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 there, whose name was 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.
And he came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God; for no one can work those signs which thou workest, unless God 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 replied, and said to him: Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born anew, he cannot behold 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 said to him: How can an old man be born? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb 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 replied, and said to him Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter 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 is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is 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 surprised that I said to thee, Ye must be born anew.
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 wind bloweth where it chooseth; and thou hearest its sound, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one, that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things!
Jesus answered, 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.
Verily, verily, I say to thee: We speak, what we know; and we testify to what we have seen; but ye receive 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 have spoken to you of things on earth, and ye believe not; how will ye believe, if I speak 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.
And no one hath ascended to heaven, but he that descended 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 elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
that every one who believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life eternal. (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 whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but should have life eternal. (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, to condemn the world; but that the world might live by means of 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 that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath 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 ground of condemnation, that light hath come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, for their deeds have been 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 that doeth abominable things, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
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 that doeth right, cometh to the light, that his works may be known to be done 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, came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them, and baptized.
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 also was baptizing in 'non, which is near to Salim, because there were many waters there: and the people came, and were baptized.
24 for John was not yet cast into prison.
For John had not yet fallen into prison.
25 There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification.
And one of John's disciples and a certain Jew had disputed respecting purification.
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: Our Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, and of whom thou gavest testimony, lo, he also baptizeth; and many go after him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it be given him out of heaven.
John answered, and said to them: A man cannot take any thing by his own choice, unless it be 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.
Ye are witnesses for me, that I said: I am not the Messiah, but am sent to go 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 that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and listeneth to him, rejoiceth with great joy on account of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, lo, it is full.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
To him must be increase, and to me 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,
For he that cometh from above, is above all; and he that is from the earth, is of the earth, and talketh of the earth. He that cometh 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 hath seen and heard, he testifieth; and his testimony, no one receiveth.
33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;
But he that receiveth 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 he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God hath not given the Spirit by measure to him.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand.
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given every thing into 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 believeth on the Son, hath life eternal; but he who obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life. but the wrath of God will abide upon him. (aiōnios g166)
