seal that God is true.

34 For1063 he whom3739 God2316 hath sent649 speaketh2980 the3588 words4487 of God:2316 for1063 God2316 giveth1325 not3756 the3588 Spirit4151 by1537 measure3358 unto him.

34 For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God did not give the Spirit by measure.

35 The3588 Father3962 loveth25 the3588 Son,5207 and2532 hath given1325 all things3956 into1722 his846 hand.5495

35 The Father loves the Son, and has placed everything under his hand.

36 He that believeth4100 on1519 the3588 Son5207 hath2192 everlasting166 life:2222 and1161 he that believeth544 not the3588 Son5207 shall not3756 see3700 life;2222 but235 the3588 wrath3709 of God2316 abideth3306 on1909 him.846

36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not obey the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God shall remain on him.
