John 3
1 But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name 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.
this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be 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 answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not 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? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to 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 answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
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.
You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for 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 blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things!
Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know 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 to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive 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 of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
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.
And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of 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 it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous 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 the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous 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 did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
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 who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in 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 judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were 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 everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
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 he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
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 land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
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 immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
24 for John was not yet cast into prison.
for John was not yet cast into the prison—
25 There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification.
there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about 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 was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, 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 answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given 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 yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been 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.
He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
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 who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
32 [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.
And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;
he who is receiving His testimony sealed 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 He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the 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 into His hand;
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 who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
