There was[G2258] a man[G444]of[G1537] the Pharisees[G5330], named[G3686]Nicodemus[G3530], a ruler[G758]of[G1537] the Jews[G2453]:
2
The same[G3778]came[G2064]to[G4314]Jesus[G2424] by night[G3571], and[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Rabbi[G4461], we know[G1492]that[G3754]thou[G4771]art[G2064] a teacher[G1320]come[G2064]from[G575]God[G2316]: for[G1063] no man[G3762]can[G1410]do[G4160]these[G5023]miracles[G4592]that[G3739]thou[G4771]doest[G4160], except[G3362]God[G2316]be[G5600]with[G3326]him[G846].
3Jesus[G2424]answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Verily[G281], verily[G281], I say[G3004] unto thee[G4671], Except[G3362] a man[G5100] be born[G1080]again[G509], he cannot[G1410]see[G1492] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316].
4Nicodemus[G3530]saith[G3004]unto[G4314]him[G846], How[G4459]can[G1410] a man[G444] be born[G1080] when he is[G5607]old?[G1088]can[G3361] he enter[G1525] the second time[G1208]into[G1519]his[G846] mother's womb[G2836], and[G2532] be born?[G1080]
5Jesus[G2424]answered[G611], Verily[G281], verily[G281], I say[G3004] unto thee[G4671], Except[G3362] a man[G5100] be born[G1080]of[G1537]water[G5204]and[G2532]of[G1537] the Spirit[G4151], he cannot[G3756]enter[G1525]into[G1519] the kingdom[G932]of[G1537]God[G2316].
6
That which is[G2076]born[G1080]of[G1537] the flesh[G4561]is[G2076]flesh[G4561]; and[G2532] that which is[G2076]born[G1080]of[G1537] the Spirit[G4151]is[G2076]spirit[G4151].
7Marvel[G2296]not[G3361]that[G3754] I said[G2036] unto thee[G4671], Ye[G5209]must[G1163] be born[G1080]again[G509].
8
The wind[G4151]bloweth[G4154]where[G3699] it listeth[G2309], and[G2532] thou hearest[G191] the sound[G5456]thereof[G846], but[G235]canst[G1492]not[G3756]tell[G1492]whence[G4159] it cometh[G2064], and[G2532]whither[G4226] it goeth[G5217]: so[G3779]is[G2076] every one[G3956] that is[G2076]born[G1080]of[G1537] the Spirit[G4151].
9Nicodemus[G3530]answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846], How[G4459]can[G1410] these things[G5023]be?[G1096]
10Jesus[G2424]answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Art[G1488]thou[G4771] a master[G1320] of Israel[G2474], and[G2532]knowest[G1097]not[G3756] these things?[G5023]
11Verily[G281], verily[G281], I say[G3004] unto thee[G4671], We speak[G2980]that[G3754] we do know[G1492], and[G2532]testify[G3140]that[G3739] we have seen[G3708]; and[G2532] ye receive[G2983]not[G3756]our[G2257]witness[G3141].
12If[G1487] I have told[G2036]you[G5213] earthly things[G1919], and[G2532] ye believe[G4100]not[G3756], how[G4459] shall ye believe[G4100], if[G1437] I tell[G2036]you[G5213] of heavenly things?[G2032]
13And[G2532] no man[G3762] hath ascended up[G305]to[G1519]heaven[G3772], but[G1508] he that came down[G2597]from[G1537]heaven[G3772], even the Son[G5207] of man[G444]which[G3588]is[G5607]in[G1722]heaven[G3772].
14And[G2532]as[G2531]Moses[G3475] lifted up[G5312] the serpent[G3789]in[G1722] the wilderness[G2048], even so[G3779]must[G1163] the Son[G5207] of man[G444] be lifted up[G5312]:
16For[G1063]God[G2316]so[G3779]loved[G25] the world[G2889], that[G5620] he gave[G1325]his[G846] only begotten[G3439]Son[G5207], that[G2443]whosoever[G3956]believeth[G4100]in[G1519]him[G846]should[G622]not[G3361]perish[G622], but[G235]have[G2192]everlasting[G166]life[G2222].
17For[G1063]God[G2316]sent[G649]not[G3756]his[G846]Son[G5207]into[G1519] the world[G2889]to[G2443]condemn[G2919] the world[G2889]; but[G235]that[G2443] the world[G2889]through[G1223]him[G846] might be saved[G4982].
18
He that believeth[G4100]on[G1519]him[G846]is[G2919]not[G3756]condemned[G2919]: but[G1161] he that believeth[G4100]not[G3361]is[G2919]condemned[G2919]already[G2235], because[G3754] he hath[G4100]not[G3361]believed[G4100]in[G1519] the name[G3686] of the only begotten[G3439]Son[G5207] of God[G2316].
