1 G1510.7.3 And there was G1161 G444 a man G1537 of G3588 the G* Pharisees, G* Nicodemus G3686 was the name G1473 to him, G758 a ruler G3588 of the G* Jews.

2 G3778 This one G2064 came G4314 to G3588 G* Jesus G3571 by night, G2532 and G2036 said G1473 to him, G4461 Rabbi, G1492 we know G3754 that G575 from G2316 God G2064 you have come G1320 as a teacher; G3762 for no one G1063 G3778 [³these G3588 G4592 ⁴signs G1410 ¹is able G4160 ²to do] G3739 which G1473 you G4160 do, G1437 unless G3361 G1510.3 God should be G3588 G2316 G3326 with G1473 him.

3 G611 Jesus responded G3588 G* G2532 and G2036 said G1473 to him, G281 Amen, G281 amen, G3004 I say G1473 to you, G1437 Unless G3361 G5100 one G1080 should be born G509 from above, G3756 he is not able G1410 G1492 to behold G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 G2316 of God.

4 G3004 [²says G4314 ³to G1473 ⁴him G3588 G* ¹Nicodemus], G4459 How G1410 is [²able G444 ¹a man] G1080 to be born G1088 being aged? G1510.6 G3361 Is he able G1410 G1519 [²into G3588 ³the G2836 ⁴belly G3588 G3384 ⁵of his mother G1473 G1208 ⁶a second time G1525 ¹to enter], G2532 and G1080 be born?

5 G611 Jesus answered, G3588 G* G281 Amen, G281 amen, G3004 I say G1473 to you, G1437 Unless G3361 G5100 one G1080 should be born G1537 of G5204 water G2532 and G4151 spirit, G3756 he is not able G1410 G1525 to enter G1519 into G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 G2316 of God.

6 G3588 The one G1080 being born G1537 of G3588 the G4561 flesh G4561 is flesh; G1510.2.3 G2532 and G3588 the one G1080 being born G1537 of G3588 the G4151 spirit G4151 is spirit. G1510.2.3

7 G3361 You should not wonder G2296 G3754 that G2036 I said G1473 to you, G1163 It is necessary G1473 for you G1080 to be born G509 from above.

8 G3588 The G4151 wind G3699 [²where G2309 ³it wants G4154 ¹blows], G2532 and G3588 G5456 its sound G1473 G191 you hear, G235 but G3756 you know not G1492 G4159 from what place G2064 it comes, G2532 and G4226 where G5217 it goes; G3779 so G1510.2.3 is G3956 every one G3588 G1080 being born G1537 of G3588 the G4151 spirit.

9 G611 Nicodemus answered G* G2532 and G2036 said G1473 to him, G4459 How G1410 is it possible G3778 for these things G1096 to be?

10 G611 Jesus answered G* G2532 and G2036 said G1473 to him, G1473 You G1510.2.2 are G3588 the G1320 teacher G3588 G* of Israel, G2532 and G3778 these things G3756 you know not? G1097

11 G281 Amen, G281 amen, G3004 I say G1473 to you G3754 that, G3739 What G1492 we know G2980 we speak, G2532 and G3739 what G3708 we have seen G3140 we witness; G2532 and G3588 G3141 our witness G1473 G3756 you do not receive. G2983

12 G1487 If G3588 the G1919 earthly things G2036 I told G1473 to you, G2532 and G3756 you do not G4100 believe, G4459 how then G1437 if G2036 I should speak G1473 to you G3588 the G2032 heavenly things, G4100 will you believe?

13 G2532 And G3762 no one G305 has ascended G1519 into G3588 the G3772 heaven, G1508 except G3588 the one G1537 from out of G3588 the G3772 heaven G2597 descending -- G3588 the G5207 son G3588 G444 of man, G3588 the one G1510.6 being G1722 in G3588 the G3772 heaven.

14 G2532 And G2531 as G* Moses G5312 raised up high G3588 the G3789 serpent G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness, G3779 so G5312 [⁵to be raised up high G1163 ¹is it necessary G3588 ²for the G5207 ³son G3588 G444 ⁴of man];

15 G2443 that G3956 every one G3588 G4100 believing G1519 in G1473 him G3361 should not G622 perish, G235 but G2192 have G2222 [²life G166 ¹eternal].

16 G3779 For thus G1063 G25 God loved G3588 G2316 G3588 the G2889 world, G5620 so that G3588 G5207 [⁴son G1473 ²his G3588 G3439 ³only born G1325 ¹he gave], G2443 that G3956 every one G3588 G4100 trusting G1519 in G1473 him, G3361 should not G622 perish, G235 but G2192 should have G2222 [²life G166 ¹eternal].

17 G3756 [³did not G1063 ¹For G649 ⁴send G3588 G2316 ²God] G3588 G5207 his son G1473 G1519 into G3588 the G2889 world G2443 that G2919 he should judge G3588 the G2889 world, G235 but G2443 that G4982 [³should be delivered G3588 ¹the G2889 ²world] G1223 by G1473 him.

18 G3588 The one G4100 trusting G1519 in G1473 him G3756 is not G2919 judged; G3588 but the one G1161 G3361 not G4100 trusting G2235 already G2919 has been judged, G3754 for G3361 he trusts not G4100 G1519 in G3588 the G3686 name G3588 of the G3439 only born G5207 son G3588 G2316 of God.

19 G3778 And this G1161 G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G2920 judgment -- G3754 that G3588 the G5457 light G2064 has come G1519 into G3588 the G2889 world, G2532 and G25 [²loved G3588 G444 ¹men] G3123 more G3588 the G4655 darkness G2228 than G3588 the G5457 light; G1510.7.3 [⁴ were G1063 ¹for G4190 ⁵evil G1473 ²their G3588 G2041 ³works].

20 G3956 For every one G1063 G3588 G5337 [²heedlessly G4238 ¹acting] G3404 detests G3588 the G5457 light, G2532 and G3756 does not G2064 come G4314 to G3588 the G5457 light, G2443 that G3361 [²should not G1651 ³be reproved G3588 G2041 ¹his works]. G1473

21 G3588 But the one G1161 G4160 observing G3588 the G225 truth G2064 comes G4314 to G3588 the G5457 light, G2443 that G5319 [³should be made manifest G1473 ¹his G3588 G2041 ²works], G3754 that G1722 in G2316 God G1510.2.3 they are G2038 working.

22 G3326 After G3778 these things G2064 Jesus came G3588 G* G2532 and G3588 G3101 his disciples G1473 G1519 unto G3588 the G* Judean G1093 land; G2532 and G1563 there G1304 he spent time G3326 with G1473 them G2532 and G907 was immersing.

23 G1510.7.3 [⁴was G1161 ¹And G2532 ²also G* ³John] G907 immersing G1722 in G* Aenon G1451 near G3588 G* Salim, G3754 for G5204 [³water G4183 ²much G1510.7.3 ¹there was] G1563 there; G2532 and G3854 they were arriving G2532 and G907 being immersed.

24 G3768 For not yet G1063 G1510.7.3 was G906 [²thrown G1519 ³into G3588 ⁴the G5438 ⁵prison G3588 G* ¹John].

25 G1096 Became G3767 then G2214 an inquiry G1537 from G3588 the G3101 disciples G* G* of John G3326 with G* the Jews G4012 concerning G2512 cleansing.

26 G2532 And G2064 they came G4314 to G3588 G* John, G2532 and G2036 they said G1473 to him, G4461 Rabbi, G3739 the one who G1510.7.3 was G3326 with G1473 you G4008 on the other side G3588 of the G* Jordan, G3739 in whom G1473 you G3140 witnessed -- G2396 See! G3778 this one G907 immerses G2532 and G3956 all G2064 come G4314 to G1473 him.

27 G611 John answered G* G2532 and G2036 said, G3756 [²is not G1410 ³able G444 ¹Man] G2983 to receive G3762 anything, G1437 unless G3361 G1510.3 it should be G1325 given G1473 to him G1537 from G3588 the G3772 heaven.

28 G1473 You yourselves G1473 G1473 witness to me G3140 G3754 that G2036 I said, G3756 [³not G1510.2.1 ²am G1473 ¹I] G3588 the G5547 Christ; G235 but G3754 that G649 I am one being sent G1510.2.1 G1715 before G1565 that one.

29 G3588 The one G2192 having G3588 the G3565 bride G3566 is the groom; G1510.2.3 G3588 and the G1161 G5384 friend G3588 of the G3566 groom, G3588 the one G2476 standing G2532 and G191 hearing G1473 him, G5479 with joy G5463 rejoices G1223 because of G3588 the G5456 voice G3588 of the G3566 groom. G3778 This G3767 then G3588 G5479 [²joy G3588 G1699 ¹my] G4137 is fulfilled.

30 G1565 That one G1163 must G837 grow, G1473 but me G1161 G1642 to lessen.

31 G3588 The one G509 [²from above G2064 ¹coming] G1883 [²above G3956 ³all G1510.2.3 ¹is]. G3588 The one G1510.6 being G1537 from G3588 the G1093 earth, G1537 [²of G3588 ³the G1093 ⁴earth G1510.2.3 ¹is], G2532 and G1537 of G3588 the G1093 earth G2980 he speaks. G3588 The one G1537 [²from G3588 ³the G3772 ⁴heaven G2064 ¹coming G1883 ⁶above G3956 ⁷all G1510.2.3 ⁵is],

32 G2532 and G3739 what G3708 he has seen G2532 and G191 heard, G3778 this one G3140 witnesses; G2532 and G3588 G3141 his witness G1473 G3762 no one G2983 receives.

33 G3588 The one G2983 receiving G1473 of his G3588 G3141 witness, G4972 set a seal G3754 that G3588 G2316 God G227 is true; G1510.2.3

34 G3739 for the one whom G1063 G649 God sent, G3588 G2316 G3588 [²the G4487 ³sayings G3588 G2316 ⁴of God G2980 ¹speaks]; G3756 for not G1063 G1537 by G3358 measure G1325 does [²give G3588 G2316 ¹God] G3588 the G4151 spirit.

35 G3588 The G3962 father G25 loves G3588 the G5207 son, G2532 and G3956 all things G1325 he has put G1722 in G3588 G5495 his hand. G1473

36 G3588 The one G4100 trusting G1519 in G3588 the G5207 son G2192 has G2222 [²life G166 ¹eternal]; G3588 but the one G1161 G544 resisting G3588 the G5207 son G3756 shall not see G3708 G3588 the G2222 life, G237.1 but G3588 the G3709 anger G3588 G2316 of God G3306 remains G1909 upon G1473 him.

1 G1161 And G2258 [G5713] there was G444 a man G1537 of G5330 the Pharisees, G3686 G846 named G3530 Nicodemus, G758 a ruler G2453 of the Judeans:

2 G3778 The same G2064 [G5627] came G4314 to G2424 Jesus G3571 by night, G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him, G4461 Rabbi, G1492 [G5758] we know G3754 that G2064 0 thou art G1320 a teacher G2064 [G5754] come G575 from G2316 God: G1063 for G3762 no man G1410 [G5736] can G4160 [G5721] do G5023 these G4592 signs G3739 that G4771 thou G4160 [G5719] doest, G3362 except G2316 God G5600 [G5753] be G3326 with G846 him.

3 G2424 Jesus G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him, G281 { Verily, G281 verily, G3004 [G5719] I say G4671 to thee, G3362 Except G5100 a man G1080 [G5686] be born G509 again, G1410 G3756 [G5736] he cannot G1492 [G5629] see G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.}

4 G3530 Nicodemus G3004 [G5719] saith G4314 to G846 him, G4459 How G1410 [G5736] can G444 a man G1080 [G5683] be born G5607 [G5752] when he is G1088 old? G3361 G1410 [G5736] can G1525 [G5629] he enter G1208 the second time G1519 into G846 his G3384 mother's G2836 womb, G2532 and G1080 [G5683] be born?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 [G5662] answered, G281 { Verily, G281 verily, G3004 [G5719] I say G4671 to thee, G3362 Except G5100 a man G1080 [G5686] be born G1537 of G5204 water G2532 and G4151 of the Spirit, G3756 G1410 [G5736] he cannot G1525 [G5629] enter G1519 into G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.}

6 G1080 [G5772] { That which is born G1537 of G4561 the flesh G2076 [G5748] is G4561 flesh; G2532 and G1080 [G5772] that which is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit G2076 [G5748] is G4151 spirit.}

7 G2296 [G5661] { Marvel G3361 not G3754 that G2036 [G5627] I said G4671 to thee, G5209 Ye G1163 [G5748] must G1080 [G5683] be born G509 again.}

8 G4151 { The wind G4154 [G5719] bloweth G3699 where G2309 [G5719] it will, G2532 and G191 [G5719] thou hearest G5456 the sound G846 of it, G235 but G1492 0 canst G3756 not G1492 [G5758] tell G4159 where G2064 [G5736] it cometh from, G2532 and G4226 where G5217 [G5719] it goeth: G3779 so G2076 [G5748] is G3956 every one G1080 [G5772] that is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit.}

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him, G4459 How G1410 [G5736] can G5023 these things G1096 [G5635] be?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him, G1488 [G5748] { Art G4771 thou G1320 a teacher G2474 of Israel, G2532 and G1097 [G5719] knowest G3756 not G5023 these things?}

11 G281 { Verily, G281 verily, G3004 [G5719] I say G4671 to thee, G2980 [G5719] We speak G3754 G3739 what G1492 [G5758] we know, G2532 and G3140 [G5719] testify G3739 what G3708 [G5758] we have seen; G2532 and G2983 [G5719] ye receive G3756 not G2257 our G3141 witness.}

12 G1487 { If G2036 [G5627] I have told G5213 you G1919 earthly things, G2532 and G4100 [G5719] ye believe G3756 not, G4459 how G4100 [G5692] shall ye believe, G1437 if G2036 [G5632] I tell G5213 you G2032 heavenly things?}

13 G2532 { And G3762 no man G305 [G5758] hath ascended G1519 to G3772 heaven, G1508 but G2597 [G5631] he that came down G1537 from G3772 heaven, G5207 even the Son G444 of man G3588 who G5607 [G5752] is G1722 in G3772 heaven.}

14 G2532 { And G2531 as G3475 Moses G5312 [G5656] lifted up G3789 the serpent G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G3779 even so G1163 [G5748] must G5207 the Son G444 of man G5312 [G5683] be lifted up:}

22 G3326 After G5023 these things G2064 [G5627] came G2424 Jesus G2532 and G846 his G3101 disciples G1519 into G1093 the land G2449 of Judaea; G2532 and G1563 there G1304 [G5707] he tarried G3326 with G846 them, G2532 and G907 [G5707] baptized.

23 G1161 And G2491 John G2532 also G2258 [G5713] was G907 [G5723] baptizing G1722 in G137 Aenon G1451 near G3588 G4530 to Salim, G3754 because G2258 [G5713] there were G4183 many G5204 waters G1563 there: G2532 and G3854 [G5708] they were coming, G2532 and G907 [G5712] being baptized.

24 G1063 For G2491 John G2258 [G5713] was G3768 not yet G906 [G5772] cast G1519 into G5438 prison.

25 G3767 Then G1096 [G5633] there arose G2214 a question G3326 between G1537 some of G2491 John's G3101 disciples G2453 and the Judeans G4012 about G2512 purifying.

26 G2532 And G2064 [G5627] they came G4314 to G2491 John, G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him, G4461 Rabbi, G3739 he G2258 [G5713] that was G3326 with G4675 thee G4008 beyond G2446 Jordan, G3739 to whom G4771 thou G3140 [G5758] barest witness, G2396 behold, G3778 the same G907 [G5719] baptizeth, G2532 and G3956 all G2064 [G5736] men come G4314 to G846 him.

27 G2491 John G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said, G444 A man G1410 G3756 [G5736] can G2983 [G5721] receive G3762 nothing, G3362 except G5600 [G5753] it be G1325 [G5772] given G846 him G1537 from G3772 heaven.

28 G5210 Ye G846 yourselves G3140 0 bear G3427 me G3140 [G5719] witness, G3754 that G2036 [G5627] I said, G1473 I G1510 [G5748] am G3756 not G5547 the Anointed, G235 but G3754 that G1510 [G5748] I am G649 [G5772] sent G1715 before G1565 him.

29 G2192 [G5723] He that hath G3565 the bride G2076 [G5748] is G3566 the bridegroom: G1161 but G5384 the friend G3566 of the bridegroom, G3588 who G2476 [G5761] standeth G2532 and G191 [G5723] heareth G846 him, G5463 [G5719] rejoiceth G5479 greatly G1223 because G3566 of the bridegroom's G5456 voice: G3778 this G1699 my G5479 joy G3767 therefore G4137 [G5769] is fulfilled.

30 G1565 He G1163 [G5748] must G837 [G5721] increase, G1161 but G1691 I G1642 [G5745] must decrease.

31 G2064 [G5740] He that cometh G509 from above G2076 [G5748] is G1883 above G3956 all: G5607 [G5752] he that is G1537 of G1093 the earth G2076 [G5748] is G1537 G1093 earthly, G2532 and G2980 [G5719] speaketh G1537 of G1093 the earth: G2064 [G5740] he that cometh G1537 from G3772 heaven G2076 [G5748] is G1883 above G3956 all.

32 G2532 And G3739 what G3708 [G5758] he hath seen G2532 and G191 [G5656] heard, G5124 that G3140 [G5719] he testifieth; G2532 and G3762 no man G2983 [G5719] receiveth G846 his G3141 testimony.

33 G2983 [G5631] He that hath received G846 his G3141 testimony G4972 [G5656] hath set to his seal G3754 that G2316 God G2076 [G5748] is G227 true.

34 G1063 For G3739 he whom G2316 God G649 [G5656] hath sent G2980 [G5719] speaketh G4487 the utterances G2316 of God: G1063 for G2316 to him God G1325 [G5719] giveth G3756 not G4151 the Spirit G1537 by G3358 measure.

35 G3962 The Father G25 [G5719] loveth G5207 the Son, G2532 and G1325 [G5758] hath given G3956 all things G1722 into G846 his G5495 hand.

36 G4100 [G5723] He that believeth G1519 on G5207 the Son G2192 [G5719] hath G166 age-during G2222 life: G1161 and G544 [G5723] he that believeth not G5207 the Son G3700 0 shall G3756 not G3700 [G5695] see G2222 life; G235 but G3709 the wrath G2316 of God G3306 [G5719] abideth G1909 on G846 him.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Farisees, Nychodeme bi name, a prince of the Jewis. ² And he cam to Jhesu bi niyt, and seide to hym, Rabi, we witen, that thou art comun fro God maister; for no man may do these signes, that thou doist, but God be with hym. ³ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen, he may not se the kyngdom of God. ⁴ Nychodeme seide to hym, Hou may a man be borun, whanne he is eeld? whether he may entre ayen in to his modris wombe, and be borun ayen? ⁵ Jhesus answeride, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen of watir, and of the Hooli Goost, he may not entre in to the kyngdom of God. ⁶ `That that is borun of the fleisch, is fleisch; and `that that is borun of spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Wondre thou not, for Y seide to thee, It bihoueth you to be borun ayen. ⁸ The spirit brethith where he wole, and thou herist his vois, but thou wost not, fro whennus he cometh, ne whidir he goith; so is ech man that is borun of the spirit. ⁹ Nychodeme answeride, and seide to hym, Hou moun these thingis be don? ¹⁰ Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art a maister in Israel, and knowist not these thingis? ¹¹ Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, for we speken that that we witen, and we witnessen that that we han seyn, and ye taken not oure witnessyng. ¹² If Y haue seid to you ertheli thingis, and ye bileuen not, hou if Y seie to you heueneli thingis, schulen ye bileue? ¹³ And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene. ¹⁴ And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid, ¹⁵ that ech man that bileueth in hym, perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. ¹⁶ For God louede so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. ¹⁷ For God sente not his sone in to the world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi him. ¹⁸ He that bileueth in hym, is not demed; but he that bileueth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun sone of God. ¹⁹ And this is the dom, for liyt cam in to the world, and men loueden more derknessis than liyt; for her werkes weren yuele. ²⁰ For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liyt; and he cometh not to the liyt, that hise werkis be not repreued. ²¹ But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liyt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God. ²² Aftir these thingis Jhesus cam, and hise disciplis, in to the loond of Judee, and there he dwellide with hem, and baptiside. ²³ And Joon was baptisinge in Ennon, bisidis Salym, for many watris weren there; and thei camen, and weren baptisid. ²⁴ And Joon was not yit sent in to prisoun. ²⁵ Therfor a questioun was maad of Jonys disciplis with the Jewis, of the purificacioun. ²⁶ And thei camen to Joon, and seiden `to hym, Maister, he that was with thee biyonde Jordan, to whom thou hast borun witnessyng, lo! he baptisith, and alle men comen to hym. ²⁷ Joon answerde, and seide, A man may not take ony thing, but it be youun to hym fro heuene. ²⁸ Ye you silf beren witnessyng to me, that Y seide, Y am not Crist, but that Y am sent bifore hym. ²⁹ He that hath a wijf, is the hosebonde; but the freend of the spouse that stondith, and herith hym, ioieth with ioye, for the vois of the spouse. Therfor in this thing my ioye is fulfillid. ³⁰ It bihoueth hym to wexe, but me to be maad lesse. ³¹ He that cam from aboue, is aboue alle; he that is of the erthe, spekith of the erthe; he that cometh from heuene, is aboue alle. ³² And he witnessith that thing that he hath seie, and herde, and no man takith his witnessing. ³³ But he that takith his witnessyng, hath confermyd that God is sothefast. ³⁴ But he whom God hath sent, spekith the wordis of God; for not to mesure God yyueth the spirit. ³⁵ The fadir loueth the sone, and he hath youun alle thingis in his hoond. ³⁶ He that bileueth in the sone, hath euerlastynge lijf; but he that is vnbileueful to the sone, schal not se euerlastynge lijf, but the wraththe of God dwellith on hym.

