John 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
There was a man of the Pharisees, the name to him Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou have come a teacher from God, for no man can do these signs that thou do if God is not with him.
the same came to Him by night, and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God; for no one is able to do these miracles, which thou art doing, unless God may he with him.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus responded and said to him, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, unless any one may be born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be begotten, being old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's belly, and be born?
Nicodemus says to him; How is a man able to be born, being old? whether he is able to enter the second time into the womb of his mother, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesus responded, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, Unless any one may be born of water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
6 That which is begotten from the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten from the Spirit is spirit.
That which has been born of the flesh is flesh; and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, ye must be begotten from above.
Be not astonished because I said to thee; It behooveth you to be born from above.
8 The wind blows where it will, and thou hear the sound of it, but know not from where it comes, and where it goes. So is every man who is begotten from the Spirit.
The Spirit breathes on whom He willeth, and thou hearest His voice, but dost not know whence He cometh and whither He goeth; so is every one who has been born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things happen?
Nicodemus responded and said to Him, How are these things able to he?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Thou are the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
Jesus responded and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things?
11 Truly, truly, I say to thee, we speak that which we know, and testify of what we have seen, and ye do not accept our testimony.
Truly, truly, I say unto thee, that we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and you received not our testimony.
12 If I told you earthly things, and ye do not believe, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly things?
If I spoke to you things upon the earth, and you do net believe, how will you believe, if I speak to you of things in heaven?
13 And no man has ascended into heaven, except he who came down out of heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven.
No one hath ascended up into heaven, but the one having come down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven.
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so does it behoove the Son of man to be lifted up:
15 so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
that every one believing in Him may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one believing on Him may not perish but have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent the Son into the world not that he might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
For God sent not His Son into the world that He may condemn the world; but that the world through Him may be saved.
18 He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
He that believeth on Him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, has already been condemned, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil.
And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light; for their works are evil.
20 For every man who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed.
For every one doing evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be convicted;
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.
but every one doing the truth comes to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they have been wrought in God.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the Judean country. And he remained there with them and immersed.
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the Judean country; and there He was tarrying with them and baptizing.
23 And John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed.
And John was also baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there were many waters there: and they came and baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Therefore a debate developed from John's disciples with the Jews about purification.
And there was a disputation of the disciples of John, concerning purifying.
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him.
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, He who is with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all are coming to Him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven.
John responded and said, No man is able to receive anything, unless it may have been given unto him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent ahead of that man.
You are witnessing to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This therefore my joy is fulfilled.
The one having the bride is the Bridegroom: but the friend of the Bridegroom is the one standing and hearing him, rejoiceth with joy on account of the Bridegroom: This, my joy has been made complete.
30 It is necessary for that man to increase, but me to decrease.
It behooveth Him to increase, and me to decrease.
31 He who comes from above is above all things. He who is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all things.
He that cometh from above is above all;
32 And what he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no man receives his testimony.
the one being of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. The one coming from heaven witnesses what He has seen and heard, and no one receives His testimony.
33 He who has received his testimony has set a seal that God is true.
The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 For he whom God sent speaks the sayings of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
For whom God sent speaketh the words of God: for He does not give His spirit by measure.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hands.