19And[G1161]this[G3778]is[G2076] the condemnation[G2920], that[G3754]light[G5457]is[G2076]come[G2064]into[G1519] the world[G2889], and[G2532]men[G444]loved[G25]darkness[G4655]rather[G3123]than[G2228]light[G5457], because[G1063]their[G846]deeds[G2041]were[G2258]evil[G4190].
20For[G1063] every one[G3956] that doeth[G4238]evil[G5337]hateth[G3404] the light[G5457], neither[G2532]cometh[G2064]to[G4314] the light[G5457], lest[G3363]his[G846]deeds[G2041] should be reproved[G1651].
21But[G1161] he that[G2443]doeth[G4160]truth[G225]cometh[G2064]to[G4314] the light[G5457], that[G3754]his[G846]deeds[G2041] may be made manifest[G5319], that[G3754] they are[G2076]wrought[G2038]in[G1722]God[G2316].
22After[G3326] these things[G5023]came[G2064]Jesus[G2424]and[G2532]his[G846]disciples[G3101]into[G1519] the land[G1093] of Judaea[G2449]; and[G2532]there[G1563] he tarried[G1304]with[G3326]them[G846], and[G2532]baptized[G907].
23And[G1161]John[G2491]also[G2532]was[G2258]baptizing[G907]in[G1722]Aenon[G137]near[G1451] to Salim[G4530], because[G3754]there[G1563]was[G2258]much[G4183]water[G5204]there[G1563]: and[G2532] they came[G3854], and[G2532] were baptized[G907].
24For[G1063]John[G2491]was[G2258] not yet[G3768]cast[G906]into[G1519]prison[G5438].
25Then[G3767] there arose[G1096] a question[G2214]between[G3326] some of[G1537] John's disciples[G3101] and the Jews[G2453]about[G4012]purifying[G2512].
26And[G2532] they came[G2064]unto[G4314]John[G2491], and[G2532]said[G2036]unto[G4314]him[G846], Rabbi[G4461], he[G3739] that was[G2258]with[G3326]thee[G4675]beyond[G4008]Jordan[G2446], to[G4314]whom[G3739]thou[G4771] barest witness[G3140], behold[G2396], the same[G3778]baptizeth[G907], and[G2532]all[G3956] men come[G2064]to[G4314]him[G846].
27John[G2491]answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036], A man[G444]can[G1410]receive[G2983]nothing[G3762], except[G3362] it be[G5600]given[G1325]him[G846]from[G1537]heaven[G3772].
28Ye[G5210]yourselves[G846]bear[G3140]me[G3427]witness[G3140], that[G3754]I[G1473]said[G2036], I[G1473]am[G1510]not[G3756] the Christ[G5547], but[G235]that[G3754]I[G1473]am[G1510]sent[G649]before[G1715]him[G1565].
29
He that hath[G2192] the bride[G3565]is[G2076] the bridegroom[G3566]: but[G1161] the friend[G5384] of the bridegroom[G3566], which[G3588]standeth[G2476]and[G2532]heareth[G191]him[G846], rejoiceth[G5463]greatly[G5479]because[G1223] of the bridegroom[G3566]'s voice[G5456]: this[G3778]my[G1699]joy[G5479]therefore[G3767]is[G2076]fulfilled[G4137].
31
He that cometh[G2064]from[G1537]above[G509]is[G2076]above[G1883]all[G3956]: he that is[G5607]of[G1537] the earth[G1093]is[G5607]earthly[G1537], and[G2532]speaketh[G2980]of[G1537] the earth[G1093]: he that cometh[G2064]from[G1537]heaven[G3772]is[G5607]above[G1883]all[G3956].
32And[G2532]what[G3739] he hath seen[G3708]and[G2532]heard[G191], that[G5124] he testifieth[G3140]; and[G2532] no man[G3762]receiveth[G2983]his[G846]testimony[G3141].
33
He that[G3754] hath received[G2983]his[G846]testimony[G3141] hath set to his[G846]seal[G4972]that[G3754]God[G2316]is[G2076]true[G227].
34For[G1063] he whom[G3739]God[G2316] hath sent[G649]speaketh[G2980] the words[G4487] of God[G2316]: for[G1063]God[G2316]giveth[G1325]not[G3756] the Spirit[G4151]by[G1537]measure[G3358] unto him.
35
The Father[G3962]loveth[G25] the Son[G5207], and[G2532] hath given[G1325] all things[G3956]into[G1722]his[G846]hand[G5495].
36
He that believeth[G4100]on[G1519] the Son[G5207]hath[G2192]everlasting[G166]life[G2222]: and[G1161] he that believeth[G4100]not[G544] the Son[G5207]shall[G3700]not[G3756]see[G3700]life[G2222]; but[G235] the wrath[G3709] of God[G2316]abideth[G3306]on[G1909]him[G846].
