< John 3 >

1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
ην δε ανθρωποσ εκ των φαρισαιων νικοδημοσ ονομα αυτω αρχων των ιουδαιων
2 This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.
ουτοσ ηλθεν προσ αυτον νυκτοσ και ειπεν αυτω ραββι οιδαμεν οτι απο θεου εληλυθασ διδασκαλοσ ουδεισ γαρ ταυτα τα σημεια δυναται ποιειν α συ ποιεισ εαν μη η ο θεοσ μετ αυτου
3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
απεκριθη ο ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη ανωθεν ου δυναται ιδειν την βασιλειαν του θεου
4 Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb a second time, and be born?
λεγει προσ αυτον ο νικοδημοσ πωσ δυναται ανθρωποσ γεννηθηναι γερων ων μη δυναται εισ την κοιλιαν τησ μητροσ αυτου δευτερον εισελθειν και γεννηθηναι
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
απεκριθη ιησουσ αμην αμην λεγω σοι εαν μη τισ γεννηθη εξ υδατοσ και πνευματοσ ου δυναται εισελθειν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
το γεγεννημενον εκ τησ σαρκοσ σαρξ εστιν και το γεγεννημενον εκ του πνευματοσ πνευμα εστιν
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
μη θαυμασησ οτι ειπον σοι δει υμασ γεννηθηναι ανωθεν
8 The wind bloweth where it will; and thou hearest the sound thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
το πνευμα οπου θελει πνει και την φωνην αυτου ακουεισ αλλ ουκ οιδασ ποθεν ερχεται και που υπαγει ουτωσ εστιν πασ ο γεγεννημενοσ εκ του πνευματοσ
9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
απεκριθη νικοδημοσ και ειπεν αυτω πωσ δυναται ταυτα γενεσθαι
10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?
απεκριθη ιησουσ και ειπεν αυτω συ ει ο διδασκαλοσ του ισραηλ και ταυτα ου γινωσκεισ
11 Truly, truly do I say to thee, We speak that which we know, and testify that which we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.
αμην αμην λεγω σοι οτι ο οιδαμεν λαλουμεν και ο εωρακαμεν μαρτυρουμεν και την μαρτυριαν ημων ου λαμβανετε
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
ει τα επιγεια ειπον υμιν και ου πιστευετε πωσ εαν ειπω υμιν τα επουρανια πιστευσετε
13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.
και ουδεισ αναβεβηκεν εισ τον ουρανον ει μη ο εκ του ουρανου καταβασ ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ο ων εν τω ουρανω
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up
και καθωσ μωσησ υψωσεν τον οφιν εν τη ερημω ουτωσ υψωθηναι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου
15 that every one who believeth in him may have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
ινα πασ ο πιστευων εισ αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
ουτωσ γαρ ηγαπησεν ο θεοσ τον κοσμον ωστε τον υιον αυτου τον μονογενη εδωκεν ινα πασ ο πιστευων εισ αυτον μη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
17 For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.
ου γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τον υιον αυτου εισ τον κοσμον ινα κρινη τον κοσμον αλλ ινα σωθη ο κοσμοσ δι αυτου
18 He that believeth in him is not condemned; he that believeth not hath already been condemned, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
ο πιστευων εισ αυτον ου κρινεται ο δε μη πιστευων ηδη κεκριται οτι μη πεπιστευκεν εισ το ονομα του μονογενουσ υιου του θεου
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil.
αυτη δε εστιν η κρισισ οτι το φωσ εληλυθεν εισ τον κοσμον και ηγαπησαν οι ανθρωποι μαλλον το σκοτοσ η το φωσ ην γαρ πονηρα αυτων τα εργα
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
πασ γαρ ο φαυλα πρασσων μισει το φωσ και ουκ ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα μη ελεγχθη τα εργα αυτου
21 But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
ο δε ποιων την αληθειαν ερχεται προσ το φωσ ινα φανερωθη αυτου τα εργα οτι εν θεω εστιν ειργασμενα
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
μετα ταυτα ηλθεν ο ιησουσ και οι μαθηται αυτου εισ την ιουδαιαν γην και εκει διετριβεν μετ αυτων και εβαπτιζεν
23 And John also was baptizing in AEnon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.
ην δε και ιωαννησ βαπτιζων εν αινων εγγυσ του σαλημ οτι υδατα πολλα ην εκει και παρεγινοντο και εβαπτιζοντο
24 For John was not yet thrown into prison.
ουπω γαρ ην βεβλημενοσ εισ την φυλακην ο ιωαννησ
25 Then there arose a question on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying.
εγενετο ουν ζητησισ εκ των μαθητων ιωαννου μετα ιουδαιου περι καθαρισμου
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, he baptizeth, and all men are going to him.
και ηλθον προσ τον ιωαννην και ειπον αυτω ραββι οσ ην μετα σου περαν του ιορδανου ω συ μεμαρτυρηκασ ιδε ουτοσ βαπτιζει και παντεσ ερχονται προσ αυτον
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven.
απεκριθη ιωαννησ και ειπεν ου δυναται ανθρωποσ λαμβανειν ουδεν εαν μη η δεδομενον αυτω εκ του ουρανου
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man.
αυτοι υμεισ μαρτυρειτε οτι ειπον ουκ ειμι εγω ο χριστοσ αλλ οτι απεσταλμενοσ ειμι εμπροσθεν εκεινου
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy then hath become full.
ο εχων την νυμφην νυμφιοσ εστιν ο δε φιλοσ του νυμφιου ο εστηκωσ και ακουων αυτου χαρα χαιρει δια την φωνην του νυμφιου αυτη ουν η χαρα η εμη πεπληρωται
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
εκεινον δει αυξανειν εμε δε ελαττουσθαι
31 He that cometh from above is above all. He that is from the earth is earthly, and speaketh earthly things; he that cometh from heaven
ο ανωθεν ερχομενοσ επανω παντων εστιν ο ων εκ τησ γησ εκ τησ γησ εστιν και εκ τησ γησ λαλει ο εκ του ουρανου ερχομενοσ επανω παντων εστιν
32 testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony.
και ο εωρακεν και ηκουσεν τουτο μαρτυρει και την μαρτυριαν αυτου ουδεισ λαμβανει
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set his seal that God is true.
ο λαβων αυτου την μαρτυριαν εσφραγισεν οτι ο θεοσ αληθησ εστιν
34 For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.
ον γαρ απεστειλεν ο θεοσ τα ρηματα του θεου λαλει ου γαρ εκ μετρου διδωσιν ο θεοσ το πνευμα
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
ο πατηρ αγαπα τον υιον και παντα δεδωκεν εν τη χειρι αυτου
36 He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life; and he that disobeyeth the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
ο πιστευων εισ τον υιον εχει ζωην αιωνιον ο δε απειθων τω υιω ουκ οψεται ζωην αλλ η οργη του θεου μενει επ αυτον (aiōnios g166)