Tyndale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ther was a man of the pharises named Nicodemus a ruler amonge ye Iewes. ² The same cam to Iesus by nyght and sayde vnto him: Rabbi we knowe that thou arte a teacher whiche arte come from God. For no man coulde do suche miracles as thou doest except God were with him. ³ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe he cannot se the kyngdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe and be boren agayne? ⁵ Iesus answered: verely verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of ye sprete he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god. ⁶ That which is boren of the flesshe is flesshe: and that which is boren of the sprete is sprete. ⁷ Marvayle not that I sayd to the ye must be boren a newe. ⁸ The wynde bloweth where he listeth and thou hearest his sounde: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whether he goeth. So is every man that is boren of the sprete. ⁹ And Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto him: how can these thinges be? ¹⁰ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel and knowest not these thinges? ¹¹ Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes. ¹² Yf when I tell you erthely thinges ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges? ¹³ And no man ascendeth vp to heaven but he that came doune from heaven that is to saye the sonne of man which is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp ¹⁵ that none that beleveth in him perisshe: but have eternall lyfe. ¹⁶ For God so loveth the worlde yt he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condepne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that beleveth on him shall not be condepned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill. ²⁰ For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved. ²¹ But he that doth truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowen how that they are wrought in God. ²² After these thinges cam Iesus and his disciples into the Iewes londe and ther he haunted with them and baptised. ²³ And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim because ther was moche water there and they came and were baptised. ²⁴ For Iohn was not yet cast into preson. ²⁵ And ther arose a questio bitwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes about purifiynge. ²⁶ And they came vnto Iohn and sayde vnto him: Rabbi he that was with the beyonde Iordan to whom thou barest witnes. Beholde the same baptyseth and all me come to him. ²⁷ Iohn answered and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be geve him fro heaven. ²⁸ Ye youre selves are witnesses how that I sayde: I am not Christ but am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bryde is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome which stondeth by and heareth him reioyseth greately of the brydgromes voyce. Tis my ioye is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increace: and I muste decreace. ³¹ He that commeth from an hye is above all: He that is of ye erth is of the erth and speaketh of the erth. He that cometh from heaven is above all ³² and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifieth: but no man receaveth his testimonye. ³³ How be it he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the wordes of God. For God geveth not the sprete by measure. ³⁵ The father loveth the sonne and hath geven all thinges into his honde. ³⁶ He that beleveth on the sonne hath everlastynge lyfe: and he that beleveth not the sonne shall not se lyfe but the wrathe of God abydeth on him.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus a ruler amoge the Iewes. ² The same came vnto Iesus by night, & sayde vnto hi: Master, we knowe yt thou art come a teacher fro God: for no ma can do these tokes yt thou doest, excepte God be with him. ³ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: Excepte a man be borne a new, he can not se the kyngdome of God. ⁴ Nicodemus sayde vnto him: How can a man be borne, whan he is olde? Can he entre into his mothers wombe, and be borne agayne? ⁵ Iesus answered: Verely verely I saye vnto the: Excepte a ma be borne of water and of the sprete, he can not come in to ye kyngdome of God. ⁶ That which is borne of flesh, is flesh: & that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete. ⁷ Maruell not, that I sayde vnto ye: Ye must be borne of new. ⁸ The wynde bloweth where he wyl, and thou hearest his sounde: but thou canst not tell whece he commeth, and whither he goeth. So is euery one, that is borne of the sprete. ⁹ Nicodemus answered, and sayde vnto him: How maye these be? ¹⁰ Iesus answered, & sayde vnto hi: Art thou a Master in Israel, & knowest not these? ¹¹ Verely I saye vnto ye: We speake that we knowe, and testifie that we haue sene, and ye receaue not oure wytnesse. ¹² Yf ye beleue not whan I tell you of earthly thinges, how shulde ye beleue, wha I speake vnto you of heauenly thinges? ¹³ And no man ascendeth vp in to heauen, but he that is come downe from heaue, (namely) the sonne of man which is in heauen. ¹⁴ And like as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wyldernes, euen so must the sonne of man be lift vp, ¹⁵ that who so euer beleueth in him, shulde not perish, but haue euerlastinge life. ¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that he gaue his onely sonne, that who so euer beleueth in hi, shulde not perishe, but haue euerlastinge life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne in to ye worlde to condempne the worlde, but that the worlde might be saued by him. ¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, shal not be codemned. But he that beleueth not, is codemned allready: because he beleueth not on the name of the onely sonne of God. ¹⁹ But this is ye codempnacion, that the light is come in to the worlde, and men loued the darknesse more the ye light: for their workes were euell. ²⁰ Whosoeuer doth euell, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his dedes shulde not be reproued. ²¹ But he that doth the trueth, commeth to the light, that his workes maye be knowne: for they are done in God. ²² Afterwarde came Iesus & his disciples in to the lode of Iewry, and had his beynge there with them, and baptysed ²³ Ihon baptysed also in Enon besyde Salem: for there was moch water there. And they came thither, and were baptysed: ²⁴ for Iohn was not yet put in preson. ²⁵ Then arose there a question amonge the disciples of Ihon with the Iewes aboute the purifienge, ²⁶ and they came vnto Ihon, and sayde vnto him: Master, he yt was with the beyonde Iordan, of whom thou barest wytnesse, beholde, he baptyseth, and euery man cometh vnto him. ²⁷ Ihon answered and sayde: A man can receaue nothinge, excepte it be geuen him from heaue. ²⁸ Ye youreselues are my witnesses, how that I sayde, I am not Christ, but am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome: but the frende of the brydegrome stondeth, and herkeneth vnto him, and reioyseth greatly ouer the voyce of the brydegrome, this same ioye of myne is now fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increace, but I must decreace. ³¹ He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all. He that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth. He that commeth fro heauen, is aboue all, ³² and testifieth what he hath sene & herde, and no man receaueth his wytnesse. ³³ But he that receaueth it, hath set to his seale, that God is true. ³⁴ For he who God hath sent, speaketh ye wordes of God: for God geueth not the sprete (vnto him) by measure. ³⁵ The father loueth the sonne, and hath geuen him all thinges in to his hande. ³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlastinge life: he that beleueth not the sonne, shal not se the life, but ye wrath of God abydeth vpon him.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews. ² The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher which art come from God. For no man could do such miracles as thou doest, except God were with him." ³ Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus said unto him, "How can a man be born, when he is old? Can he enter into his mother's womb and be born again?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: Except that a man be born of water, and of the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to thee, ye must be born anew. ⁸ The wind bloweth where he listeth, and thou hearest his sound: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every man that is born of the spirit." ⁹ And Nicodemus answered and said unto him, "How can these things be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily I say unto thee, we speak that we know, and testify that we have seen: And ye receive not our witness. ¹² If, when I tell you earthly things, ye believe not: How should ye believe if I shall tell you of heavenly things? ¹³ And no man ascendeth up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, that is to say, the son of man which is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lift up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lift up, ¹⁵ that none that believeth in him perish: but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loveth the world, that he hath given his only son, for the intent that none that believe in him should perish: But should have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his son into the world, to condemn the world: But that the world, through him, might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him shall not be condemned. But he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he believeth not in the name of the only son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation: that light is come into the world, and the men have loved darkness more than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every man that evil doeth, hateth the light: neither cometh to light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds might be known, how that they are wrought in God." ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the Jews' land, and there he haunted with them and baptised, ²³ and John also baptised in Enon, besides Salim, because there was much water there, and they came, and were baptised. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ And there arose a question between John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. ²⁶ And they came unto John, and said unto him, "Rabbi, behold he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold the same baptiseth, and all men come to him." ²⁷ John answered, and said, "A man can receive nothing at all except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves are witnesses, how that I said, 'I am not Christ: but am sent before him.' ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: But the friend of the bridegroom which standeth by and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this, my joy, is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase: and I must decrease. ³¹ He that cometh from on high is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, is above all: ³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ Howbeit, he that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God. For God giveth not the spirit by measure. ³⁵ The father loveth the son, and hath given all things into his hand. 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."

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ther was a man of the Pharises named Nicodemus a ruler amonge the Iewes. ² The same came to Iesus by nyghte & sayed vnto him: Rabbi, we knowe that thou art a teacher whiche art come from God. For no man coulde do such miracles as thou doest, except God were wt him. ³ Iesus aunswered & said to him: verely verely, I said vnto the: except a man be borne a new, he can not se the kingdome of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said vnto him: how can a man be borne when he is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe and be borne againe? ⁵ Iesus aunswered: verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of the spyryte, he can not enter into the kyngdome of God. ⁶ That whyche is borne of the fleshe is fleshe: and that whiche is borne of the spyryte, is spyrite. ⁷ Marueyle not that I said to the, ye must be borne a newe. ⁸ The wynde bloweth wher it listeth: and thou hearest the sounde therof: but canst not tell whence it cometh and whyther it goeth: So is euery man that is borne of the spyryte. ⁹ And Nicodemus aunswered and said vnto him: how can these thinges be? ¹⁰ Iesus aunswered & said vnto him: art thou a maister in Israel, and knowest not these thinges? ¹¹ Verely, verely, I say vnto the we speake that we know and testify that we haue sene, & ye receiue not our witnes. ¹² Yf when I tel you earthly thinges ye beleue not: howe shoulde ye beleue if I shal tell you of heauenly thinges? ¹³ And no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that came doune from heauen, that is to say, the sonne of man which is in heauen. ¹⁴ And as Moyses lyfte vp the serpent in the wyldernes, euen so muste the sonne of man be lyft vp, ¹⁵ that none that beleueth in him perish, but haue eternall life. ¹⁶ For God so loueth the worlde, that he hath geuen his only sonne, that none that beleue in him, should perishe: but should haue euerlastinge lyfe. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the world, to condempne the worlde: but that the world through him, might be saued. ¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, shal not be condempned. But he that beleueth not is condempned allready, because he beleueth not in the name of the onlye sonne of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condempnacion, that light is come into the worlde, and the men loued darknes more then lyght, because their dedes were euyll. ²⁰ For euerye man that euyll doth, hateth the light: nether commeth to the lyghte: lest his dedes shoulde be reproued. ²¹ But he that doeth truth commeth to the light that hys dedes myght be knowen, how that they are wrought in God. ²² After these thinges came Iesus & his dysciples into the Iewes lande, and ther he haunted wyth them & baptised. ²³ And Iohn also baptysed in Enon besides Salim, because ther was much water there, & they came and were baptised. ²⁴ For Iohn was not yet cast into pryson. ²⁵ And ther arose a question betwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes aboute purifyinge. ²⁶ And they came vnto Iohn, and sayed vnto hym: Rabbie, he that was with the beyond Iordan, to whom thou bareste witnes, Beholde the same baptyseth, and al men come to him. ²⁷ Iohn aunswered, and sayed: a man can receiue nothing at al except it be geuen him from heauen. ²⁸ Ye youre selues are witnesses how that I saide: I am not Christ, but am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bryde is the brydegrome. But the frend of the brydegrom, whiche standeth by and heareth him reioyseth greatlye of the brydegromes voyce. Thys my ioye is fulfilled. ³⁰ He muste increace: and I muste decreace. ³¹ He that commeth from an hye is aboue al. He that is of the earth, is of the earth, & speaketh of the earth. He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all, ³² and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifyeth: but no man receiueth his testimony. ³³ Howbeit he that hath receiueth his testimony hath set to his seale that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the spirite by measure. ³⁵ The father loueth the sonne and hath geuen all thinges into his hand. ³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlasting life, and he that beleueth not the sonne shall not se life: but the wrath of God abydeth on him.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ther was a man of the Pharises named Nycodemus, a ruler of the Iewes. ² The same cam to Iesus by nyght, and sayde vnto him: Rabbi, we knowe that thou arte a teacher come from God: for no man coulde do suche myracles as thou doest, except God were wt him. ³ Iesus answered & sayd vnto him: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto the, except a man be borne from aboue, he cannot se the kyngdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus sayeth vnto hym how can a man be borne when he is olde? can he enter into hys mothers wombe and be borne agayne? ⁵ Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God, ⁶ That whych is borne of the flesshe, is flesshe, and that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete. ⁷ Maruayle not thou that I sayd to the, ye must be borne from aboue. ⁸ The wynde bloweth where it lysteth, & thou hearest the sounde therof but canst not tell whence it commeth & whether it goeth. So is euery one that is borne of the sprete. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto hym how can these thynges be? ¹⁰ Iesus answered & sayde vnto hym: art thou a master in Israel, & knowest not these thinges? ¹¹ Uerely, verely I saye vnto the: we speake that we do knowe, & testify that we haue sene: and ye receaue not oure wytnes. ¹² If I haue tolde you earthly thinges, and ye beleue not: how shall ye beleue, yf I tell you of heauenly thynges. ¹³ And no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that came doune from heauen, euen the sonne of man whych is in heauen: ¹⁴ And as Moses lyfte vp the serpent in the wyldernes, euen so must the sonne of man be lyfte vp, ¹⁵ that whosoeuer beleueth in him, perysshe not, but haue eternall lyfe. ¹⁶ For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde but that the world through him myght be saued. ¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, is not condemned. But he that beleueth not, is condemned all ready, because he hath not beleued in the name of the onely begotten sonne of God, ¹⁹ And thys is the condemnacion: that lyght is come into the world, and men loued darcknes more then light, because their dedes were euyll. ²⁰ For euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: nether commeth to the lyght, lest his dedes shuld be reproued. ²¹ But he that doth trueth, commeth to the lyght, that hys dedes maye be knowen, how that they are wrought in God. ²² After these thinges cam Iesus & his disciples into the land of Iewry & ther he taried with them. and baptysed, ²³ And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim, because ther was moch water there, & they came & were baptised. ²⁴ For Iohn was not yet cast into preson. ²⁵ And ther arose a question betwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, aboute purifyinge. ²⁶ And they came vnto Iohn, & sayde vnto him: Rabbi, he that was wyth the beyonde Iordan (to whom thou barest wytnes) beholde the same baptiseth & all men come to hym. ²⁷ Iohn answered, & sayde: a man can receaue nothinge, except it be geuen him from heauen. ²⁸ Ye youre selues are witnesses how that I sayd: I am not Christ, but am sent before him: ²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome, whych standeth and heareth hym, reioyseth greatly because of the brydegromes voyce.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes. ² This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him. ³ Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God. ⁴ Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne? ⁵ Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God. ⁶ That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe. ⁸ The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be? ¹⁰ Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse. ¹² If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things? ¹³ For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen. ¹⁴ And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp, ¹⁵ That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. ¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued. ¹⁸ Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill. ²⁰ For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued. ²¹ But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God. ²² After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized. ²³ And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For Iohn was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying. ²⁶ And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen. ²⁸ Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all. ³² And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie. ³³ He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true. ³⁴ For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande. ³⁶ Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith to 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 again? ⁵ Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, 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. ⁷ Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again. ⁸ The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be done? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Amen, amen, I say to thee that we speak what we know and we testify what we have seen: and you receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not: how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things? ¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. ¹⁸ He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved. ²¹ But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God. ²² After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim: because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews, concerning purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony: behold, he baptizeth and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves do bear me witness that I said that I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase: but I must decrease. ³¹ He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him.

2 G3778 The same G2064 came [G5627] G4314 to G2424 Jesus G3571 by night G2532 , and G2036 said [G5627] G846 unto him G4461 , Rabbi G1492 , we know [G5758] G3754 that G2064 thou art G1320 a teacher G2064 come [G5754] G575 from G2316 God G1063 : for G3762 no man G1410 can [G5736] G4160 do [G5721] G5023 these G4592 miracles G3739 that G4771 thou G4160 doest [G5719] G3362 , except G2316 God G5600 be [G5753] G3326 with G846 him.

3 G2424 Jesus G611 answered [G5662] G2532 and G2036 said [G5627] G846 unto him G281 , Verily G281 , verily G3004 , I say [G5719] G4671 unto thee G3362 , Except G5100 a man G1080 be born [G5686] G509 again G1410 , he cannot [G5736] G3756 G1492 see [G5629] G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.

4 G3530 Nicodemus G3004 saith [G5719] G4314 unto G846 him G4459 , How G1410 can [G5736] G444 a man G1080 be born [G5683] G5607 when he is [G5752] G1088 old G3361 ? can G1410 [G5736] G1525 he enter [G5629] G1208 the second time G1519 into G846 his G3384 mother's G2836 womb G2532 , and G1080 be born [G5683] ?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 answered [G5662] G281 , Verily G281 , verily G3004 , I say [G5719] G4671 unto thee G3362 , Except G5100 a man G1080 be born [G5686] G1537 of G5204 water G2532 and G4151 of the Spirit G3756 , he cannot G1410 [G5736] G1525 enter [G5629] G1519 into G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.

6 G1080 That which is born [G5772] G1537 of G4561 the flesh G2076 is [G5748] G4561 flesh G2532 ; and G1080 that which is born [G5772] G1537 of G4151 the Spirit G2076 is [G5748] G4151 spirit.

7 G2296 Marvel [G5661] G3361 not G3754 that G2036 I said [G5627] G4671 unto thee G5209 , Ye G1163 must [G5748] G1080 be born [G5683] G509 again.

8 G4151 The wind G4154 bloweth [G5719] G3699 where G2309 it listeth [G5719] G2532 , and G191 thou hearest [G5719] G5456 the sound G846 thereof G235 , but G1492 canst G3756 not G1492 tell [G5758] G4159 whence G2064 it cometh [G5736] G2532 , and G4226 whither G5217 it goeth [G5719] G3779 : so G2076 is [G5748] G3956 every one G1080 that is born [G5772] G1537 of G4151 the Spirit.

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 answered [G5662] G2532 and G2036 said [G5627] G846 unto him G4459 , How G1410 can [G5736] G5023 these things G1096 be [G5635] ?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 answered [G5662] G2532 and G2036 said [G5627] G846 unto him G1488 , Art [G5748] G4771 thou G1320 a master G2474 of Israel G2532 , and G1097 knowest [G5719] G3756 not G5023 these things?

