John - Chapter: 3

>
3:1And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews,
3:2this one came unto him by night, and said to him, `Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'
3:3Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'
3:4Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?'
3:5Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;
3:6that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.
3:7`Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;
3:8the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.'
3:9Nicodemus answered and said to him, `How are these things able to happen?'
3:10Jesus answered and said to him, `Thou art the teacher of Israel -- and these things thou dost not know!
3:11`Verily, verily, I say to thee -- What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye do not receive;
3:12if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
3:13and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down -- the Son of Man who is in the heaven.
3:14`And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,
3:15that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,
3:16for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.
3:17For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;
3:18he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
3:19`And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
3:20for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected;
3:21but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'
3:22After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;
3:23and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized --
3:24for John was not yet cast into the prison --
3:25there arose then a question from the disciples of John with `some' Jews about purifying,
3:26and they came unto John, and said to him, `Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.'
3:27John answered and said, `A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;
3:28ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
3:29he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.
3:30`Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
3:31he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.
3:32`And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
3:33he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
3:34for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
3:35the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
3:36he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

 

3:1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
3:2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3:3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
3:4Nicodemus 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?
3:5Jesus 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.
3:6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
3:7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
3:8The 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.
3:9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
3:10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
3:11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
3:12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
3:13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
3:14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
3:15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
3:18He 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.
3:19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
3:21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
3:22After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
3:23And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
3:24For John was not yet cast into prison.
3:25Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
3:26And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
3:27John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
3:28Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
3:29He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
3:30He must increase, but I must decrease.
3:31He 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.
3:32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
3:33He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
3:34For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
3:35The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
3:36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

 

3:1But there was a man from the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews.
3:2This one came to Jesus by night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that You have come as a teacher from God. For no one is able to do these miracles which You do, except God be with Him.
3:3Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, if one does not receive birth from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.
3:4Nicodemus said to Him, How is a man able to be born, being old? He is not able to enter into his mother's womb a second time and be born?
3:5Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, if one does not receive birth out of water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
3:6That receiving birth from the flesh is flesh, and that receiving birth from the Spirit is spirit.
3:7Do not wonder because I told you, You must receive birth from above.
3:8The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice; but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who has received birth from the Spirit.
3:9Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How can these things come about?
3:10Jesus answered and said to him, You are the teacher of Israel, and you do not know these things?
3:11Truly, truly, I say to you, That which we know, we speak; and that which we have seen, we testify. And you do not receive our testimony.
3:12If I tell you earthly things, and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
3:13And no one has gone up into Heaven, except He having come down out of Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven.
3:14And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,
3:15that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
3:18The one believing into Him is not condemned; but the one not believing has already been condemned, for he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.
3:19And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the Light, for their works were evil.
3:20For everyone practicing wickedness hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, that his works may not be exposed.
3:21But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
3:22After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea. And He continued there with them and baptized.
3:23And was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, for many waters were there. And they came and were being baptized.
3:24For had not yet been thrown into the prison.
3:25Then a question from John's disciples arose with the Jews about purifying.
3:26And they came to and said to him, Teacher, the one who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have witnessed, behold, this one baptizes, and all are coming to Him.
3:27answered and said, A man is able to receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven.
3:28You yourselves witness to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that having been sent, I am going before that One.
3:29The one having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. Then this my joy has been fulfilled.
3:30That One must increase, but I must decrease.
3:31The One coming from above is above all. The one being of the earth is earthy, and speaks of the earth. The One coming out of Heaven is above all.
3:32And what He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and no one receives His testimony.
3:33The one receiving His testimony has sealed that God is true.
3:34For the One whom God sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
3:35The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.
3:36The one believing into the Son has everlasting life; but the one disobeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
