| 3:15 | That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. |
| 3:16 | For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. |
| 3:17 | For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued. |

| 3:36 | Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. |
| 3:1 | There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: |

| 3:3 | Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. |
| 3:4 | Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? |
| 3:5 | Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. |
| 3:6 | That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. |
| 3:7 | Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. |
| 3:8 | The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. |
| 3:9 | Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? |
| 3:10 | Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? |

| 3:12 | If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? |
| 3:13 | And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. |
| 3:14 | And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: |
| 3:15 | That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. |
| 3:16 | For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. |
| 3:17 | For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. |
| 3:18 | He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. |
| 3:19 | And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. |
| 3:20 | For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. |
| 3:21 | But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. |
| 3:22 | After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. |

| 3:30 | He must increase, but I must decrease. |
| 3:31 | He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. |

| 3:33 | He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. |
| 3:34 | For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. |
| 3:35 | The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. |
