< John 3 >

1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
There was now a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus name to him, a ruler of the Jews.
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be 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 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom 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 saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
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 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom 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 born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
That born of the flesh flesh is, and that born of the Spirit spirit is.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Not may do wonder that I said to you; It is necessary for you [all] to be born from above.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born 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 unto him, How can these things be?
Answered Nicodemus and said to Him; How are able these things to be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master 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 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
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 I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly 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 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
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 lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus to be lifted up it behooves the Son of Man,
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal 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 loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting 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 Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
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 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son 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 light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
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 every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
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 truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in 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 Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried 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 John also was baptizing in Ænon near to 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 John was not yet cast into prison.
Not yet for were cast into the prison John.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
Arose then a debate among the disciples of John with ([a certain] Jew *N(K)O*) about purification.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same 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 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
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 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the 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 bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy 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 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above 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 he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
(and *k*) What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and the testimony of Him no [one] receives.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
The [one] having received His testimony has set his seal that God true is.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
He whom for sent God, the declarations of God speaks; not for by measure He gives (God *KO*) the Spirit.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
The Father loves the Son and all things has given into the hand of Him.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son 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)
