| 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. |

| 3:22 | After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized. |
| 3:23 | And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. |

| 3:25 | Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying. |
| 3:26 | And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him. |
| 3:27 | Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen. |
| 3:28 | Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him. |
| 3:29 | He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled. |
| 3:30 | He must increase, but I must decrease. |
| 3:31 | Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all. |

| 3:35 | The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande. |
| 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. |