11 G281 Verily G281 , verily G3004 , I say [G5719] G4671 unto thee G2980 , We speak [G5719] G3754 that G3739 G1492 we do know [G5758] G2532 , and G3140 testify [G5719] G3739 that G3708 we have seen [G5758] G2532 ; and G2983 ye receive [G5719] G3756 not G2257 our G3141 witness.

12 G1487 If G2036 I have told [G5627] G5213 you G1919 earthly things G2532 , and G4100 ye believe [G5719] G3756 not G4459 , how G4100 shall ye believe [G5692] G1437 , if G2036 I tell [G5632] G5213 you G2032 of heavenly things?

13 G2532 And G3762 no man G305 hath ascended up [G5758] G1519 to G3772 heaven G1508 , but G2597 he that came down [G5631] G1537 from G3772 heaven G5207 , even the Son G444 of man G3588 which G5607 is [G5752] G1722 in G3772 heaven.

14 G2532 And G2531 as G3475 Moses G5312 lifted up [G5656] G3789 the serpent G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G3779 , even so G1163 must [G5748] G5207 the Son G444 of man G5312 be lifted up [G5683] :

15 G3363 That G3956 whosoever G4100 believeth [G5723] G1519 in G846 him G622 should G3363 not G622 perish [G5643] G235 , but G2192 have [G5725] G166 eternal G2222 life.

16 G1063 For G2316 God G3779 so G25 loved [G5656] G2889 the world G5620 , that G1325 he gave [G5656] G846 his G3439 only begotten G5207 Son G2443 , that G3956 whosoever G4100 believeth [G5723] G1519 in G846 him G622 should G3361 not G622 perish [G5643] G235 , but G2192 have [G5725] G166 everlasting G2222 life.

17 G1063 For G2316 God G649 sent [G5656] G3756 not G846 his G5207 Son G1519 into G2889 the world G2443 to G2919 condemn [G5725] G2889 the world G235 ; but G2443 that G2889 the world G1223 through G846 him G4982 might be saved [G5686] .

18 G4100 He that believeth [G5723] G1519 on G846 him G2919 is G3756 not G2919 condemned [G5743] G1161 : but G4100 he that believeth [G5723] G3361 not G2919 is condemned [G5769] G2235 already G3754 , because G4100 he hath G3361 not G4100 believed [G5758] G1519 in G3686 the name G3439 of the only begotten G5207 Son G2316 of God.

19 G1161 And G3778 this G2076 is [G5748] G2920 the condemnation G3754 , that G5457 light G2064 is come [G5754] G1519 into G2889 the world G2532 , and G444 men G25 loved [G5656] G4655 darkness G3123 rather G2228 than G5457 light G1063 , because G846 their G2041 deeds G2258 were [G5713] G4190 evil.

20 G1063 For G3956 every one G4238 that doeth [G5723] G5337 evil G3404 hateth [G5719] G5457 the light G2532 , neither G3756 G2064 cometh [G5736] G4314 to G5457 the light G3363 , lest G846 his G2041 deeds G1651 should be reproved [G5686] .

21 G1161 But G4160 he that doeth [G5723] G225 truth G2064 cometh [G5736] G4314 to G5457 the light G2443 , that G846 his G2041 deeds G5319 may be made manifest [G5686] G3754 , that G2076 they are [G5748] G2038 wrought [G5772] G1722 in G2316 God.

22 G3326 After G5023 these things G2064 came [G5627] G2424 Jesus G2532 and G846 his G3101 disciples G1519 into G1093 the land G2449 of Judaea G2532 ; and G1563 there G1304 he tarried [G5707] G3326 with G846 them G2532 , and G907 baptized [G5707] .

23 G1161 And G2491 John G2532 also G2258 was [G5713] G907 baptizing [G5723] G1722 in G137 Aenon G1451 near G4530 to Salim G3754 , because G2258 there was [G5713] G4183 much G5204 water G1563 there G2532 : and G3854 they came [G5708] G2532 , and G907 were baptized [G5712] .

24 G1063 For G2491 John G2258 was [G5713] G3768 not yet G906 cast [G5772] G1519 into G5438 prison.

25 G3767 Then G1096 there arose [G5633] G2214 a question G3326 between G1537 some of G2491 John's G3101 disciples G2453 and the Jews G4012 about G2512 purifying.

26 G2532 And G2064 they came [G5627] G4314 unto G2491 John G2532 , and G2036 said [G5627] G846 unto him G4461 , Rabbi G3739 , he G2258 that was [G5713] G3326 with G4675 thee G4008 beyond G2446 Jordan G3739 , to whom G4771 thou G3140 barest witness [G5758] G2396 , behold G3778 , the same G907 baptizeth [G5719] G2532 , and G3956 all G2064 men come [G5736] G4314 to G846 him.

27 G2491 John G611 answered [G5662] G2532 and G2036 said [G5627] G444 , A man G1410 can [G5736] G3756 G2983 receive [G5721] G3762 nothing G3362 , except G5600 it be [G5753] G1325 given [G5772] G846 him G1537 from G3772 heaven.

28 G5210 Ye G846 yourselves G3140 bear G3427 me G3140 witness [G5719] G3754 , that G2036 I said [G5627] G1473 , I G1510 am [G5748] G3756 not G5547 the Christ G235 , but G3754 that G1510 I am [G5748] G649 sent [G5772] G1715 before G1565 him.

29 G2192 He that hath [G5723] G3565 the bride G2076 is [G5748] G3566 the bridegroom G1161 : but G5384 the friend G3566 of the bridegroom G3588 , which G2476 standeth [G5761] G2532 and G191 heareth [G5723] G846 him G5463 , rejoiceth [G5719] G5479 greatly G1223 because G3566 of the bridegroom's G5456 voice G3778 : this G1699 my G5479 joy G3767 therefore G4137 is fulfilled [G5769] .

30 G1565 He G1163 must [G5748] G837 increase [G5721] G1161 , but G1691 I G1642 must decrease [G5745] .

31 G2064 He that cometh [G5740] G509 from above G2076 is [G5748] G1883 above G3956 all G5607 : he that is [G5752] G1537 of G1093 the earth G2076 is [G5748] G1537 earthly G1093 G2532 , and G2980 speaketh [G5719] G1537 of G1093 the earth G2064 : he that cometh [G5740] G1537 from G3772 heaven G2076 is [G5748] G1883 above G3956 all.

32 G2532 And G3739 what G3708 he hath seen [G5758] G2532 and G191 heard [G5656] G5124 , that G3140 he testifieth [G5719] G2532 ; and G3762 no man G2983 receiveth [G5719] G846 his G3141 testimony.

33 G2983 He that hath received [G5631] G846 his G3141 testimony G4972 hath set to his seal [G5656] G3754 that G2316 God G2076 is [G5748] G227 true.

34 G1063 For G3739 he whom G2316 God G649 hath sent [G5656] G2980 speaketh [G5719] G4487 the words G2316 of God G1063 : for G2316 God G1325 giveth [G5719] G3756 not G4151 the Spirit G1537 by G3358 measure unto him .

35 G3962 The Father G25 loveth [G5719] G5207 the Son G2532 , and G1325 hath given [G5758] G3956 all things G1722 into G846 his G5495 hand.

36 G4100 He that believeth [G5723] G1519 on G5207 the Son G2192 hath [G5719] G166 everlasting G2222 life G1161 : and G544 he that believeth not [G5723] G5207 the Son G3700 shall G3756 not G3700 see [G5695] G2222 life G235 ; but G3709 the wrath G2316 of God G3306 abideth [G5719] G1909 on G846 him.

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, a ruler of the Jews: ² who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God: for no man can perform the miracles that you do, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered him, I declare unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus replied, how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter into his mother, and be born a second time? ⁵ Jesus answered, I tell thee, except a man be renewed by the spiritual baptism, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ the cleansing of the body is only external, but the purification of the spirit is spiritual. ⁷ be not surprized that I said to thee, you must be born again. ⁸ the wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes, or whither it goes: such is the change in every one that is renewed by the spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered, how can that be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered him, are you a doctor in Israel, and not know these things? ¹¹ I declare unto thee, we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. ¹² if you don't believe when I tell you what is plain, how should you believe, if I tell you of things more sublime? ¹³ for no man hath penetrated into the secrets of heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ but as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ he that believeth on him, shall not be condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the only begotten son of God. ¹⁹ and this is the subject of their condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ for every one that doth evil, hateth the light, and shunneth the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ but he that doth right, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, because they are agreeable to the will of God. ²² After this Jesus went with his disciples into Judea, where he stay'd with them for some time, ²³ and baptized, while John was likewise baptizing in Enon, near Salim, it being a place abounding with water: so that people came to be baptized there. ²⁴ for John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Now there happen'd to be a dispute about baptism between a Jews, and some of John's disciples: ²⁶ who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him. ²⁷ but John made them this answer, a man can have no authority, but what he derives from heaven. ²⁸ you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him: ²⁹ the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat. ³⁰ he must advance, ³¹ but I must decline. he that cometh from above, is above all: he that is from the earth, is earthly, and his language is likewise earthly: he that cometh from heaven is above all. ³² and what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; but his testimony doth no man receive. ³³ he that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true. ³⁴ for he whom God hath sent, saith nothing but what is divine: for God hath given him the spirit without restriction. ³⁵ the father loveth the son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ he that believeth on the son, hath a right to everlasting life: and he that disobeys the son, shall not enjoy life; but be expos'd to divine wrath.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, his name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ² He came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God : for no one can do these miracles that thou dost except God were with him. ³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily verily say unto thee, Except any one be born (born again, Vulg.), 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 the second time into his mothers womb, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Holy Spirit, be 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be must be born from above (born again, Vulg.), ⁸ The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, or whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him; How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily verily I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testifie that we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I shall tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ That every one who believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God hath so loved the world, that he hath given his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth on him, should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son unto the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him shall not be judged: but he that believeth not, is judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgement, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doth evil things hateth the light, lest his deeds should be reproved by the light. ²¹ But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea, and there he tarried with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Enon, near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison; ²⁵ Now there arose a question between [some] of Johns disciples and the Jews, about purifying. ²⁶ And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou bearest witness, behold, He baptizeth, and all come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven, ²⁸ Ye your selves bear me witness, that I said, I [am] not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoyceth greatly because of the bridegrooms voice, this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must be diminished. ³¹ -- ³² But he that cometh from above, is above all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, testifyeth, what he hath seen and heard, and no one receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal, that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth [him] not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ That he who believeth on the Son, may have eternal life: But he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² The same came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know, that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith to 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it lifteth, and thou hearest the found thereof, but canst not tell, whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily I say to thee, we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; yet ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how would ye believe, if I told you heavenly things? ¹³ For no one hath gone up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ That whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved thro' him. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him, is not condemned; but he that believeth not, is condemned already, 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. ²⁰ For every one that doth evil, hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that practiseth the truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God. ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea, and there he tarried with them and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Enon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him. 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 therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. He that cometh from above is above all: ³¹ he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: yet no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal, that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God giveth not him the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: but he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler among 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. 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. 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? 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. ⁶ That, which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that, which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Do not wonder that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 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. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things? ¹¹ I assure thee, that we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; though ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly ones? 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. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that whosoever believeth on Him may not perish, but have eternal life. 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: ¹⁷ for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved by 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. 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. ²⁰ For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds 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. ²² After these things came Jesus, and his disciples into the land of Judea: and He stayed with them there, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Now there arose a dispute between some of the disciples of John, and the Jews, about purifying. 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. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can take nothing upon him, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye your selves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but am sent before Him. 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. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must 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: 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. ³³ He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, 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. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all 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.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ NOW there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ² this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, 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? ⁵ Jesus replied, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but knowest not from whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth: just so is every one who is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verity, I tell thee, That what we know we speak, and what we have seen we affirm; and ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you of earthly things, and ye believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? ¹³ Though no man hath ascended into heaven, except he that descended from heaven, that Son of man the I am in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction. ²¹ But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God. ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; and there he abode with them, and baptised. ²³ Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised. ²⁴ For as yet John was not cast into prison. ²⁵ Then a dispute arose between the disciples of John and the Jews with regard to purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must grow great, but I diminutive. ³¹ He that cometh from above is above all: he whose origin is from earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: he who cometh from heaven is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ there being a man of the sect of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; ² when this man came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, We know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do the miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him, ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot discern the reign of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith to 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say to thee, unless a man be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Wonder not at my telling thee, You must be born again. ⁸ That blast of wind bloweth where it pleaseth, and thou hearest the sound of it, but dost not know whence it cometh and whither it goeth. So is every one who is born of the spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ In reply to which, Jesus said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe; how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ No one indeed hath ascended up into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, namely, the son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ But as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that whosoever believeth in him may not perish; but have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world may be saved by him. ¹⁸ He who believeth in him will not be condemned; but he who believeth not, is condemned already; because he hath not 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 more than light, because their works were evil. ²⁰ For whosoever doeth evil hateth the light, and doth not come to the light, that his deeds may not be detected. ²¹ But he who practiseth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be open to view, because they are the operations of God." ²² After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the country of Judea, and spent some time with them there, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing at Enon, near Saleim, because there was much water there, and people used to come there and be baptized; ²⁴ for John was not yet thrown into prison. ²⁵ There was therefore a dispute between some of the disciples of John, and the Jews, respecting purification, ²⁶ and they went to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee on the bank of the Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony, behold he is baptizing, and all are flocking to him. ²⁷ In reply to which, John said, A man can receive nothing from heaven, unless it be given him. ²⁸ You yourselves are witnesses for me that I said, "I am not the Christ; but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He is the bridegroom, who hath the bride. But the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth exceedingly on the account of the bridegroom's voice. This joy of mine therefore, is complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ The one coming from above, is above all. He who is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth. The one coming from heaven is above all, ³² and what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth, yet none receiveth his testimony. ³³ He who hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, That God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God giveth him not the spirit by measure. ³⁵ The father loveth the son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He who believeth in the son, hath an everlasting life; but he who disbelieveth the son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God will abide on him.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ² The same came to Jesus by night, and said to 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. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith to 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born of water, and of the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved. 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. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Enon, near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 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 therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must 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. ³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for to him God giveth not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 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.

1 G1161 G2258 [G5713] There was G444 a man G1537 of G5330 the Pharisees G3686 G846 , named G3530 Nicodemus G758 , a ruler G2453 of the Jews:

2 G3778 The same G2064 [G5627] came G4314 to G2424 Jesus G3571 by night G2532 , and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him G4461 , Rabbi G1492 [G5758] , we know G3754 that G2064 0 thou art G1320 a teacher G2064 [G5754] come G575 from G2316 God G1063 : for G3762 no man G1410 [G5736] can G4160 [G5721] do G5023 these G4592 miracles G3739 that G4771 thou G4160 [G5719] doest G3362 , except G2316 God G5600 [G5753] be G3326 with G846 him.

3 G2424 Jesus G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him G281 , { Verily G281 , verily G3004 [G5719] , I say G4671 to thee G3362 , Except G5100 a man G1080 [G5686] be born G509 again G1410 G3756 [G5736] , he cannot G1492 [G5629] see G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.}

4 G3530 Nicodemus G3004 [G5719] saith G4314 to G846 him G4459 , How G1410 [G5736] can G444 a man G1080 [G5683] be born G5607 [G5752] when he is G1088 old G3361 G1410 [G5736] ? can G1525 [G5629] he enter G1208 the second time G1519 into G846 his G3384 mother's G2836 womb G2532 , and G1080 [G5683] be born?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 [G5662] answered G281 , { Verily G281 , verily G3004 [G5719] , I say G4671 to thee G3362 , Except G5100 a man G1080 [G5686] be born G1537 of G5204 water G2532 and G4151 of the Spirit G3756 G1410 [G5736] , he cannot G1525 [G5629] enter G1519 into G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.}

6 G1080 [G5772] { That which is born G1537 of G4561 the flesh G2076 [G5748] is G4561 flesh G2532 ; and G1080 [G5772] that which is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit G2076 [G5748] is G4151 spirit.}

7 G2296 [G5661] { Marvel G3361 not G3754 that G2036 [G5627] I said G4671 to thee G5209 , Ye G1163 [G5748] must G1080 [G5683] be born G509 again.}

8 G4151 { The wind G4154 [G5719] bloweth G3699 where G2309 [G5719] it will G2532 , and G191 [G5719] thou hearest G5456 the sound G846 of it G235 , but G1492 0 canst G3756 not G1492 [G5758] tell G4159 where G2064 [G5736] it cometh from G2532 , and G4226 where G5217 [G5719] it goeth G3779 : so G2076 [G5748] is G3956 every one G1080 [G5772] that is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit.}

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him G4459 , How G1410 [G5736] can G5023 these things G1096 [G5635] be?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him G1488 [G5748] , { Art G4771 thou G1320 a teacher G2474 of Israel G2532 , and G1097 [G5719] knowest G3756 not G5023 these things?}

11 G281 { Verily G281 , verily G3004 [G5719] , I say G4671 to thee G2980 [G5719] , We speak G3754 G3739 what G1492 [G5758] we know G2532 , and G3140 [G5719] testify G3739 what G3708 [G5758] we have seen G2532 ; and G2983 [G5719] ye receive G3756 not G2257 our G3141 witness.}

12 G1487 { If G2036 [G5627] I have told G5213 you G1919 earthly things G2532 , and G4100 [G5719] ye believe G3756 not G4459 , how G4100 [G5692] shall ye believe G1437 , if G2036 [G5632] I tell G5213 you G2032 heavenly things?}

13 G2532 { And G3762 no man G305 [G5758] hath ascended G1519 to G3772 heaven G1508 , but G2597 [G5631] he that came down G1537 from G3772 heaven G5207 , even the Son G444 of man G3588 who G5607 [G5752] is G1722 in G3772 heaven.}

14 G2532 { And G2531 as G3475 Moses G5312 [G5656] lifted up G3789 the serpent G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G3779 , even so G1163 [G5748] must G5207 the Son G444 of man G5312 [G5683] be lifted up:}

15 G3363 0 { That G3956 whoever G4100 [G5723] believeth G1519 in G846 him G622 0 should G3363 not G622 [G5643] perish G235 , but G2192 [G5725] have G166 eternal G2222 life.}

16 G1063 { For G2316 God G3779 so G25 [G5656] loved G2889 the world G5620 , that G1325 [G5656] he gave G846 his G3439 only begotten G5207 Son G2443 , that G3956 whoever G4100 [G5723] believeth G1519 in G846 him G622 0 should G3361 not G622 [G5643] perish G235 , but G2192 [G5725] have G166 everlasting G2222 life.}

17 G1063 { For G2316 God G649 [G5656] sent G3756 not G846 his G5207 Son G1519 into G2889 the world G2443 to G2919 [G5725] condemn G2889 the world G235 ; but G2443 that G2889 the world G1223 through G846 him G4982 [G5686] may be saved.}

18 G4100 [G5723] { He that believeth G1519 on G846 him G2919 0 is G3756 not G2919 [G5743] condemned G1161 : but G4100 [G5723] he that believeth G3361 not G2919 [G5769] is condemned G2235 already G3754 , because G4100 0 he hath G3361 not G4100 [G5758] believed G1519 in G3686 the name G3439 of the only begotten G5207 Son G2316 of God.}

19 G1161 { And G3778 this G2076 [G5748] is G2920 the condemnation G3754 , that G5457 light G2064 [G5754] is come G1519 into G2889 the world G2532 , and G444 men G25 [G5656] have loved G4655 darkness G3123 rather G2228 than G5457 light G1063 , because G846 their G2041 deeds G2258 [G5713] were G4190 evil.}

20 G1063 { For G3956 every one G4238 [G5723] that doeth G5337 evil G3404 [G5719] hateth G5457 the light G2532 G3756 , neither G2064 [G5736] cometh G4314 to G5457 the light G3363 , lest G846 his G2041 deeds G1651 [G5686] should be reproved.}

21 G1161 { But G4160 [G5723] he that doeth G225 truth G2064 [G5736] cometh G4314 to G5457 the light G2443 , that G846 his G2041 deeds G5319 [G5686] may be made manifest G3754 , that G2076 [G5748] they are G2038 [G5772] wrought G1722 in G2316 God.}

22 G3326 After G5023 these things G2064 [G5627] came G2424 Jesus G2532 and G846 his G3101 disciples G1519 into G1093 the land G2449 of Judaea G2532 ; and G1563 there G1304 [G5707] he tarried G3326 with G846 them G2532 , and G907 [G5707] baptized.

