< John 3 >

1 There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes.
There was now a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus name to him, a ruler of the Jews.
2 This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.
He came to (*k*) (Him *N(K)O*) by night and said to Him; Rabbi, we know that from God You have come a teacher; no [one] for is able these signs to do that You yourself do, only unless shall be God with him.
3 Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God.
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; Amen Amen I say to you; only unless someone shall be born from above, not he is able to see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne?
Says to Him Nicodemus; How is able a man to be born old being? Not is he able into the womb of the mother of him a second time to enter and to be born?
5 Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God.
Answered (*ko*) Jesus; Amen Amen I say to you, only unless someone shall be born of water and of [the] Spirit, not he is able to enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.
That born of the flesh flesh is, and that born of the Spirit spirit is.
7 Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.
Not may do wonder that I said to you; It is necessary for you [all] to be born from above.
8 The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit.
The wind where it wishes blows, and the sound of it You hear but not you know from where it comes and where it goes; thus is everyone who born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?
Answered Nicodemus and said to Him; How are able these things to be?
10 Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; You yourself are the teacher of Israel and these things not know?
11 Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.
Amen Amen I say to you that what we know we speak and what we have seen we bear witness to, and the witness of us not you people receive.
12 If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?
If the [things] earthly I have told you and not you believe, how if I may tell to you the [things] heavenly will you believe?
13 For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.
And no [one] has gone up into heaven only except the [One] out of heaven having come down, the Son of Man (who is being in heaven. *KO*)
14 And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,
And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus to be lifted up it behooves the Son of Man,
15 That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. (aiōnios g166)
so that everyone who is believing (in Him *N(k)O*) (not may perish but *K*) may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
Thus for loved God the world, that the Son (of him *ko*) the only begotten He gave, so that everyone who is believing in Him not may perish but may have life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.
Not for sent God the Son (of Him *ko*) into the world that He may judge the world, but that may be saved the world through Him.
18 Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God.
The [one] believing on Him not is judged; the [one] but not believing already has been judged because not he has believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill.
This now is the judgement that the Light has come into the world, and loved men rather the darkness than the Light; were for of them evil the deeds.
20 For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued.
Everyone for evil practicing hates the Light and not comes to the Light so that not may be exposed the works of him;
21 But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God.
the [one] however practicing the truth comes to the Light that may be manifest his works that in God have been done.
22 After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized.
After these things came Jesus and the disciples of Him into the Judean land, and there He was staying with them and was baptizing.
23 And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
Was now also (*no*) John baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because waters many were there. and they were coming and were being baptized;
24 For Iohn was not yet cast into prison.
Not yet for were cast into the prison John.
25 Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.
Arose then a debate among the disciples of John with ([a certain] Jew *N(K)O*) about purification.
26 And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
And they came to John and said to him; Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you yourself have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.
27 Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.
Answered John and said; Nothing is able a man to receive (and not *N(k)O*) (one *no*) only unless it shall be given to him from heaven.
28 Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Yourselves you yourselves to me bear witness that I said (that: *n*) (I myself *o*) Not am I myself the Christ, but for sent I am before Him.
29 He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.
The [one] having the bride [the] bridegroom is. the now friend of the bridegroom, the [one] having stood and listening for him, with joy rejoices because of the voice of the bridegroom. This therefore the joy of mine has been fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
Him it behooves to increase, me myself however to decrease.
31 Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all.
The [One] from above coming above all is. The [one] being from the earth from the earth is and from the earth speaks. The [One] from heaven coming above all is;
32 And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie.
(and *k*) What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and the testimony of Him no [one] receives.
33 He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true.
The [one] having received His testimony has set his seal that God true is.
34 For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure.
He whom for sent God, the declarations of God speaks; not for by measure He gives (God *KO*) the Spirit.
35 The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande.
The Father loves the Son and all things has given into the hand of Him.
36 Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
The [one] believing in the Son has life eternal; the [one] however not obeying the Son not will behold life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (aiōnios g166)
