John 3
1 And there was a man of 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 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.”
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, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to 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 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?”
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, “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;
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 has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been 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 You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
Be not astonished because I said to thee; It behooveth you to be born from above.
8 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.”
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 are these things able to happen?”
Nicodemus responded and said to Him, How are these things able to he?
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
Jesus responded and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things?
11 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;
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 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?
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 to Heaven, except 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, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to 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:
15 that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
that every one believing in Him may have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
16 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)
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 did not send 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 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.
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 the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the 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 everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
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 who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
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 Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the Judean country; and there He was tarrying with them and baptizing.
23 and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
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 the prison—
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
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 you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming 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 is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
John responded and said, No man is able to receive anything, unless it may have been given unto him from heaven.
28 you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been 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 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.
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 It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
It behooveth Him to increase, and me to decrease.
31 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.
He that cometh from above is above all;
32 And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none 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 who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true.
34 for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give 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 into His hand;
The Father loves the Son, and has given all things in His hands.
36 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)
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)