23 G1161 And G2491 John G2532 also G2258 [G5713] was G907 [G5723] baptizing G1722 in G137 Aenon G1451 near G4530 to Salim G3754 , because G2258 [G5713] there was G4183 much G5204 water G1563 there G2532 : and G3854 [G5708] they came G2532 , and G907 [G5712] were baptized.

24 G1063 For G2491 John G2258 [G5713] was G3768 not yet G906 [G5772] cast G1519 into G5438 prison.

25 G3767 Then G1096 [G5633] there arose G2214 a question G3326 between G1537 some of G2491 John's G3101 disciples G2453 and the Jews G4012 about G2512 purifying.

26 G2532 And G2064 [G5627] they came G4314 to G2491 John G2532 , and G2036 [G5627] said G846 to him G4461 , Rabbi G3739 , he G2258 [G5713] that was G3326 with G4675 thee G4008 beyond G2446 Jordan G3739 , to whom G4771 thou G3140 [G5758] barest witness G2396 , behold G3778 , the same G907 [G5719] baptizeth G2532 , and G3956 all G2064 [G5736] men come G4314 to G846 him.

27 G2491 John G611 [G5662] answered G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G444 , A man G1410 G3756 [G5736] can G2983 [G5721] receive G3762 nothing G3362 , except G5600 [G5753] it be G1325 [G5772] given G846 him G1537 from G3772 heaven.

28 G5210 Ye G846 yourselves G3140 0 bear G3427 me G3140 [G5719] witness G3754 , that G2036 [G5627] I said G1473 , I G1510 [G5748] am G3756 not G5547 the Christ G235 , but G3754 that G1510 [G5748] I am G649 [G5772] sent G1715 before G1565 him.

29 G2192 [G5723] He that hath G3565 the bride G2076 [G5748] is G3566 the bridegroom G1161 : but G5384 the friend G3566 of the bridegroom G3588 , who G2476 [G5761] standeth G2532 and G191 [G5723] heareth G846 him G5463 [G5719] , rejoiceth G5479 greatly G1223 because G3566 of the bridegroom's G5456 voice G3778 : this G1699 my G5479 joy G3767 therefore G4137 [G5769] is fulfilled.

30 G1565 He G1163 [G5748] must G837 [G5721] increase G1161 , but G1691 I G1642 [G5745] must decrease.

31 G2064 [G5740] He that cometh G509 from above G2076 [G5748] is G1883 above G3956 all G5607 [G5752] : he that is G1537 of G1093 the earth G2076 [G5748] is G1537 G1093 earthly G2532 , and G2980 [G5719] speaketh G1537 of G1093 the earth G2064 [G5740] : he that cometh G1537 from G3772 heaven G2076 [G5748] is G1883 above G3956 all.

32 G2532 And G3739 what G3708 [G5758] he hath seen G2532 and G191 [G5656] heard G5124 , that G3140 [G5719] he testifieth G2532 ; and G3762 no man G2983 [G5719] receiveth G846 his G3141 testimony.

33 G2983 [G5631] He that hath received G846 his G3141 testimony G4972 [G5656] hath set to his seal G3754 that G2316 God G2076 [G5748] is G227 true.

34 G1063 For G3739 he whom G2316 God G649 [G5656] hath sent G2980 [G5719] speaketh G4487 the words G2316 of God G1063 : for G2316 to him God G1325 [G5719] giveth G3756 not G4151 the Spirit G1537 by G3358 measure.

35 G3962 The Father G25 [G5719] loveth G5207 the Son G2532 , and G1325 [G5758] hath given G3956 all things G1722 into G846 his G5495 hand.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a Pharisee called Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, ² who came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles which you do, unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answering, said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not discern the Reign of God. ⁴ Nicodemus replied, How can a grown man be born? Can he enter his mother's womb anew, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born of water and Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. ⁷ Wonder not, then, that I have said to you, You must be born again. ⁸ The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear the report of him, but know not whence he comes, or whither he goes; so is every one who is born of the spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus replied, Are you the teacher of Israel, and know not these things? ¹¹ Most assuredly, I say to you, we speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; yet you receive not our testimony. ¹² If you understood not, when I told you earthly things, how will you understand when I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ For none has ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven; the Son of Man, whose abode is heaven. ¹⁴ As Moses placed on high the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be placed on high; ¹⁵ that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but obtain eternal life: ¹⁶ for God has so loved the world, as to give his own begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him, may not perish, but obtain eternal life. ¹⁷ For God has sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world may be saved by him. ¹⁸ He who believes on him shall not be condemned; he who believes not, is already condemned, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ Now this is the ground of condemnation; that light has come into the world, and men have preferred the darkness to the light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For whosoever does evil, hates the light, and shuns it, lest his deeds should be detected. ²¹ But he who obeys the truth, comes to the light, that it may be manifest that his actions are agreeable to God. ²² After this, Jesus went, with his disciples, into the territory of Judea, where he remained with them, and immersed. ²³ John also was immersing in Enon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came thither, and were immersed. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Now John's disciples had a dispute with a Jew, about purification. ²⁶ Then they went to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with you near the Jordan, of whom you gave so great a character; he, too, immerses, and the people flock to him. ²⁷ John answered, A man can have no power but what he derives from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are witness for me, that I said, I am not the Messiah; but am sent before him. ²⁹ The bridegroom is he who has the bride; but the friend of the bridegroom, who assists him, rejoices to hear the bridegroom's voice: this, my joy, therefore, is complete. ³⁰ He must increase, while I decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above, is above all. He who is from the earth is earthly, and speaks as being from the earth. He who comes from heaven, is above all. ³² What he testifies, is what he has seen and heard; yet his testimony is not received. ³³ He who receives his testimony, vouches the veracity of God. ³⁴ for he whom God has commissioned, relates God's own words; for to him God gives not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has subjected all things to him. ³⁶ He who believes on the Son, has life eternal; he who rejects the Son, shall not see life: but the vengeance of God awaits him.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But there was one of the Pharishee whose name was Nikodimos, a ruler of the Jihudoyee: ² this came to Jeshu in the night, and said to him, Rabi, we know that from Aloha thou art sent a teacher; for no man can these signs perform which thou doest, unless Aloha be with him. ³ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha. ⁴ Nikodimos said to him, How can an old man be born? Who can again the womb of his mother the second time enter, and be born? ⁵ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha. ⁶ Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh; and whatever is born of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Wonder not that I have said to thee, that it behoves you to be born anew. ⁸ The wind bloweth where she willeth,* and her voice thou hearest; but thou knowest not whence she cometh, nor whither she goeth: so is every man who is born of the Spirit. [* Rucho signifies either the Spirit, or the wind; as, in like manner, does the corresponding Greek word wneuma and hence most of the versions of the latter have, "The Spirit bloweth where he willeth;" but in the Syriac text the verbs and the pronominal affix to the noun "voice" being in the feminine, the application of Rucho to the Holy Spirit seems not to have been contemplated. OLSHAUSEN on the Greek text has well said, "The comparison itself, and the expression, fwnhn autou, show, beyond doubt, that wneuma does not here mean the breath of the Divine Spirit, but the wind properly so called."] ⁹ Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not? ¹¹ Amen, amen, I say to thee, What we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; but our testimony you receive not. ¹² If of (what is) on earth I tell you, and you believe not, how if I tell you of (what is) in heaven, could you believe me? ¹³ AND no man hath ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man, he who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Musha elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so is to be elevated the Son of man, ¹⁵ that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁷ For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him. ¹⁸ He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light hath come into the world, and the sons of men have loved darkness rather than the light, for their deeds have been evil. ²⁰ For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he who doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be known that in Aloha they are wrought. ²² AFTER these came Jeshu and his disciples into the land of Jihuda, and there conversed with them and baptized. ²³ But Juchanon also was baptizing in Ein-yon, near Sholim, because the waters were there many; and they came and were baptized; ²⁴ for not yet was Juchanon cast into the house of the bound. ²⁵ But there was a question with some of the disciples of Juchanon (and) a certain Jihudoya, upon purification. ²⁶ And they came to Juchanon, and said to him, Raban, he who was with thee at the passage of Jurdan, (and) concerning whom thou didst give witness, he also baptizeth, and many come to him. ²⁷ Juchanon answered and said to them, A man cannot receive of his own will any thing, unless it be given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostle [Shelicho.] before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete. ³⁰ To him it must be to increase, and to me to decrease. ³¹ For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth. ³³ But he who hath received his, hath sealed that the true Aloha is he.[D'Aloha sharira-u: compare the same words, 1Jo 1:20.] ³⁴ For he whom Aloha hath sent, the very words of Aloha speaketh; for it was not in measure that Aloha gave the Spirit. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and every thing hath he given into his hands. ³⁶ He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees there, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² And he came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God; for no one can work those signs which thou workest, unless God be with him. ³ Jesus replied, and said to him: Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born anew, he cannot behold the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to him: How can an old man be born? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? ⁵ Jesus replied, and said to him Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Be not surprised that I said to thee, Ye must be born anew. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it chooseth; and thou hearest its sound, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one, that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to thee: We speak, what we know; and we testify to what we have seen; but ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have spoken to you of things on earth, and ye believe not; how will ye believe, if I speak of things in heaven? ¹³ And no one hath ascended to heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that every one who believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but should have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world might live by means of 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. ¹⁹ And this is the ground of condemnation, that light hath come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, for their deeds have been evil. ²⁰ For every one that doeth abominable things, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that doeth right, cometh to the light, that his works may be known to be done in God. ²² After these things, came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in 'non, which is near to Salim, because there were many waters there: and the people came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet fallen into prison. ²⁵ And one of John's disciples and a certain Jew had disputed respecting purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him: Our Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, and of whom thou gavest testimony, lo, he also baptizeth; and many go after him. ²⁷ John answered, and said to them: A man cannot take any thing by his own choice, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye are witnesses for me, that I said: I am not the Messiah, but am sent to go before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and listeneth to him, rejoiceth with great joy on account of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, lo, it is full. ³⁰ To him must be increase, and to me decrease. ³¹ For he that cometh from above, is above all; and he that is from the earth, is of the earth, and talketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, is above all; ³² and what he hath seen and heard, he testifieth; and his testimony, no one receiveth. ³³ But he that receiveth his testimony, hath set his seal, that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God hath not given the Spirit by measure to him. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given every thing into his hands. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son, hath life eternal; but he who obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life. but the wrath of God will abide upon him.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ^(4:2) And there was a man of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to him by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can perform these miracles which you perform unless God is with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, I tell you most truly, unless one has been born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he become an unborn infant of his mother a second time, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, I tell you most truly, unless a man is born of water and of the 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 a spirit. ⁷ Wonder not that I said to you, You must be born again. ⁸ The Spirit breathes where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you know not whence it comes, nor whither it goes; so is every one that has been born of the Spirit. ⁹ ^(4:3) Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a teacher of Israel and know not these things? ¹¹ I tell you most truly, that we speak what we know, and what we have seen we testify; and you receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you believe not, how will you believe if I should tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended into heaven but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up; ¹⁵ that every one believing in him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that every one believing in him may not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believes in him is not judged; but he that believes not has been judged already; because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment; that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. ²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved; ²¹ but he that does good comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, for they are wrought in God. ²² ^(5:1) AFTER these things Jesus and his disciples came into the country of Judea; and there he staid with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing at AEnon, near Salim, because there were many waters there; and they came and were baptized, ²⁴ for John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there was a controversy of the disciples of John with a Jew concerning purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this [man] baptizes and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice; this my joy, therefore, is fully attained. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that comes from above is above all; he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He that comes from heaven is above all; ³² and what he has seen and heard this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He that receives his testimony has sealed that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God continues on him.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Was and a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus a name to him, a ruler of the Jews; ² this came to him by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that from God thou hast come a teacher; no one for these the signs is able to do, which thou doest, except may be the God with him. ³ Answered the Jesus and said to him: Indeed indeed I say to thee, if not any one may be born from above, not is able to see the kingdom of the God. ⁴ Says to him the Nicodemus: How is able a man to be born old being? not is able into the womb of the mother of himself a second time to enter, and to be born? ⁵ Answered Jesus: Indeed indeed I say to thee, if not any one may be born out of water and spirit, not is able to enter into the kingdom of the God. ⁶ That having been born out of the flesh, flesh is; and that having been born out of the spirit, a spirit is. ⁷ Not thou mayest wonder, that I said to thee: Must you to be born from above. ⁸ The spirit where it wills breathes; and the sound of it thou hearest, but not thou knowest, whence it comes, and where it goes; thus is every one the having been born out of of the spirit. ⁹ Answered Nicodemus and said to him: How is able these to be? ¹⁰ Answered Jesus and said to him: Thou art the teacher of the Israel, and these not thou knowest? ¹¹ Indeed indeed I say to thee, that which we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; and the testimony of us not you receive. ¹² If the things earthly I told you, and not you believed; how, I tell you the things heavenly, will you believe? ¹³ And no one has ascended into the heaven, except he out of the heaven having descended, the son of the man, the being in the heaven. ¹⁴ And even as Moses raised aloft the serpent in the desert, thus to be raised it behooves the son of the man; ¹⁵ that every one who believing into him, not may be destroyed, but may have life age-lasting. ¹⁶ Thus for loved the God the world, so that the son of himself the only-begotten he gave, that every one who believing into him, not may be destroyed, but may have life age-lasting. ¹⁷ Not for sent the God the son of himself into the world, that he might judge the world, but that might be saved the world through him. ¹⁸ He believing into him, not is judged; he but not believing, already is judged, became not he has believed into the name of the only-begotten son of the God. ¹⁹ This and is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and loved the man rather the darkness, than the light; was for evil of them the works. ²⁰ Every one for the vile things doing, hates the light, and not comes to the light, that not may be detected the works of him. ²¹ He but doing the truth comes to the light, so that may be made manifest of him the works, that in God it is having been done. ²² After these came the Jesus and the disciples of him into the Judean land; and there remained with them, and was dipping. ²³ Was and also John dipping in Enon, near the Salim, because waters many was there; and they were coming, and were being dipped. ²⁴ Not yet for was having been cast into the prison the John. ²⁵ Occurred then a disciple of the disciples of John with a Jew about cleansing. ²⁶ And they came to the John, and said to him: Rabbi, who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou has testified, behold, he dips, and all come to him. ²⁷ Answered John and said: Not is able a man to receive nothing, except it may be having been given to him from the heaven. ²⁸ Yourselves you to me bear testimony, that I said: Not am I the Anointed, but that having been sent I am in presence of him. ²⁹ He having the bride, a bridegroom is; the but friend of the bridegroom, that standing and hearing him, with joy rejoices through the voices of the bridegroom. This therefore the joy that of me has been completed. ³⁰ Him it behooves to increase, me but to increase. ³¹ He from above coming, over all is. He being from the earth, from the earth is, and from the earth speaks; he from the heaven coming, over all is, ³² and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and the testimony of him no one receives. ³³ He receiving of him the testimony, has set his seal, that the God true is. ³⁴ Whom for has sent the God, the words of the God speaks; not for by measure gives the God the spirit. ³⁵ The Father loves the son, and all has been given in the hand of him. ³⁶ He believing into the son, has life age-lasting; he but disobeying the son, not shall see life, but the anger of the God abides on him.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² 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 can do these signs which thou doest, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily, I say to thee, except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus says to 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? ⁵ Jesus answered: Verily, verily, I say to thee, except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he can not 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to thee: Ye must be born again. ⁸ The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but knowest not whence it comes, and whither it goes. So is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou the teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to thee, we speak that which we know, and testify that which we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I told you the earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you the heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended up into heaven, but he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up; ¹⁵ that every one who believes on him may have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes on him, should not perish, but may have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believes on him is not judged; but he that believes not has already been judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and immersed. ²³ And John also was immersing in aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were immersed. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ There arose therefore a question, on the part of John's disciples with a Jew, about purification. 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 immerses, and all come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said: A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is made full. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that comes from above is above all; he that is from the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth; he that comes from heaven is above all. ³² And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and his testimony no one receives. ³³ He that received his testimony has set his seal, That God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God sent forth speaks the words of God; for he gives not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is begotten of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is begotten of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Wonder not that I said to you, you must all be born again, ⁸ The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to you, we speak that which we know, and testify to that which we have seen; and you receive not our testimony. ¹² If I have told you of earthly things, and you believe not, how will you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? ¹³ And no man has ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up; ¹⁵ that whoever believes on him may not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him, might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that does evil, hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. ²¹ But he that does the truth, comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are done in God. ²² After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea, and he remained there with them, and immersed. ²³ And John also was immersing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed; ²⁴ for John had not yet been thrown into prison. ²⁵ There arose, therefore, a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew, about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him. ²⁷ John answered and said: A man can receive nothing unless it be given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all; ³² and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 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. 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. ⁴ Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mothers womb a second time, and be born? 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. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again. 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. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things? 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. ¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up ¹⁵ that every one who believeth in him may have everlasting life. 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. ¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved. 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. 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. ²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea; and there he remained with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet thrown into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a question on the part of Johns disciples with a Jew about purifying. 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. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before that man. 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 bridegrooms voice. This my joy then hath become full. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. 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 ³² testifieth what he hath seen and heard; and no one receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that hath received his testimony hath set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for he giveth not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 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.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews, ² this one came unto him by night, and said to him, `Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come—a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.' ³ Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;' ⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?' ⁵ Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God; ⁶ that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ `Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above; ⁸ the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.' ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, `How are these things able to happen?' ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, `Thou art the teacher of Israel—and these things thou dost not know! ¹¹ `Verily, verily, I say to thee—What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye do not receive; ¹² if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe? ¹³ and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down—the Son of Man who is in the heaven. ¹⁴ `And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, ¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him; ¹⁸ he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil; ²⁰ for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected; ²¹ but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'
²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing; ²³ and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized— ²⁴ for John was not yet cast into the prison— ²⁵ there arose then a question from the disciples of John with some Jews about purifying, ²⁶ and they came unto John, and said to him, `Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.' ²⁷ John answered and said, `A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven; ²⁸ ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him; ²⁹ he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled. ³⁰ `Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less; ³¹ he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all. ³² `And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth; ³³ he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true; ³⁴ for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit; ³⁵ the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand; ³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus the name to him, a ruler of the Jews: ² He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God: for none can do these signs which thou doest, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except any one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born, being an old man? he cannot come in a second time to his mother's belly, and be born. ⁵ Jesus says to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, Except any one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot come into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That born of flesh is flesh; and that born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Thou shouldest not wonder that I said to thee, Ye must be born from above. ⁸ The wind, where it wills, blows, and its voice thou hearest, but thou knowest not whence it comes, and where it goes: so is every one having been born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to thee, that what we know, we speak, and what we have seen we testify; and ye receive not our testimony. ¹² If I spake to you earthly things, and ye believe not, how, if I speak to you heavenly things, will ye believe ¹³ And none has ascended to heaven, except he having descended from heaven, the Son of man, he being in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up; ¹⁵ That every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world that he judge the world; but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He believing in him is not judged: and he not believing has been already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men rather loved darkness than light, for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked. ²¹ But he doing the truth comes to the light, that his works might be manifested, that they are wrought in God. ²² After these Jesus came and his disciples into the Judean land; and there he tarried with them, and immersed. ²³ And John was also immersing in AEnon near Salim, for many waters were there: and they came near and were immersed. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then was there an investigation of John's disciples with Jesus about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast testified, behold, he immerses, and all come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, No man can receive anything except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves testify to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He having the bride is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy for the bridegroom's voice: therefore this my joy has been completed. ³⁰ He must increase, and I must be diminished. ³¹ He coming from above is above all, he being of the earth is of earth, and speaks of earth: he coming from heaven is above all. ³² And what he saw and heard, this be testifies: and none receives his testimony. ³³ He having received his testimony has fixed a seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and he has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He believing in the Son has eternal life: and he not believing the Son shall not see life, but the anger of God remains upon him.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; ² he came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these signs that thou doest unless God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born being old? can he enter a second time into the womb of his mother and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born of water and of 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. ⁷ Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that *ye* should be born anew. ⁸ The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things! ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness. ¹² If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe? ¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but] have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him. ¹⁸ He that believes on him is not judged: but he that believes not has been already judged, because he has not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light; for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light that his works may not be shewn as they are; ²¹ but he that practises the truth comes to the light, that his works may be manifested that they have been wrought in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them and baptised. ²³ And John also was baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because there was a great deal of water there; and they came to [him] and were baptised: ²⁴ for John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ There was therefore a reasoning of the disciples of John with a Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it be given him out of heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all, ³² [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true; ³⁴ for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ² The same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born anew, 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. ¹² If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, which is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. ²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying. ²⁶ And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent 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. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all. ³² What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness. ³³ He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to [this], that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

1 G2258 Now there was G1161 a G444 man G1537 of G5330 the Pharisees, G3686 named G846 Nicodemus, G758 a ruler G2453 of the Jews:

2 G3778 the same G2064 came G4314 unto G2424 him G3571 by night, G2532 and G2036 said G846 to him, G4461 Rabbi, G1492 we know G3754 that G2064 thou art G1320 a teacher G2064 come G575 from G2316 God; G1063 for G3762 no one G1410 can G4160 do G5023 these G4592 signs G3739 that G4771 thou G1437 doest, G3361 except G2316 God G5600 be G3326 with G846 him.

