4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, 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, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the 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 born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of 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 unto thee, Ye must be born anew.
Be not astonished because I said to thee; It behooveth you to be born from above.
8 The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of 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 unto him, How can these things be?
Nicodemus responded and said to Him, How are these things able to he?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

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 not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should 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 that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on 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 judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works 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 one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
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 that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been 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.

25 There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
And there was a disputation of the disciples of John, concerning purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, 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.

He that cometh from above is above all;
32 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.
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 that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true.
The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
