John 3
1 But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
There was a man of the Pharisees, the name to him Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 he came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these signs that thou doest unless God be 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, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew 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 born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother 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 any one be born of water and of 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 Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that ye should be born anew.
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 hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus 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 to him, How can these things be?
Nicodemus responded and said to Him, How are these things able to he?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things!
Jesus responded and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness.
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 have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe?
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 one has gone up into heaven, save 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 as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus 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:
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, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. (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 has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may 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 believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has 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 light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than 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 does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are;
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 practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested 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.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised.
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 baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because there was a great deal of water there; and they came to [him] and were baptised:
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 There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew 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, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all 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 be given him out of 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 bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
You are witnessing to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him.
29 He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then 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 He must increase, but I must decrease.
It behooveth Him to increase, and me to decrease.
31 He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all,
He that cometh from above is above all;
32 [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one 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 that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;
The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not 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 [to be] in his hand.
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hands.
36 He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him. (aiōnios g166)
He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