3 G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2532 and G2036 said G846 unto him, G281 Verily, G281 verily, G3004 I say G1437 unto thee, G3361 Except G5100 one G1080 be born G509 anew, G3756 he cannot G1410 G1492 see G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.

4 G3530 Nicodemus G3004 saith G4314 unto G846 him, G4459 How G1410 can G444 a man G1080 be born G5607 when he is G3361 old? G1410 can he G1525 enter G1208 a second time G1519 into G846 his G3384 mother's G2836 womb, G2532 and G1080 be born?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 answered, G281 Verily, G281 verily, G3004 I say G1437 unto thee, G3361 Except G5100 one G1080 be born G1537 of G5204 water G2532 and G4151 the Spirit, G3756 he cannot G1410 G1525 enter G1519 into G932 the kingdom G2316 of God!

6 G1080 That which is born G1537 of G4561 the flesh G2076 is G4561 flesh; G2532 and G1080 that which is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit G2076 is G4151 spirit.

7 G2296 Marvel G3361 not G3754 that G2036 I said G4671 unto thee, G5209 Ye G1163 must G1080 be born G509 anew.

8 G4151 The wind G4154 bloweth G3699 where G2309 it will, G2532 and G191 thou hearest G5456 the voice G846 thereof, G235 but G1492 knowest G1492 G3756 not G4159 whence G2064 it cometh, G2532 and G4226 whither G5217 it goeth: G3779 so G2076 is G3956 every G1080 one that is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit.

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 answered G2532 and G2036 said G846 unto him, G4459 How G1410 can G5023 these things G1096 be?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2532 and G2036 said G846 unto him, G1488 Art G4771 thou G1320 the teacher G2474 of Israel, G2532 and G1097 understandest G3756 not G5023 these things?

11 G281 Verily, G281 verily, G3004 I say G3754 unto thee, G2980 We speak G3739 that G1492 which we know, G2532 and G3140 bear witness G3739 of that G3708 which we have seen; G2532 and G2983 ye receive G3756 not G2257 our G3141 witness.

12 G1487 If G2036 I told G5213 you G1919 earthly things G2532 and G4100 ye believe G3756 not, G4459 how G4100 shall ye believe G1437 if G2036 I tell G5213 you G2032 heavenly things?

13 G2532 And G3762 no one G305 hath ascended G1519 into G1487 heaven, G3361 but G3588 he that G2597 descended G1537 out G3772 of heaven, G5207 even the Son G444 of man, G5607 who is G1722 in G3772 heaven.

14 G2532 And G2531 as G3475 Moses G5312 lifted up G3789 the serpent G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G3779 even so G1163 must G5207 the Son G444 of man G5312 be lifted up;

15 G2443 that G3956 whosoever G4100 believeth G1519 may in G846 him G2192 have G166 eternal G2222 life.

16 G1063 For G2316 God G3779 so G25 loved G2889 the world, G5620 that G1325 he gave G846 his G3439 only begotten G5207 Son, G2443 that G3956 whosoever G4100 believeth G1519 on G846 him G622 should G3361 not G622 perish, G235 but G2192 have G166 eternal G2222 life.

17 G1063 For G2316 God G649 sent G3756 not G846 the G5207 Son G1519 into G2889 the world G2443 to G2919 judge G2889 the world; G235 but G2443 that G2889 the world G4982 should be saved G1223 through G846 him.

18 G4100 He that believeth G1519 on G846 him G2919 is G3756 not G2919 judged: G1161 he G4100 that believeth G3361 not G2919 hath been judged G2235 already, G3754 because G4100 he hath G3361 not G4100 believed G1519 on G3686 the name G3439 of the only begotten G5207 Son G2316 of God.

19 G1161 And G3778 this G2076 is G2920 the judgment, G3754 that G5457 the light G2064 is come G1519 into G2889 the world, G2532 and G444 men G25 loved G4655 the darkness G3123 rather G2228 than G5457 the light; G1063 for G846 their G2041 works G2258 were G4190 evil.

20 G1063 For G3956 every G4238 one that doeth G5337 evil G3404 hateth G2532 the light, G2064 and cometh G3756 not G4314 to G2443 the light, G3361 lest G846 his G2041 works G1651 should be reproved.

21 G1161 But G4160 he that doeth G225 the truth G2064 cometh G4314 to G5457 the light, G2443 that G846 his G2041 works G5319 may be made manifest, G3754 that G2076 they have G2038 been wrought G1722 in G2316 God.

22 G3326 After G5023 these things G2064 came G2424 Jesus G2532 and G846 his G3101 disciples G1519 into G1093 the land G2453 of Judea; G2532 and G1563 there G1304 he tarried G3326 with G846 them, G2532 and G907 baptized.

23 G1161 And G2491 John G2532 also G2258 was G907 baptizing G1722 in G137 Enon G1451 near G4530 to Salim, G3754 because G2258 there was G4183 much G5204 water G1563 there: G2532 and G3854 they came, G2532 and G907 were baptized.

24 G1063 For G2491 John G2258 was G3768 not yet G906 cast G1519 into G5438 prison.

25 G1096 There arose G3767 therefore G2214 a questioning G3326 on the part G1537 of G2491 John's G3101 disciples G3326 with G2453 a Jew G4012 about G2512 purifying.

26 G2532 And G2064 they came G4314 unto G2491 John, G2532 and G2036 said G846 to him, G4461 Rabbi, G3739 he G2258 that was G3326 with G4675 thee G4008 beyond G2446 the Jordan, G3739 to whom G4771 thou G3140 hast borne witness, G1492 behold, G3778 the same G907 baptizeth, G2532 and G3956 all G2064 men come G4314 to G846 him.

27 G2491 John G611 answered G2532 and G2036 said, G3756 A G444 man G1410 can G2983 receive G1437 nothing, G3361 except G5600 it have been G1325 given G846 him G1537 from G3772 heaven.

28 G5210 Ye G846 yourselves G3140 bear G3427 me G3140 witness, G3754 that G2036 I said, G1473 I G1510 am G3756 not G5547 the Christ, G235 but, G3754 that G1510 I am G649 sent G1715 before G1565 him.

29 G2192 He that hath G3565 the bride G2076 is G3566 the bridegroom: G1161 but G5384 the friend G3566 of the bridegroom, G2476 that standeth G2532 and G191 heareth G846 him, G5463 rejoiceth G5479 greatly G1223 because G5456 of the G3566 bridegroom's G5456 voice: G3778 this G1699 my G5479 joy G3767 therefore G4137 is made full.

30 G1565 He G1163 must G837 increase, G1161 but G1691 I G1642 must decrease.

31 G2064 He that cometh G509 from above G2076 is G1883 above G3956 all: G5607 he that is G1537 of G1093 the earth G2076 is G1537 of G1093 the earth, G2532 and G1537 of G1093 the earth G2980 he speaketh: G2064 he that cometh G1537 from G3772 heaven G2076 is G1883 above G3956 all.

32 G2532 G3739 What G3708 he hath seen G2532 and G191 heard, G5124 of that G3140 he beareth witness; G2532 and G3762 no man G2983 receiveth G846 his G3141 witness.

33 G2983 He that hath received G846 his G846 witness hath set his G4972 seal G3754 to this, that G2316 God G2076 is G227 true.

34 G1063 For G3739 he whom G2316 God G649 hath sent G2980 speaketh G4487 the words G2316 of God: G1063 for G2316 he G1325 giveth G3756 not G4151 the Spirit G1537 by G3358 measure.

35 G3962 The Father G25 loveth G5207 the Son, G2532 and G1325 hath given G3956 all things G1722 into G846 his G5495 hand.

36 G4100 He that believeth G1519 on G5207 the Son G2192 hath G166 eternal G2222 life; G1161 but G544 he that obeyeth not G5207 the Son G3700 shall G3756 not G3700 see G2222 life, G235 but G3709 the wrath G2316 of God G3306 abideth G1909 on G846 him.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ² the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew. ⁸ The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness. ¹² If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not judged; he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. ²¹ But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea, and there he tarried with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purifying. ²⁶ And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice; this my joy therefore is made full. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that cometh from above is above all; he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh; he that cometh from heaven is above all. ³² What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness, and no man receiveth his witness. ³³ He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to this, that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God; for God giveth not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life, but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name,––ruler of the Jews. ² 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 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, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born? ⁵ 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 hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit. ⁷ Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above. ⁸ 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, come about? ¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said unto him––Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not? ¹¹ 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, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe? ¹³ And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended,––The Son of Man. ¹⁴ And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up,–– ¹⁵ That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age–abiding. ¹⁶ 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. ¹⁷ 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 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 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, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved; ²¹ 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 Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing. ²³ And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; –– ²⁴ for, not yet, had John been cast into prison. ²⁵ There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew,––concerning purification. ²⁶ 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 receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven. ²⁸ 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, 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 That One, it behoveth to increase,––but, me, to decrease. ³¹ 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 What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness,––and, his witness, no one, receiveth:–– ³³ He that hath received his witness, hath set seal––that, God, is, true. ³⁴ 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, all things, hath given into his hand. ³⁶ 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.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a leading man among the Jews. ² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: "Rabbi, we know that you are a Teacher come from God; for no one could give such signs as you are giving, unless God were with him." ³ "In truth I tell you," exclaimed Jesus, "unless a man is reborn, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." ⁴ "How can a man," asked Nicodemus, "be born when he is old? Can he be born a second time?" ⁵ "In truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "unless a man owes his birth to Water and Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. ⁶ All that owes its birth to human nature is human, and all that owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual. ⁷ Do not wonder at my telling you that you all need to be reborn. ⁸ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes, or where it goes; it is the same with every one that owes his birth to the Spirit." ⁹ "How can that be?" asked Nicodemus. ¹⁰ "What! You a teacher of Israel," exclaimed Jesus, "and yet do not understand this! ¹¹ In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements. ¹² If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things? ¹³ No one has ascended to Heaven, except him who descended from Heaven--the Son of Man himself. ¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up; ¹⁵ That every one who believes in him may have Immortal Life." ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that every one who believes in him may not be lost, but have Immortal Life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him escapes condemnation, while he who does not believe in him is already condemned, because he has not believed in the only Son of God. ¹⁹ The ground of his condemnation is this, that though the Light has come into the world, men preferred the darkness to the Light, because their actions were wicked. ²⁰ For he who lives an evil life hates the light, and will not come to it, for fear that his actions should be exposed; ²¹ But he who acts up to the truth comes to the light, that his actions may be shown to have been done in dependence upon God. ²² After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the country parts of Judea; and there he stayed with them, and baptized. ²³ John, also, was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there were many streams there; and people were constantly coming and being baptized. ²⁴ (For John had not yet been imprisoned). ²⁵ Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew on the subject of 'purification;' ²⁶ And the disciples came to John and said: "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, and to whom you have yourself borne testimony--he, also, is baptizing, and everybody is going to him." ²⁷ John's answer was--"A man can gain nothing but what is given him from Heaven. ²⁸ You are yourselves witnesses that I said 'I am not the Christ,' but 'I have been sent before him as a Messenger.' ²⁹ It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend, who stands by and listens to him, is filled with joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. This joy I have felt to the full. ³⁰ He must become greater, and I less." ³¹ He who comes from above is above all others; but a child of earth is earthly, and his teaching is earthly, too. He who comes from Heaven is above all others. ³² He states what he has seen and what he heard, and yet no one accepts his statement. ³³ They who did accept his statement attested the fact that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God sent as his Messenger gives us God's own teaching, for God does not limit the gift of the Spirit. ³⁵ The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has Immortal Life, while he who rejects the Son will not even see that Life, but remains under 'God's displeasure.'

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was a man of the Pharisees, the name to him Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; ² 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 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? whether he is able to enter the second time into the womb of his mother, and be born? ⁵ 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. ⁷ Be not astonished because I said to thee; It behooveth you to be born from above. ⁸ 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 responded and said to Him, How are these things able to he? ¹⁰ Jesus responded and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not these things? ¹¹ 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 things upon the earth, and you do net believe, how will you believe, if I speak to you of things in heaven? ¹³ 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 does it behoove the Son of man to be lifted up: ¹⁵ that every one believing in Him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ 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. ¹⁷ 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 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 condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light; for their works are evil. ²⁰ 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 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 Judean country; and there He was tarrying with them and baptizing. ²³ 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 prison. ²⁵ 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 is with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all are coming to Him. ²⁷ John responded and said, No man is able to receive anything, unless it may have been given unto him from heaven. ²⁸ You are witnessing to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him. ²⁹ 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 behooveth Him to increase, and me to decrease. ³¹ He that cometh from above is above all; ³² 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 The one having received His testimony hath set his seal, that God is true. ³⁴ 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 in His hands. ³⁶ 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.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus--a ruler among the Jews. ² He came to Jesus by night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher from God; for no one can do these miracles which you are doing, unless God is with him. ³ "In most solemn truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born anew he cannot see the Kingdom of God." ⁴ "How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb and be born?" ⁵ "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. ⁶ Whatever has been born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever has been born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not be astonished at my telling you, 'You must all be born anew.' ⁸ The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with every one who has been born of the Spirit." ⁹ "How is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus. ¹⁰ "Are you," replied Jesus, "'the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you not understand these things? ¹¹ In most solemn truth I tell you that we speak what we know, and give testimony of that of which we were eye-witnesses, and yet you all reject our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and none of you believe me, how will you believe me if I tell you of things in Heaven? ¹³ There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, but there is One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven. ¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted high the serpent in the Desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ in order that every one who trusts in Him may have the Life of the Ages." ¹⁶ For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸ He who trusts in Him does not come up for judgement. He who does not trust has already received sentence, because he has not his trust resting on the name of God's only Son. ¹⁹ And this is the test by which men are judged--the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than they loved the Light, because their deeds were wicked. ²⁰ For every wrongdoer hates the light, and does not come to the light, for fear his actions should be exposed and condemned. ²¹ But he who does what is honest and right comes to the light, in order that his actions may be plainly shown to have been done in God. ²² After this Jesus and His disciples went into Judaea; and there He made a stay in company with them and baptized. ²³ And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools of water there; and people came and received baptism. ²⁴ (For John was not yet in prison.) ²⁵ As the result, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification, ²⁶ they came to John and reported to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan and to whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of people are resorting to him." ²⁷ "A man cannot obtain anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted to him from Heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can bear witness to my having said, 'I am not the Christ,' but 'I am His appointed forerunner.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; and the bridegroom's friend who stands by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily on account of the bridegroom's happiness. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. ³⁰ He must grow greater, but I must grow less. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He whose origin is from the earth is not only himself from the earth, his teaching also is from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all. ³² What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness; but His testimony no one receives. ³³ Any man who has received His testimony has solemnly declared that God is true. ³⁴ For He whom God has sent speaks God's words; for God does not give the Spirit with limitations." ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to His hands. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has the Life of the Ages; he who disobeys the Son will not enter into Life, but God's anger remains upon him.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that Thou hast come, as a Teacher, from God; for no one can do the signs which Thou art doing, unless God be with Him." ³ Jesus answered, and said to him, "Verily, verily, I say to you, unless one be born anew, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus says to Him, "How can a man he born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and he born?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say to you, unless one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. ⁶ That which has been born of the flesh is flesh: and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to you, ye must be born anew. ⁸ The Spirit breatheth where He willeth; and you hear His voice, but know not whence He cometh, or whither He goeth: so is every one who has been born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said to Him, "How can these things be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and understand not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to you, We speak that which We know, and testify to that which We have seen; and ye receive not Our testimony. ¹² If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe, if I tell you Heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended into Heaven, but He Who descended out of Heaven—the Son of Man [Who is in Heaven]. ¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; ¹⁵ that every one who believes in Him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one who believes on Him should not perish, but have eternal life; ¹⁷ for God sent not His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him. ¹⁸ He that believes on Him is not judged; he that believes not has been judged already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the Light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one that practices evil hates the Light, and comes not to the Light, lest his works should be reproved; ²¹ but he that does the truth comes to the Light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God." ²² After these things came Jesus and His disciples into the land of Judaea; and there He was tarrying with them, and immersing. ²³ And John also was immersing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there; and they were coming and being immersed. ²⁴ For John had not yet been cast into prison. ²⁵ There arose, therefore, a question, on the part of John's disciples with a Jew, about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, He Who was with you beyond the Jordan, to Whom you have borne testimony, behold, He is immersing, and all are coming to Him." ²⁷ John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given to him from Heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but that I have been sent before Him.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bride-groom who stands and hears him greatly rejoices because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, has been made full. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He That cometh from above is above all; he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth; He that cometh from Heaven is above all. ³² What He hath seen, and what He heard, of this He bears testimony; and no man receives His testimony. ³³ He that received His testimony did set his seal to it, that God is true. ³⁴ For He Whom God sent speaketh the words of God; for He giveth not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who belonged to the Jewish authorities; ² he came one night to Jesus and said, "Rabbi, we know you have come from God to teach us, for no one could perform these Signs of yours unless God were with him." ³ Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, no one can see God's Realm unless he is born from above." ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb over again and be born?" ⁵ Jesus replied, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter God's Realm. ⁶ What is born of the flesh is flesh: what is born of the Spirit is Spirit. ⁷ Do not wonder at me telling you, 'You must all be born from above.' ⁸ The wind blows where it wills; you can hear its sound, but you never know where it has come from or where it goes: it is the same with everyone who is born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered, "How can that be?" ¹⁰ Jesus replied, "You do not understand this? — you, a teacher in Israel! ¹¹ Truly, truly I tell you, we are speaking of what we do understand, we testify to what we have actually seen — and yet you refuse our testimony. ¹² If you will not believe when I speak to you about things on earth, how will you believe if I speak to you about things in heaven? ¹³ And yet the Son of man, descended from heaven, is the only one who has ever ascended into heaven. ¹⁴ Indeed the Son of man must be lifted on high, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, ¹⁵ that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God loved the world so dearly that he gave up his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life, instead of perishing. ¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not sentenced; he who will not believe is sentenced already, for having refused to believe in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the sentence of condemnation, that the Light has entered the world and yet men have preferred darkness to light. It is because their actions have been evil; ²⁰ for anyone whose practices are corrupt loathes the light and will not come out into it, in case his actions are exposed, ²¹ whereas anyone whose life is true comes out into the light, to make it plain that his actions have been divinely prompted. ²² [vss 22-30 moved to between 2:12 and 2:13] After this Jesus and his disciples went into the country of Judaea, where he spent some time with them baptizing. ²³ John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, as there was plenty of water there, and people came to him and were baptized ²⁴ (John had not yet been thrown into prison). ²⁵ Now a dispute arose between John's disciples and a Jew over the question of 'purification'; ²⁶ and they came and told John, "Rabbi, the man who was with you on the opposite side of the Jordan, the man to whom you bore testimony — here he is, baptizing, and everybody goes to him!" ²⁷ John answered, "No one can receive anything except as a gift from heaven. ²⁸ You can bear me out, that I said, 'I am not the Christ'; what I said was, 'I have been sent in advance of him.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; the bridegroom's friend, who stands by and listens to him, is heartily glad at the sound of the bridegroom's voice. Such is my joy, and it is complete. ³⁰ He must wax, I must wane." ³¹ He who comes from above is far above all others; he who springs from earth belongs to earth and speaks of earth; he who comes from heaven [is far above all others. ³² He] is testifying to what he has seen and heard, and yet no one accepts his testimony. ³³ Whoever does accept it, certifies to the truth of God. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent utters the words of God — God gives him the Spirit in no sparing measure; ³⁵ the Father loves the Son and has given him control over everything. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life — God's anger broods over him."

