< John 3 >
1 There was now a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus name to him, a ruler of the Jews.
2 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 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 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 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 born of the flesh flesh is, and that born of the Spirit spirit is.
7 Not may do wonder that I said to you; It is necessary for you [all] to be born from above.
8 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 Answered Nicodemus and said to Him; How are able these things to be?
10 Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to him; You yourself are the teacher of Israel and these things not know?
11 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 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 [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 even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus to be lifted up it behooves the Son of Man,
15 so that everyone who is believing (in Him *N(k)O*) (not may perish but *K*) may have life eternal. (aiōnios )
16 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 )
17 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 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 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 Everyone for evil practicing hates the Light and not comes to the Light so that not may be exposed the works of him;
21 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 the disciples of Him into the Judean land, and there He was staying with them and was baptizing.
23 Was now also (*no*) John baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because waters many were there. and they were coming and were being baptized;
24 Not yet for were cast into the prison John.
25 Arose then a debate among the disciples of John with ([a certain] Jew *N(K)O*) about purification.
26 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 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 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 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 Him it behooves to increase, me myself however to decrease.
31 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 *k*) What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and the testimony of Him no [one] receives.
33 The [one] having received His testimony has set his seal that God true is.
34 He whom for sent God, the declarations of God speaks; not for by measure He gives (God *KO*) the Spirit.
35 The Father loves the Son and all things has given into the hand of Him.
36 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 )
