John 3
1 Now there was a man of the pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews:
There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, —ruler of the Jews.
2 who came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for none can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.
The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him—Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily verily I tell thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Nicodemus saith unto him—How, can a man be born, when he is, old? Can he, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, I tell thee of a truth, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jesus answered—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot 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 which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.
7 Do not wonder that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.
8 As the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not whence it cometh, or whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can these things be?
Nicodemus answered, and said unto him—How, can these things, come about?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things?
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
11 I assure thee, that we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; though ye receive not our testimony.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.
12 If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly ones?
If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
13 For no one hath ascended up into heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.
And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, —The Son of Man.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up, —
That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life: (aiōnios g166)
For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, —that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
17 for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved by Him.
For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, —because he hath not believed on 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.
And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, —and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.
20 For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds should be reproved.
For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;
21 But he that acts according to truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.
22 After these things came Jesus, and his disciples into the land of Judea: and He stayed with them there, and baptized.
After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.
23 And John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him and were baptized.
And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; —
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
25 Now there arose a dispute between some of the disciples of John, and the Jews, about purifying.
There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, —concerning purification.
26 And they came to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people come to Him.
And they came unto John, and said unto him—Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.
27 John answered and said, A man can take nothing upon him, unless it be given him from heaven.
John answered, and said—A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.
28 Ye your selves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but am sent before Him.
Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said—I, am not the Christ; but—I am sent before, That One.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete.
He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
That One, it behoveth to increase, —but, me, to decrease.
31 He, that cometh from above, is above all: he that is of the earth, is earthly, and talketh like one of the earth:
He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,
32 but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony.
What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness, —and, his witness, no one, receiveth: —
33 He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true:
He that hath received his witness, hath set seal—that, God, is, true.
34 for He, whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth the Spirit to Him not by measure.
For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all into his hand:
The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.
36 wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son, hath life age-abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life, —but, the anger of God, awaiteth him. (aiōnios g166)