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Among the Pharisees there was a man named Nicodemus, a leader among the Jews. ² This man went to Jesus one night, and said to him, "Master, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can show the signs that you do, unless God is with him." ³ Jesus answered him, "I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born over again from above!" ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb over again and be born?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "I tell you, if a man does not owe his birth to water and spirit, he cannot get into the Kingdom of God. ⁶ Whatever owes its birth to the physical is physical, and whatever owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual. ⁷ Do not wonder at my telling you that you must be born over again from above. ⁸ The wind blows wherever it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. That is the way with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus said to him, "How can that be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered, "Are you the teacher of Israel and yet ignorant of this? ¹¹ I tell you, we know what we are talking about and we have seen the things we testify to, yet you all reject our testimony. ¹² If you will not believe the earthly things that I have told you, how can you believe the heavenly things I have to tell? ¹³ Yet no one has gone up into heaven except the Son of Man who came down from heaven. ¹⁴ And just as Moses in the desert lifted the serpent up in the air, the Son of Man must be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life." ¹⁶ For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that no one who believes in him should be lost, but that they should all have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to pass judgment upon the world, but that through him the world might be saved. ¹⁸ No one who believes in him has to come up for judgment. Anyone who does not believe stands condemned already, for not believing in God's only Son. ¹⁹ And the basis of the judgment is this, that the light has come into the world, and yet, because their actions were wicked, men have loved the darkness more than the light. ²⁰ For everyone who does wrong hates the light and will not come to it, for fear his actions will be exposed. ²¹ But everyone who is living the truth will come to the light, to show that his actions have been performed in dependence upon God. ²² After this Jesus went into the country of Judea with his disciples, and stayed there with them and baptized. ²³ John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, for there was plenty of water there, and people came there and were baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet been put in prison. ²⁵ So a discussion arose between John's disciples and a man from Judea, about purification. ²⁶ And they went to John and said to him, "Master, the man who was with you across the Jordan, and to whom you yourself gave testimony, is baptizing, and everybody is going to him." ²⁷ John answered, "A man cannot get anything unless it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You will bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ; I have been sent in advance of him.' ²⁹ It is the bridegroom who has the bride; but the bridegroom's friend who stands outside and listens for his voice is very glad when he hears the bridegroom speak. So this happiness of mine is now complete. ³⁰ He must grow greater and greater, but I less and less." ³¹ He who comes from above is above all others. A son of earth belongs to earth and speaks of earth. He who comes from heaven is above all others. ³² It is to what he has seen and heard that he gives testimony, and yet no one accepts his testimony. ³³ Whoever does accept it has thereby acknowledged that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks God's words, for God gives him his Spirit without measure. ³⁵ The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands. ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son possesses eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not experience life, but will remain under the anger of God.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THERE was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus by name, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to Jesus one night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him." ³ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a man is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter into his mother's womb a second time and be born?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not wonder that I said, 'You must be born from above.' ⁸ The wind blows where it will, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes. So is every one who is born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered him, "How can these things be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered him, "You are the teacher of Israel, and do you not know these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I tell you, we are speaking of what we know, and we are witnessing to what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven — the Son of Man. ¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who believes in him may have life eternal." ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that every one who believes in him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ This is the condemnation, that Light has come into the world and men have loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were wicked. ²⁰ Every one who is doing base things hates the Light and does not come to the Light, that his deeds may not be reproved. ²¹ But he who is doing the truth comes to the Light, that it may be plainly shown that his deeds have been done in union with God. ²² After this Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea and there he spent some time with them and baptized. ²³ John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was abundant water there. People were constantly coming and being baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet been thrown into prison. ²⁵ There arose a dispute between the disciples of John and a Jew about purification. ²⁶ They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the man who was with you across the Jordan to whom you bore testimony — see, he is baptizing and all are coming to him." ²⁷ John answered, "A man can assume nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease." ³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth is of the earth and he speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. ³² What he has seen and heard, that he testifies to, yet no one accepts his testimony. ³³ He who accepts his testimony has set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ He whom God has sent speaks the word of God, for he does not give him the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has life eternal. He who disbelieves in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was one of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews. ² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him. "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these signs which you are continually doing, unless God is with him." ³ "In very truth I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God." ⁴ "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus replied; "Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" ⁵ "I tell you solemnly," Jesus answered, "that unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Marvel not at my telling you, 'You must all be born again from above.' ⁸ The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its voice, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with every one who has been born of the Spirit." ⁹ "How can this be?" said Nicodemus in reply. ¹⁰ "Are you the Teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?" said Jesus. ¹¹ "Most solemnly I tell you we are speaking of what we know, and it is about that of which we were eyewitnesses that we give testimony. Yet all of you reject our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and yet none of you believe me, how will you believe if I tell you concerning heavenly things? ¹³ There is no one gone up to heaven, except the One who came down from heaven—the Son of man himself. ¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ in order that every one who believes in him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He who trusts in him is not condemned, but he who does not trust has already been condemned, because he has not put his trust 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. ²⁰ For every one who practices wrong hates light, and does not come to the light, lest his actions be exposed; ²¹ but he who does what is true, comes to the light, in order that his actions may be shown to have been wrought in God." ²² After this Jesus and his disciples went into the countryside of Judea, and there he was staying with them and baptizing. ²³ John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there were many streams there, and people kept coming to receive baptism. ²⁴ (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.) ²⁵ Then some of John's disciples got into a controversy with a Jew in regard to purification; so they came to John and said to him. ²⁶ "Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him." ²⁷ In reply John said: "A man cannot obtain anything unless it has been granted to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but have been sent before him.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So then this joy of mine has now complete fulfilment. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ "He that comes from above is above all; but one who is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all. ³² He bears testimony to what he has heard and seen, yet no one receives his testimony. ³³ Whoever does receive it has set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God sent utters the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit sparingly. ³⁵ the Father loves the Son and has committed everything into his hands. ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him."

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THERE was there a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews; ² He came at night to Jesus and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these miracles that you are doing, except God is with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man is not born again,* he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, How can an old man be born again? can he enter again a second time into his motherÆs womb, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man is not born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ What is born of flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not be surprised because I have told you that you all must be born again. ⁸ The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound; but you do not know whence it comes and whither it goes; such is every man who is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to, You are a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak only what we know, and we testify only to what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how then will you believe me, if I tell you about heavenly things? ¹³ No man has ascended to heaven, except he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man is ready to be lifted up; ¹⁵ So that every man who believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he even gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world, to condemn the world; but that the world should be saved by him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him will not be condemned; and he who does not believe has already been condemned, for not believing in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and yet men have loved darkness more than light, because their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one who does detested things hates the light, and he does not come to the light, because his works cannot be covered. ²¹ But he who does truthful things comes to the light, so that his works may be known, that they are done through God. ²² After these things, Jesus and his disciples came to the land of Judaea, and he remained there with them, and baptized. ²³ John also was baptizing at the spring of Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Now it happened that a dispute arose between one of JohnÆs disciples and a Jew about the ceremony of purifying. ²⁶ So they came to John and told him, Teacher, he who was with you at the Jordan crossing, concerning whom you testified, behold, he also is baptizing and a great many are coming to him. ²⁷ John answered and said to them, No man can receive anything of his own will, except it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but only a messenger to go before him. ²⁹ He who has a bride is the bridegroom; and the best man of the bridegroom is he who stands up and listens to him, and rejoices greatly because of the bridegroomÆs voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must become greater and I lesser. ³¹ For he who has come from above is above all; and he who is of the earth is of the earth, and he speaks of earthly things; but he who has come from heaven is above all. ³² And he testifies of what he has seen and heard, and yet no man accepts his testimony. ³³ He who accepts his testimony, has set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God did not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has placed everything under his hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not obey the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God shall remain on him.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a chief of the Jews." ² This one came to Him by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we are aware that Thou art a Teacher come from God, for no one can be doing these signs which Thou art doing, if God should not be with Him." ³ Jesus answered and said to him, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If anyone should not be begotten anew, he can not perceive the kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus is saying to him, "How can a man, being a veteran, be begotten? He can not be entering into the womb of his mother a second time and be begotten!" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If anyone should not be begotten of water and of spirit, he can not be entering into the kingdom of God." ⁶ That which is begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten by the spirit is spirit." ⁷ You should not be marveling that I said to you, 'You must be begotten anew.'" ⁸ The blast is blowing where it wills, and the sound of it you are hearing, but you are not aware whence it is coming and where it is going. Thus is everyone who is begotten by the water and the spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, "How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, "You are a teacher of Israel, and these things you do not know? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that of that which we have perceived are we speaking, and to that which we have seen are we testifying, and our testimony you are not getting." ¹² If I told you of the terrestrial and you are not believing, how shall you be believing if I should be telling you of the celestial? ¹³ And no one has ascended into heaven except He Who descends out of heaven, the Son of Mankind Who is in heaven." ¹⁴ And, according as Moses exalts the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of Mankind be exalted, ¹⁵ that everyone believing on Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian." ¹⁶ For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian." ¹⁷ For God does not dispatch His Son into the world that He should be judging the world, but that the world may be saved through Him." ¹⁸ He who is believing in Him is not being judged; yet he who is not believing has been judged already, for he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God." ¹⁹ Now this is the judging: that the light has come into the world, and men love the darkness rather than the light, for their acts were wicked." ²⁰ For everyone who is committing bad things is hating the light and is not coming to the light, lest his acts may be exposed." ²¹ Now he who is doing the truth is coming to the light that his acts may be made manifest, for they have been wrought in God." ²² After these things came Jesus and His disciples into the land of Judea. And there He tarried with them and baptized. ²³ Now John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, for there was much water there, and they came along and were baptized, ²⁴ for not as yet was John cast into jail. ²⁵ There occurred, then, a questioning of the disciples of John with a Jew concerning cleansing." ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He Who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to Whom you have testified, lo! this One is baptizing and all are coming to Him." ²⁷ John answered and said, "A man can not get anything if it should not be given him out of heaven." ²⁸ You yourselves are testifying to me that I said, 'Not I am the Christ,' but that 'Dispatched am I in front of Him.'" ²⁹ He Who has the bride is the Bridegroom. Yet the friend of the Bridegroom, who stands and is hearing Him, is rejoicing with joy because of the Bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, then, has been fulfilled." ³⁰ He must be growing, yet mine it is to be inferior." ³¹ He Who from above is coming is over all. He who is of the earth is of the earth and of the earth is speaking; He Who is coming out of heaven is over all." ³² What He has seen and hears, this He is testifying, and no one is getting His testimony." ³³ He who is getting His testimony sets his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For He Whom God commissions is speaking God's declarations, for God is not giving the spirit by measure." ³⁵ The Father is loving the Son and has given all into His hand." ³⁶ He who is believing in the Son has life eonian, yet he who is stubborn as to the Son shall not be seeing life, but the indignation of God is remaining on him."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man named Nicodemus, who belonged to the party of the Pharisees and was a leader among the Jews. ² He came to Jesus one night and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that you have come from God, for no one can perform the wonder-works that you are doing, unless God is with him." ³ Jesus answered him, "I most solemnly say to you, no one can ever see the kingdom of God, unless he is born from above." ⁴ Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot again enter his mother's womb and be born, can he?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "I most solemnly say to you, no one can ever get into the kingdom of God, unless he is born of water and the Spirit. ⁶ Whatever is born of the physical is physical, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spiritual. ⁷ Never wonder at my telling you that you must all be born from above. ⁸ The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. That is just the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." ⁹ Then Nicodemus answered by asking, "How can this be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel and do not know this? ¹¹ I most solemnly say to you, we know what we are talking about and we have seen what we are testifying to, yet you are all rejecting our testimony. ¹² If you do not believe the earthly things I tell you, how can you believe the heavenly things, if I tell you about them? ¹³ And yet no one has gone up into heaven except the Son of Man who came down out of heaven. ¹⁴ And just as Moses in the desert lifted the serpent on the pole, the Son of Man must be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ "For God loved the world so much that He gave His Only Son, so that anyone who trusts in Him may never perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent His Son into the world, not to pass sentence on it, but that the world through Him might be saved. ¹⁸ Whoever trusts in Him is never to come up for judgment, but whoever does not trust in Him has already received his sentence, because he has not trusted in the name of God's only Son. ¹⁹ And the ground for the sentence is this, that the light has come into the world, and yet, because their actions were evil, men have loved darkness more than the light. ²⁰ For anyone who is in the habit of doing wrong hates the light, and to keep his actions from being reproved, he does not come out into the daylight. ²¹ But whoever is in the habit of living the truth will come out in the daylight, that his actions may be shown to be performed with God's help." ²² After this, Jesus and His disciples went into Judea, and for some time He stayed there with them and kept baptizing people. ²³ But John too was baptizing people at Aenon, near Salim, for there was plenty of water there, and so the people were coming and being baptized. ²⁴ (For John had not yet been put in prison.) ²⁵ Then a discussion came up between John's disciples and a Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they went to John and said to him, "Teacher, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony yourself, is baptizing people and everybody is going to Him." ²⁷ John answered, "A man cannot get anything, unless it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You can bear testimony to me yourselves that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent as His announcer.' ²⁹ It is the bridegroom who has the bride, but the bridegroom's friend, who stands outside and listens to him, is very happy to hear the bridegroom's voice. So this happiness of mine is running over. ³⁰ He must grow greater and greater, but I less and less." ³¹ He who comes from above is far above all others. He who springs from earth belongs to the earth and speaks of earth. He who comes from heaven is far above all others. ³² He continues to bear testimony to what He has actually seen and heard, and yet no one accepts His testimony. ³³ Whoever does accept His testimony has certified with a seal that God is true. ³⁴ For He whom God has sent continues to speak the words of God, for God continues to give Him the Spirit without measure. ³⁵ The Father loves His Son and has put everything in His hands. ³⁶ Whoever trusts in the Son possesses eternal life, but whoever refuses to trust in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God continues to remain on him.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews. ² He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him. ³ Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again? ⁵ Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth. ⁸ The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit. ⁹ And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be? ¹⁰ And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things? ¹¹ Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true. ¹² If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven? ¹³ And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man. ¹⁴ As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up: ¹⁵ So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life. ¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life. ¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him. ¹⁸ The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil. ²⁰ The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen. ²¹ But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God. ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism. ²³ Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism. ²⁴ For at this time John had not been put into prison. ²⁵ Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing. ²⁶ And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him. ²⁷ And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete. ³⁰ He has to become greater while I become less. ³¹ He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all. ³² He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true. ³³ He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands. ³⁶ He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² He came to Jesus by night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles which you do unless God is with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the 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. ⁷ Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again. ⁸ The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Are you the teacher of Israel and do not know these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak what we know and testify what we have seen. And you do not receive our witness. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. ¹⁴ But even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸ He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. ²¹ But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God. ²² After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea. And He stayed there with them and baptized. ²³ And John was also baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet been cast into prison. ²⁵ Then a question from John's disciples arose with the Jews about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, He who was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, He baptizes, and all come to Him! ²⁷ And John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from Heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear witness to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before Him. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom who stands and hears him rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Then my joy is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly and speaks from the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all, ³² and what He has seen and heard, that He testifies, and no one receives His testimony. ³³ He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true. ³⁴ For He whom God has sent speaks the Words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. ³⁶ He who believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ But there was a man from the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews. ² This one came to Jesus by night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know that You have come as a teacher from God. For no one is able to do these miracles which You do, except God be with Him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, if one does not receive birth from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to Him, How is a man able to be born, being old? He is not able to enter into his mother's womb a second time and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, if one does not receive birth out of water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That receiving birth from the flesh is flesh, and that receiving birth from the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not wonder because I told you, You must receive birth from above. ⁸ The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice; but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who has received birth from the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How can these things come about? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, You are the teacher of Israel, and you do not know these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, That which we know, we speak; and that which we have seen, we testify. And you do not receive our testimony. ¹² If I tell you earthly things, and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has gone up into Heaven, except He having come down out of Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. ¹⁴ And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸ The one believing into Him is not condemned; but the one not believing has already been condemned, for he has not believed into 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 more than the Light, for their works were evil. ²⁰ For everyone practicing wickedness hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, that his works may not be exposed. ²¹ But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God. ²² After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea. And He continued there with them and baptized. ²³ And John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, for many waters were there. And they came and were being baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet been thrown into the prison. ²⁵ Then a question from John's disciples arose with the Jews about purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Teacher, the one who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have witnessed, behold, this one baptizes, and all are coming to Him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man is able to receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves witness to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that having been sent, I am going before that One. ²⁹ The one having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. Then this my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ That One must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ The One coming from above is above all. The one being of the earth is earthy, and speaks of the earth. The One coming out of Heaven is above all. ³² And what He has seen and heard, this He testifies, and no one receives His testimony. ³³ The one receiving His testimony has sealed that God is true. ³⁴ For the One whom God sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. ³⁶ The one believing into the Son has everlasting life; but the one disobeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

THE SPIRIT BIRTH
And there is a human of the Pharisees; his name, Nicodemus - an arch of the Yah Hudiym: ² who comes to Yah Shua by night, and says to him, Rabbi, we know you are a doctor come from Elohim: for no one can do these signs you do unless Elohim be with him. ³ Yah Shua answers him, saying, Amen! Amen! I word to you, Unless one is birthed from above, he cannot see the sovereigndom of Elohim. ⁴ Nicodemus words to him, How can a human be birthed when he is old? Can he enter the womb of his mother a second time and be birthed? ⁵ Yah Shua answers, Amen! Amen! I word to you, Unless one is birthed of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter the sovereigndom of Elohim: ⁶ that birthed of the flesh is flesh; and that birthed of the Spirit is spirit: ⁷ marvel not that I say to you, you need to be birthed from above. ⁸ The Spirit puffs where he wills and you hear his voice; but know not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is everyone birthed of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answers him, saying, How can these be? ¹⁰ Yah Shua answers him, saying, You, a doctor of Yisra El, and know these not? ¹¹ Amen! Amen! I word to you, We speak what we know, and witness what we see; and you take not our witness: ¹² if I say to you of the earthly, and you trust not, how trust you, whenever I say to you of the heavenlies? ¹³ And no one ascends to the heavens, except whoever descends from the heavens - even the Son of humanity who is in the heavens. ¹⁴
ETERNAL LIFE
And exactly as Mosheh exalted the serpent in the wilderness, even thus must the Son of humanity be exalted: ¹⁵ so that whoever trusts in him destructs not, but has eternal life. ^{John 12:30-34} ¹⁶ For Elohim loved the cosmos thus: that he gave his only birthed Son; that whoever trusts in him destructs not but has eternal life. ¹⁷ For Elohim apostolized not his Son into the cosmos to judge the cosmos; but that the cosmos be saved through him. ¹⁸ Whoever trusts in him is not judged; but whoever trusts not is already judged: because he trusts not in the name of the only birthed Son of Elohim. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment: light comes into the cosmos, and men love darkness rather than light because their works are evil. ²⁰ For everyone doing evil hates the light; and comes not to the light lest his works be reproved: ²¹ but whoever does truth comes to the light, to manifest that his works are worked in Elohim. ²²
THE FINAL WITNESS OF BAPTIZER YAHN
After these, Yah Shua and his disciples go to the land of Yah Hudah; and he tarries with them, and baptizes: ²³ and Yahn also baptizes in Ainon near Shalem because there is much water there: and they come, and are baptized: ²⁴ for Yahn is not yet cast into the guardhouse. ²⁵ So there is a question between some of the disciples of Yahn and the Yah Hudiym about purifying: ²⁶ and they go to Yahn, and say to him, Rabbi, he who is with you beyond Yarden, to whom you witness, behold, he baptizes, and all go to him. ²⁷ Yahn answers, saying, Humanity can take naught unless it is given him from the heavens. ²⁸ You yourselves witnessed that I said, I am not the Messiah; but that I am apostolized ahead of him. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom who stands and hears him, cheers with cheer because of the voice of the bridegroom: so this my joy is fulfilled/shalamed. ³⁰ He must grow; and me to lessen: ³¹ He who comes from above is over all: He who is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth: whoever comes from the heavens is over all. ³² And what he see and hears, he witnesses; and no one takes his witness: ³³ whoever takes his witness sets his seal that Elohim is true: ³⁴ for he whom Elohim apostolizes speaks the rhema of Elohim: for Elohim gives him not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and gives all into his hand. ³⁶ He who trusts in the Son has eternal life: and he who distrusts the Son sees not life; but the wrath of Elohim abides on him.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a Pharisee, a leader of the Jews, named Nicodemus. ² This man went to Jesus one night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we [i.e., speaking of himself and other Jewish leaders] know that you are a Teacher sent from God, for no one could perform these [miraculous] signs that you are doing unless God were with Him.” ³ Jesus said to him, “Truly, truly, I tell you, a person cannot see the kingdom of God [i.e., enter it. See verse 5], unless he is born from above [Note: The words “from above” are also used in verse 31, but in this place they could also mean “again,” or “anew” and refer to the source of a person’s second birth]. ⁴ Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born [again] after he is [already] old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” ⁵ Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I tell you, a person cannot enter the kingdom of God unless he is born out of water and the Holy Spirit. ⁶ Whoever is born from human parents is a human being; and whoever is born from the Holy Spirit is a spiritual being. ⁷ So, do not be surprised that I have said to you, ‘You must be born from above.” [See note on verse 3]. ⁸ The wind blows wherever it wants to, and you can hear the sound of it, without knowing where it came from or where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born from the Holy Spirit.” ⁹ Then Nicodemus asked Jesus, “How can these things happen?” ¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you a teacher of the Israelites and [yet] you do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I tell you, we [i.e., Jesus and His disciples] speak about what we know, and testify about what we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe [it], how will you believe [it] if I tell you about heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has gone up to heaven except the One who has come down from heaven, [even] the Son of man. {{Most translations do not contain the added words “who is in heaven”}}. ¹⁴ And [just] like Moses lifted up the snake [on the pole] in the wilderness [Num. 21:9], so the Son of man must be lifted up [on the cross] ¹⁵ so that whoever believes in Him would have never ending life.” [Note: Some translations extend Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus through verse 21]. ¹⁶ For God loved the world [of sinners] so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that every person who believes in Him would not [have to] be destroyed, but have never ending life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to be its judge [i.e., to condemn it], but [rather] so that the people of the world could be saved [from condemnation] though Him. ¹⁸ The person who believes in Him will not be condemned, but the one who does not believe in Him has already been condemned, because he did not believe in the name of God’s one and only Son. ¹⁹ Now this is [how God’s] judgment [works]: The Light [See 1:5-9] has come into the world, but people loved darkness [i.e., sin] rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every person who practices evil things hates the light [of truth] and does not come to it, for fear of having his deeds exposed [as sinful]. ²¹ But the person who does what is [according to the] truth [i.e., good things] comes to the light so that his deeds may be shown to have been produced by God. ²² After this Jesus and His disciples went to the country-[side] of Judea and there they remained and immersed people. ²³ John [the Immerser] was also immersing people in Aenon, near Salem [Note: These locations are thought to have been in northeastern Judea, near the Jordan River], because there was a lot of water there; so people were coming to be immersed. ²⁴ Now John had not yet been thrown into prison. ²⁵ [About then] a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a Jew over ceremonial cleansing. ²⁶ These disciples went to John and said to him, “Rabbi, look, that man who was with you on the east side of the Jordan River [i.e., Jesus], whom you testified about, is immersing people and everyone is going to him.” [Note: Actually, it was Jesus’ disciples who did the immersing. See 4:2]. ²⁷ John replied to them, “A person cannot receive anything, unless it has been given to him from [God in] heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ [i.e., God’s specially chosen one] but [rather] that I was sent [by God] ahead of Him.’ ²⁹ The one who has the bride is the groom; but the best man, who stands up with him and listens to him [take his vows], is very happy when he hears him speak. So, [now] my joy is complete [i.e. over hearing about Jesus’ ministry]. ³⁰ He [i.e., Jesus] must increase [in importance and influence], while I must decrease.” ³¹ The One who comes from above [i.e., Jesus] ranks over all [others]; but the one who is out of the earth [i.e., of human origin] is [merely] an earthly [being] and he speaks in earthly [ways]. [But] the One who comes from heaven [i.e., Jesus] ranks over all [others]. ³² He testifies concerning what He has seen and heard, but no one accepts His testimony. ³³ The person who has accepted Jesus’ testimony has confirmed this [fact], that God is truthful. ³⁴ For the One whom God has sent [i.e., Jesus] speaks the words of God, for He [i.e., God] does not give the Holy Spirit in a limited quantity [i.e., to Jesus. See next verse]. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given everything into His hands [See Eph. 1:20-22]. ³⁶ The person who believes in the Son has never ending life, but the person who disobeys the Son will not see life [i.e., will not experience never ending life], but [instead], God’s wrath remains on him.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou have come a teacher from God, for no man can do these signs that thou do if God is not with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be begotten, being old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's belly, and be born? ⁵ Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is begotten from the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten from the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to thee, ye must be begotten from above. ⁸ The wind blows where it will, and thou hear the sound of it, but know not from where it comes, and where it goes. So is every man who is begotten from the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things happen? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Thou are the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to thee, we speak that which we know, and testify of what we have seen, and ye do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I told you earthly things, and ye do not believe, how will ye believe if I should tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no man has ascended into heaven, except he who came down out of heaven: the Son of man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent the Son into the world not that he might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every man who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed. ²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God. ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the Judean country. And he remained there with them and immersed. ²³ And John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Therefore a debate developed from John's disciples with the Jews about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent ahead of that man. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This therefore my joy is fulfilled. ³⁰ It is necessary for that man to increase, but me to decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all things. He who is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all things. ³² And what he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no man receives his testimony. ³³ He who has received his testimony has set a seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God sent speaks the sayings of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him." ³ Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus said to 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?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' ⁸ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus said to him, "How can this be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and testify to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ No one has ascended into heaven, but he who came from heaven the Son of Man. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. ²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done in God." ²² After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea, and there he remained with them and baptized. ²³ Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet been put in prison. ²⁵ Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified behold, he is baptizing, and all are going to him." ²⁷ John answered, "A man can receive only what is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but I have been sent before him. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice.

1 G2258 Now there was G1161 a G444 man G1537 of G5330 the Pharisees G3686 named G846 Nicodemus, G758 a ruler G2453 of the Jews.

2 G3778 The same G2064 came G4314 to G2424 him G3571 by night, G2532 and G2036 said G846 to him, G4461 "Rabbi, G1492 we know G3754 that G2064 you are G1320 a teacher G2064 come G575 from G2316 God, G1063 for G3762 no one G1410 can G4160 do G5023 these G4592 signs G3739 that G4771 you G1437 do, G3361 unless G2316 God G5600 is G3326 with G846 him."

3 G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2532 G2036 G846 him, G281 "Most G281 certainly, G3004 I tell G1437 you, G3361 unless G5100 one G1080 is born G509 anew, G3756 he can't G1410 G1492 see G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God."

4 G3530 Nicodemus G3004 said G4314 to G846 him, G4459 "How G1410 can G444 a man G1080 be born G5607 when he is G3361 old? G1410 Can he G1525 enter G1208 a second time G1519 into G846 his G3384 mother's G2836 womb, G2532 and G1080 be born?"

5 G2424 Jesus G611 answered, G281 "Most G281 certainly G3004 I tell G1437 you, G3361 unless G5100 one G1080 is born G1537 of G5204 water G2532 and G4151 spirit, G3756 he can't G1410 G1525 enter G1519 into G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God!

6 G1080 That which is born G1537 of G4561 the flesh G2076 is G4561 flesh. G2532 That G1080 which is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit G2076 is G4151 spirit.

7 G3361 Don't G2296 marvel G3754 that G2036 I said G4671 to you, G5209 ‘You G1163 must G1080 be born G509 anew.'

8 G4151 The wind G4154 blows G3699 where G2309 it wants G2532 to, and G191 you hear G5456 its sound, G846 G235 but G3756 don't G1492 know G1492 G4159 where G2064 it comes G2532 from and G4226 where G5217 it is going. G3779 So G2076 is G3956 everyone G1080 who is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit."

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 answered G2532 G2036 G846 him, G4459 "How G1410 can G5023 these things G1096 be?"

10 G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2532 G2036 G846 him, G1488 "Are G4771 you G1320 the teacher G2474 of Israel, G2532 and G3756 don't G1097 understand G5023 these things?

11 G281 Most G281 certainly G2980 I tell G3754 you, G3004 we speak G3739 that G1492 which we know, G2532 and G2980 testify G3739 of that G3708 which we have seen, G2532 and G3756 you don't G2983 receive G2257 our G3141 witness.

12 G1487 If G2036 I told G5213 you G1919 earthly things G2532 and G3756 you don't G4100 believe, G4459 how G4100 will you believe G1437 if G2036 I tell G5213 you G2032 heavenly things?

13 G2532 No G3762 one G305 has ascended G1519 into G1487 heaven, G3361 but G3588 he who G2597 descended G1537 out G3772 of heaven, G5207 the Son G444 of Man, G5607 who is G1722 in G3772 heaven.

14 G2532 G2531 As G3475 Moses G5312 lifted up G3789 the serpent G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G3779 even so G1163 must G5207 the Son G444 of Man G5312 be lifted up,

15 G2443 that G3956 whoever G4100 believes G1519 in G846 him G622 should G3361 not G622 perish, G235 but G2192 have G166 eternal G2222 life.

16 G1063 For G2316 God G3779 so G25 loved G2889 the world, G5620 that G1325 he gave G846 his G3439 one and only G5207 Son, G2443 that G3956 whoever G4100 believes G1519 in G846 him G622 should G3361 not G622 perish, G235 but G2192 have G166 eternal G2222 life.

17 G1063 For G2316 God G3756 didn't G649 send G846 his G5207 Son G1519 into G2889 the world G2443 to G2919 judge G2889 the world, G235 but G2443 that G2889 the world G4982 should be saved G1223 through G846 him.

18 G4100 He who believes G846 in him G2919 is G3756 not G2919 judged. G1161 He G3361 who doesn't G4100 believe G4100 has G2919 been judged G2235 already, G3754 because G4100 he has G3361 not G4100 believed G1519 in G3686 the name G3439 of the one and only G5207 Son G2316 of God.

19 G1161 G3778 This G2076 is G2920 the judgment, G3754 that G5457 the light G2064 has come G1519 into G2889 the world, G2532 and G444 men G25 loved G4655 the darkness G3123 rather G2228 than G5457 the light; G1063 for G846 their G2041 works G2258 were G4190 evil.

20 G1063 For G3956 everyone G4238 who does G5337 evil G3404 hates G2532 the light, G3756 and doesn't G2064 come G4314 to G2443 the light, G3361 lest G846 his G2041 works G1651 would be exposed.

21 G1161 But G4160 he who does G225 the truth G2064 comes G4314 to G5457 the light, G2443 that G846 his G2041 works G5319 may be revealed, G3754 that G2076 they have G2038 been done G1722 in G2316 God."

22 G3326 After G5023 these things, G2424 Jesus G2064 came G2532 with G846 his G3101 disciples G1519 into G1093 the land G2453 of Judea. G2532 He G1304 stayed G1563 there G3326 with G846 them, G2532 and G907 baptized.

23 G2491 John G2532 also G2258 was G907 baptizing G1722 in G137 Enon G1451 near G4530 Salim, G3754 because G1563 there G2258 was G4183 much G5204 water G1563 there. G2532 They G3854 came, G2532 and G907 were baptized.

24 G1063 For G2491 John G2258 was G3768 not yet G906 thrown G1519 into G5438 prison.

25 G1096 There arose G3767 therefore G2214 a questioning G3326 on the part G1537 of G2491 John's G3101 disciples G3326 with G2453 some Jews G4012 about G2512 purification.

26 G2532 They G2064 came G4314 to G2491 John, G2532 and G2036 said G846 to him, G4461 "Rabbi, G3739 he G2258 who was G3326 with G4675 you G4008 beyond G2446 the Jordan, G3739 to whom G4771 you G3140 have testified, G1492 behold, G3778 the same G907 baptizes, G2532 and G3956 everyone G2064 is coming G4314 to G846 him."

27 G2491 John G611 answered, G2532 G2036 G3756 "A G444 man G1410 can G2983 receive G1437 nothing, G3361 unless G5600 it has been G1325 given G846 him G1537 from G3772 heaven.

28 G5210 You G846 yourselves G3140 G3140 testify G3427 G3754 that G1473 I G2036 said, G1473 ‘I G1510 am G3756 not G5547 the Christ,' G235 but, G3754 G649 ‘I have been sent G1715 before G1565 him.'

29 G2192 He who has G3565 the bride G2076 is G3566 the bridegroom; G1161 but G5384 the friend G3566 of the bridegroom, G2476 who stands G2532 and G191 hears G846 him, G5463 rejoices G5479 greatly G1223 because G5456 of the G3566 bridegroom's G5456 voice. G3778 This, G1699 my G5479 joy, G3767 therefore G4137 is made full.

30 G1565 He G1163 must G837 increase, G1161 but G1691 I G1642 must decrease.

31 G2064 He who comes G509 from above G2076 is G1883 above G3956 all. G5607 He who is G1537 from G1093 the earth G2076 belongs G1537 to G1093 the earth, G2532 and G2980 speaks G1537 of G1093 the earth. G2064 He who comes G1537 from G3772 heaven G2076 is G1883 above G3956 all.

32 G2532 G3739 What G3708 he has seen G2532 and G191 heard, G5124 of that G3140 he testifies; G2532 and G3762 no one G2983 receives G846 his G3141 witness.

33 G2983 He who has received G846 his G846 witness has set his G4972 seal G3754 to this, that G2316 God G2076 is G227 true.

34 G1063 For G3739 he whom G2316 God G649 has sent G2980 speaks G4487 the words G2316 of God; G1063 for G2316 God G1325 gives G4151 the Spirit G3756 G1537 without G3358 measure.

35 G3962 The Father G25 loves G5207 the Son, G2532 and G1325 has given G3956 all things G1722 into G846 his G5495 hand.

36 G4100 One who believes G1519 in G5207 the Son G2192 has G166 eternal G2222 life, G1161 but G544 one who disobeys G5207 the Son G3700 G3756 won't G3700 see G2222 life, G235 but G3709 the wrath G2316 of God G3306 remains G1909 on G846 him."

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people. ² This man came to him at night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him." ³ Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not be surprised that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' ⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can these things be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him may have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God loved the world in this way: He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. ¹⁸ The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. ¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their works were evil. ²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works will not be exposed. ²¹ But the one who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God." ²² After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them, and baptized. ²³ Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet thrown into prison. ²⁵ Now a dispute arose between John's disciples with a Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, look, he is baptizing, and everyone is coming to him." ²⁷ John answered, "No one can receive anything, unless it has been given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before him.' ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine is now complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. ³² What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness. ³³ He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for he does not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has everlasting life, but whoever refuses to believe in the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: ² The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him. ³ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said to 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again. ⁸ The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Are you a master of Israel, and know not these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness. ¹² If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? ¹³ And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ That whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not 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. ²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God. ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all. ³² And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no man receives his testimony. ³³ He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God stays on him.

1 G444 There was a man G5330 of the Pharisees, G3686 named G3530 Nicodemus, G758 a ruler G2453 of the Jews:

2 G3778 The same G2064 came G2424 to Jesus G3571 by night, G2036 and said G4461 to him, Rabbi, G1492 we know G1320 that you are a teacher G2064 come G2316 from God: G3762 for no G3762 man G1410 can G4160 do G5023 these G4592 miracles G4160 that you do, G3362 except G2316 God be with him.

5 G2424 Jesus G611 answered, G281 Truly, G281 truly, G3004 I say G3362 to you, Except G5100 a man G1080 be born G5204 of water G4151 and of the Spirit, G3756 he cannot G1410 G1525 enter G1519 into G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.

6 G1080 That which is born G4561 of the flesh G4561 is flesh; G1080 and that which is born G4151 of the Spirit G4151 is spirit.

7 G2296 Marvel G2036 not that I said G1163 to you, You must G1080 be born G509 again.

8 G4151 The wind G4154 blows G3699 where G2309 it wants, G191 and you hear G5456 the sound G846 thereof, G1492 but can G1492 not tell G4159 from where G2064 it comes, G4226 and where G5217 it goes: G3779 so G3956 is every G1080 one that is born G4151 of the Spirit.

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 answered G2036 and said G4459 to him, How G1410 can G5023 these things be?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2036 and said G1488 to him, Are G1320 you a master G2474 of Israel, G1097 and know G5023 not these things?

11 G281 Truly, G281 truly, G3004 I say G2980 to you, We speak G1492 that we do know, G3140 and testify G3708 that we have seen; G2983 and you receive G3141 not our witness.

12 G1487 If G2036 I have told G1919 you earthly G4100 things, and you believe G4459 not, how G4100 shall you believe, G1437 if G2036 I tell G2032 you of heavenly things?

13 G3762 And no G3762 man G305 has ascended G3772 up to heaven, G2597 but he that came G2597 down G3772 from heaven, G5207 even the Son G444 of man G3588 which G3772 is in heaven.

14 G3475 And as Moses G5312 lifted G3789 up the serpent G2048 in the wilderness, G3779 even so G1163 must G5207 the Son G444 of man G5312 be lifted up:

15 G3956 That whoever G3588 G4100 believes G622 in him should not perish, G2192 but have G166 eternal G2222 life.

16 G2316 For God G3779 so G25 loved G2889 the world, G1325 that he gave G3439 his only G3439 begotten G5207 Son, G3956 that whoever G3588 G4100 believes G622 in him should not perish, G2192 but have G166 everlasting G2222 life.

17 G2316 For God G649 sent G5207 not his Son G1519 into G2889 the world G2919 to condemn G2889 the world; G2889 but that the world G1223 through G4982 him might be saved.

18 G4100 He that believes G1519 on G2919 him is not condemned: G4100 but he that believes G2919 not is condemned G2235 already, G3754 because G4100 he has not believed G3686 in the name G3439 of the only G3439 begotten G5207 Son G2316 of God.

19 G3778 And this G2920 is the condemnation, G5457 that light G2064 is come G1519 into G2889 the world, G444 and men G25 loved G4655 darkness G3123 rather G2228 than G5457 light, G1063 because G2041 their deeds G4190 were evil.

20 G3956 For every G4160 one that does G5337 evil G3404 hates G5457 the light, G2532 neither G3756 G2064 comes G5457 to the light, G2443 lest G3361 G2041 his deeds G1651 should be reproved.

21 G4160 But he that does G225 truth G2064 comes G5457 to the light, G2041 that his deeds G5319 may be made G5319 manifest, G2038 that they are worked G2316 in God.

22 G3326 After G5023 these G2064 things came G2424 Jesus G3101 and his disciples G1519 into G1093 the land G2449 of Judaea; G1563 and there G1304 he tarried G907 with them, and baptized.

23 G2491 And John G2532 also G907 was baptizing G137 in Aenon G1451 near G4530 to Salim, G3754 because G4183 there was much G5204 water G1563 there: G3854 and they came, G907 and were baptized.

24 G2491 For John G3768 was not yet G906 cast G1519 into G5438 prison.

25 G3767 Then G1096 there arose G2214 a question G1537 between G3326 G2491 some of John’s G3101 disciples G2453 and the Jews G4012 about G2512 purifying.

26 G2064 And they came G2491 to John, G2036 and said G4461 to him, Rabbi, G4008 he that was with you beyond G2446 Jordan, G3739 to whom G3140 you bore G3140 witness, G2396 behold, G3778 the same G907 baptizes, G3956 and all G2064 men come to him.

27 G2491 John G611 answered G2036 and said, G444 A man G1410 can G2983 receive G3762 nothing, G3362 except G1325 it be given G3772 him from heaven.

28 G5210 You yourselves G846 G3140 bear G3140 me witness, G2036 that I said, G1510 I am G5547 not the Christ, G1510 but that I am G649 sent G1715 before him.

29 G2192 He that has G3565 the bride G3566 is the bridegroom: G5384 but the friend G3566 of the bridegroom, G3588 which G2476 stands G191 and hears G5463 him, rejoices G5479 greatly G1223 because G3566 of the bridegroom’s G5456 voice: G3778 this G5479 my joy G3767 therefore G4137 is fulfilled.

30 G1163 He must G837 increase, G1642 but I must decrease.

31 G2064 He that comes G509 from above G1883 is above G3956 all: G1093 he that is of the earth G1537 is earthly, G3588 G1093 G2980 and speaks G1093 of the earth: G2064 he that comes G3772 from heaven G1883 is above G3956 all.

32 G3739 And what G3708 he has seen G191 and heard, G3140 that he testifies; G3762 and no G3762 man G2983 receives G3141 his testimony.

33 G2983 He that has received G3141 his testimony G4972 has set G4972 to his seal G2316 that God G227 is true.

34 G3739 For he whom G2316 God G649 has sent G2980 speaks G4487 the words G2316 of God: G2316 for God G1325 gives G4151 not the Spirit G3358 by measure to him.

35 G3962 The Father G25 loves G5207 the Son, G1325 and has given G3956 all G1722 things into G5495 his hand.

36 G4100 He that believes G1519 on G5207 the Son G2192 has G166 everlasting G2222 life: G544 and he that believes G5207 not the Son G3700 shall not see G2222 life; G3709 but the wrath G2316 of God G3306 stays G1909 on him.

4 G3530 Nicodemus G3004 said G4314 unto G846 him, G4459 How G1410 can G444 a man G1080 be born G5607 when he is G3361 old? G1410 Can he G1525 enter G1208 the second time G1519 into G846 his G3384 mother's G2836 womb, G2532 and G1080 be born?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 answered, G281 Truly, G281 truly, G3004 I say G1437 unto you, G3361 Unless G5100 a man G1080 is born G1537 of G5204 water G2532 and G4151 of the Spirit, G1410 he can G3756 not G1525 enter G1519 into G932 the kingdom G2316 of God.

6 G1080 That which is born G1537 of G4561 the flesh G2076 is G4561 flesh; G2532 and G1080 that which is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit G2076 is G4151 spirit.

7 G2296 Marvel G3361 not G3754 that G2036 I said G4671 unto you, G5209 You G1163 must G1080 be born G509 again.

8 G4151 The wind G4154 blows G3699 where G2309 it wants, G2532 and G191 you hear G5456 the sound G846 there, G235 but G1492 can G3756 not G1492 tell G4159 from where G2064 it comes, G2532 and G4226 where G5217 it goes: G3779 so G2076 is G3956 every G1080 one that is born G1537 of G4151 the Spirit.

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 answered G2532 and G2036 said G846 unto him, G4459 How G1410 can G5023 these things G1096 be?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 answered G2532 and G2036 said G846 unto him, G1488 Are G4771 you G1320 a master G2474 of Israel, G2532 and G1097 know G3756 not G5023 these things?

11 G281 Truly, G281 truly, G3004 I say G3754 unto you, G2980 We speak G3739 of what G1492 we do know, G2532 and G3140 testify G3739 what G3708 we have seen; G2532 and G2983 you receive G3756 not G2257 our G3141 witness.

12 G1487 If G2036 I have told G5213 you G1919 earthly things, G2532 and G4100 you believe G3756 not, G4459 how G4100 shall you believe, G1437 if G2036 I tell G5213 you G2032 of heavenly things?

13 G2532 And G3762 no man G305 has ascended up G1519 to G1487 heaven, G3361 but G3588 he that G2597 came down G1537 from G3772 heaven, G5207 even the Son G444 of man G5607 which is G1722 in G3772 heaven.

14 G2532 And G2531 as G3475 Moses G5312 lifted up G3789 the serpent G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G3779 even so G1163 must G5207 the Son G444 of man G5312 be lifted up:

15 G2443 That G3956 whoever G4100 believes G1519 in G846 him G622 should G3361 not G622 perish, G235 but G2192 have G166 eternal G2222 life.

16 G1063 For G2316 God G3779 so G25 loved G2889 the world, G5620 that G1325 he gave G846 his G3439 only begotten G5207 Son, G2443 that G3956 whoever G4100 believes G1519 in G846 him G622 should G3361 not G622 perish, G235 but G2192 have G166 everlasting G2222 life.

17 G1063 For G2316 God G649 sent G3756 not G846 his G5207 Son G1519 into G2889 the world G2443 to G2919 condemn G2889 the world; G235 but G2443 that G2889 the world G1223 through G846 him G4982 might be saved.

18 G4100 He that believes G1519 on G846 him G2919 is G3756 not G2919 condemned: G1161 but G4100 he that believes G3361 not G2919 is condemned G2235 already, G3754 because G4100 he has G3361 not G4100 believed G1519 in G3686 the name G3439 of the only fathered G5207 Son G2316 of God.

19 G1161 And G3778 this G2076 is G2920 the condemnation, G3754 that G5457 light G2064 is come G1519 into G2889 the world, G2532 and G444 men G25 loved G4655 darkness G3123 rather G2228 than G5457 light, G1063 because G846 their G2041 deeds G2258 were G4190 evil.

20 G1063 For G3956 every G4238 one that does G5337 evil G3404 hates G2532 the light, G3756 neither G2064 comes G4314 to G2443 the light, G3361 lest G846 his G2041 deeds G1651 should be reproved.

21 G1161 But G4160 he that does G225 truth G2064 comes G4314 to G5457 the light, G2443 that G846 his G2041 deeds G5319 may be made manifest, G3754 that G2076 they are G2038 done G1722 in G2316 God.

22 G3326 After G5023 these things G2064 came G2424 Jesus G2532 and G846 his G3101 disciples G1519 into G1093 the land G2453 of Judæa; G2532 and G1563 there G1304 he stayed G3326 with G846 them, G2532 and G907 baptized.

23 G1161 And G2491 John G2532 also G2258 was G907 baptizing G1722 in G137 Ænon G1451 near G4530 to Salim, G3754 because G2258 there was G4183 much G5204 water G1563 there: G2532 and G3854 they came, G2532 and G907 were baptized.

24 G1063 For G2491 John G2258 was G3768 not yet G906 cast G1519 into G5438 prison.

25 G3767 Then G1096 there arose G2214 a question G3326 between G1537 some of G2491 John's G3101 disciples G3326 and G2453 the Jews G4012 about G2512 purifying.

26 G2532 And G2064 they came G4314 to G2491 John, G2532 and G2036 said G846 to him, G4461 Rabbi, G3739 he G2258 that was G3326 with G4675 you G4008 beyond G2446 Jordan, G3739 to whom G4771 you G3140 bore witness, G1492 behold, G3778 the same G907 baptizes, G2532 and G3956 all G2064 men come G4314 to G846 him.

27 G2491 John G611 answered G2532 and G2036 said, G444 A man G3756 G1410 can G2983 receive G1437 nothing, G3361 except G5600 it is G1325 given G846 him G1537 from G3772 heaven.

28 G5210 You G846 yourselves G3140 bear G3427 me G3140 witness, G3754 that G2036 I said, G1473 I G1510 am G3756 not G5547 the Christ, G235 but G3754 that G1510 I am G649 sent G1715 before G1565 him.

29 G2192 He that has G3565 the bride G2076 is G3566 the bridegroom: G1161 but G5384 the friend G3566 of the bridegroom, G2476 which stands G2532 and G191 hears G846 him, G5463 rejoices G5479 greatly G1223 because G5456 of the G3566 bridegroom's G5456 voice: G3778 this G1699 my G5479 joy G3767 therefore G4137 is fulfilled.

30 G1565 He G1163 must G837 increase, G1161 but G1691 I G1642 must decrease.

31 G2064 He that comes G509 from above G2076 is G1883 above G3956 all: G5607 he that is G1537 of G1093 the earth G2076 is G1537 G1093 earthly, G2532 and G2980 speaks G1537 of G1093 the earth: G2064 he that comes G1537 from G3772 heaven G2076 is G1883 above G3956 all.

32 G2532 And G3739 what G3708 he has seen G2532 and G191 heard, G5124 that G3140 he testifies; G2532 and G3762 no man G2983 receives G846 his G3141 testimony.

33 G2983 He that has received G846 his G3141 testimony G4972 has set to his seal G3754 that G2316 God G2076 is G227 true.

34 G1063 For G3739 he whom G2316 God G649 has sent G2980 speaks G4487 the words G2316 of God: G1063 for G2316 God G1325 gives G3756 not G4151 the Spirit G1537 by G3358 measure to him.

35 G3962 The Father G25 loves G5207 the Son, G2532 and G1325 has given G3956 all things G1722 into G846 his G5495 hand.

36 G4100 He that believes G1519 on G5207 the Son G2192 has G166 everlasting G2222 life: G1161 and G544 he that believes not G5207 the Son G3700 shall G3756 not G3700 see G2222 life; G235 but G3709 the wrath G2316 of God G3306 stays G1909 on G846 him.

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews, ² this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God you have come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that you do, if God may not be with him.' ³ Jesus answered and said to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;' ⁴ Nicodemus said unto him, 'How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?' ⁵ Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God; ⁶ 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 behooves you to be born from above; ⁸ the Spirit where he wills does blow, and his voice you do hear, but you have not known whence he comes, and whither he goes; thus is every one who has been born of the Spirit.' ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, 'How are these things able to happen?' ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, 'You art the teacher of Israel -- and these things you do not know! ¹¹ 'Verily, verily, I say to you -- What we have known we speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony you do not receive; ¹² if the earthly things I said to you, and you do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will you believe? ¹³ and no one has gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down -- the Son of Man who is in the heaven. ¹⁴ 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, ¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him; 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. ¹⁹ 'And this is the judgment, that the light has come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil; ²⁰ for every one who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected; ²¹ but he who is doing the truth does come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.' ²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing; ²³ and John was also baptizing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized -- ²⁴ for John was not yet cast into the prison -- ²⁵ there arose then a question from the disciples of John with some Jews about purifying, ²⁶ and they came unto John, and said to him, 'Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you did testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.' ²⁷ John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven; ²⁸ you yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him; ²⁹ he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy does rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ 'Him it behooves to increase, and me to become less; ³¹ he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; he who from the heaven is coming is above all. ³² 'And what he has seen and heard this he does testify, and his testimony none receives; ³³ he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true; ³⁴ for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaks; for not by measure does God give the Spirit; ³⁵ the Father does love the Son, and all things has given into his hand; ³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, has life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God does remain upon him.'

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a prince 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 one can do these signs that thou doest unless God is with him. ³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a person be born again from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus said 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? ⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Unless a man is born of water and of the 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. ⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again from above. ⁸ The wind blows where it desires, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell from where it comes or where it goes; so is every one that is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can this be done? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel and knowest not this? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee that we speak what we know and testify that which we have seen, and ye do not receive our witness. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and ye do not believe, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended up to the heaven but he that came down from the heaven, even the Son of man, who is in the heaven. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believes on him is not condemned, but he that does not believe is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness more than the light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one that does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. ²² ¶ After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea, and he tarried there with them and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim because there was much water there, and they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there arose a question between the disciples of John and the Jews about purifying. ²⁶ And they came unto John and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan of whom thou gave witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing except it is given him from the heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves are my witnesses that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ It is expedient unto him to increase, but unto me, to decrease. ³¹ He that comes from above is above all; he that is of the earth is earthly and speaks earthly things: he that comes from heaven is above all. ³² And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure unto him. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes in the Son has eternal life, and he that does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to Him by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." ³ Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born, being old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' ⁸ "The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its sound, but you do not know from where it comes and where it goes. So is everyone who has been born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, "How can these things be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? ¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, that which We know, We speak, and that which We have seen, We bear witness to, and you do not receive Our witness. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven except He who came down out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world so that He might condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ¹⁸ He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil. ²⁰ For everyone that does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works be exposed. ²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God." ²² After these things Jesus, along with His disciples, came into the land of Judea, and there He was staying with them and He was baptizing. ²³ Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salem, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Then there came to be a dispute between John's disciples and a Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified--behold, this Man is baptizing, and all men are coming to Him!" ²⁷ John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent before Him.' ²⁹ "He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the voice of the bridegroom. Therefore my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. ³² And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. ³³ He who receives His testimony has certified that God is true. ³⁴ For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not believe the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man among the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² The same went to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come as a teacher from God, because no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” ³ Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten from above he is not able to see the kingdom of God.” ⁴ Nicodemus says to Him, “How can a man be begotten, being old? He can’t enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” ⁵ Jesus answered: “Most assuredly I say to you, unless someone is begotten by water and Spirit he is not able to enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which has been begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which has been begotten by the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Don’t be perplexed that I said to you, ‘You (pl) need to be begotten from above.’ ⁸ The wind blows where it wishes, and you (sg) hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who has been begotten by the Spirit.” ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?” ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to Him: “You are the teacher of Israel, yet you don’t understand these things? ¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive our testimony. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly? ¹³ No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven—the Son of Man, who is in Heaven. ¹⁴ Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of Man must be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted but should have eternal life. ¹⁶ Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted but should have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸ The one believing into Him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ “Now this is the basis for the condemning, that the Light has come into the world, but the people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were malignant. ²⁰ For whoever practices evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light so that his deeds may not be exposed. ²¹ But whoever does the truth comes to the light so that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they are done in God.” ²² After these things Jesus, with His disciples, went into the Judean countryside, and there He spent time with them and baptized. ²³ Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salem, because there was plenty of water there. And people were coming and being baptized, ²⁴ for John had not yet been thrown into prison. ²⁵ Then some of John’s disciples had an argument with a Judean about purification. ²⁶ So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the One who was with you across the Jordan, about whom you have testified—well, here He is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to Him!” ²⁷ John answered and said: “A person can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’ ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom’s voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ “He who comes from above is above all; he who is from the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from Heaven is above all. ³² And to what He has seen and heard He testifies, yet no one receives His testimony. ³³ The one who receives His testimony certifies that God is true. ³⁴ For He whom God sent speaks God’s words, because God does not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. ³⁶ The one believing into the Son has eternal life, but the one disobeying the Son will not see the life, but the wrath of God will remain upon him.”

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man from out of the Pharisees, Nicodemus by name, a ruler (leader; chief; head man) of the Jews (= Jewish culture, political organization and religion). ² This one comes (or: goes; came; went) to Him by night, and says (or: said) to Him, "Rabbi, we have seen and thus know that You are a Teacher having come, and are here, from God, for no one is able (or: continues having power) to constantly be doing (making; producing) these signs (or: habitually performing these authenticating tokens and attesting signals), which You are constantly doing (performing; producing), unless God would continue being with him (or: if God should not be constantly with him)." ³ Jesus considered, and replies to him, saying, "Certainly it is so, I am saying (= I now point out) to you, unless anyone (or: someone) may be born back up again to a higher place (or: can be brought to birth again; or: would be given birth from above), he continues having no power (or: he is continuously unable) to see or perceive God’s reign, sovereign influence/activity, or kingdom." ⁴ Nicodemus says to Him, "How does a man continue being able to be born, being an old man? He is not able (or: He remains powerless) to enter into his mother’s womb (cavity; belly) a second [time] and be born!" ⁵ Jesus decisively replies, "Certainly that is so. I am now saying (laying it out; = pointing out) to you, unless anyone (or: someone) may be born forth from out of water and spirit (or: – as well as Breath-effect and attitude –) he continues being unable (he remains having no power) to enter into God’s realm (or: reign; kingdom; sovereign activity and influence). ⁶ "The thing being birthed, having been born forth from out of the flesh, is flesh (or: from the estranged human nature, continues being the estranged human nature; or: = from out of flesh system is a flesh system), and the thing being birthed, having been born forth from out of the Spirit, is spirit (or: what is birthed out of the Breath-effect continues being Breath-effect; or: what is born from the Attitude is an attitude). ⁷ "You should not be amazed (or: begin to marvel; at some point be filled with wonder; suddenly be astonished; or: Don't be surprised) that I said to you, 'It is necessary and binding for you folks to be born back up again to a higher place (or: for you people to be given birth from above).' ⁸ "The Spirit (or: Breath; Attitude) habitually breathes and blows where It (or: He) is presently intending (willing; purposing), and you continually hear It’s (or: His) voice, but yet you have not seen, and thus do not know, from what source It continuously comes, and where It goes and brings [things and folks] under control. (or: The wind constantly blows where it presently sets its will, and you constantly hear it’s sound, but yet you have not seen and do not know from where it is coming, nor where it is going; or: = The wind continuously blows and the Spirit normally breathes – in the place that each has purpose. And so you are often hearing the sound that either make, although you have not perceived from what place it is presently coming, as well as to what place it is presently leading, under [its influence or control].) Thus is everyone (or: does everyone constantly exist being) – the one being birthed, having been born forth from out of the midst of the Spirit (or: Breath; Attitude)." ⁹ Nicodemus considered in reply, and says to Him, "How is it possible for these things to occur (or: How can these things come to be; How is it repeatedly able [for] these to come to birth)?" ¹⁰ Jesus decisively responded and says to him, "You yourself are the teacher of Israel, and yet you continue not knowing and being intimately familiar with these things! ¹¹ "Certainly it is so, I am now saying to you, that which we have seen and thus know (or: perceive), we are constantly speaking (or: telling; chattering [about]), and what we have caught sight of and seen we repeatedly bear witness of (constantly give testimony to), and you folks continue not receiving (or: none of you are laying hold of) our witness (or: testimony; evidence). ¹² "Since I tell (or: If I told) you folks the earthly things (or: ones; situations), and you folks are not continuing in belief (do not presently believe; are not proceeding to trust), how will you continue to believe or trust if I should speak to you the things (or: situations; ones) upon the heavens (or: the super-heavenly occurrences; the fully-heavenly things [taking place]; the things or folks being in a position of control upon the atmospheres)? ¹³ "Furthermore, no one has ascended (or: stepped up) into the heaven (or: atmosphere) except the One descending (or: stepping down) from out of the midst of the atmosphere (or: heaven): the Son of Mankind (the Son of the human; Humanity’s Son; the Son of man) – the One continuously being (or: constantly existing) within the midst of the heaven (or: atmosphere). [with p66 & 75, Aleph, B and others: And yet not even one person climbed up into heaven (or: the sky), if not that one at one point descending from out of the midst of heaven (or: the sky) – the Human Being.] ¹⁴ "And so, just as (or: correspondingly as) Moses lifted up (elevated; raised up high) the serpent, within the wilderness (desert; desolate place) [Num. 21:7ff], thus it is necessary and binding for the Son of Mankind (Humanity’s Son) to be lifted up (elevated; raised up high; exalted), ¹⁵ "to the end that everyone – the one habitually believing and trusting – would continuously have eonian life (life having the state of being, qualities and characteristics of the sphere pertaining to the Age [of the Messiah]; age-quality and eon-lasting life): within (or: in union with) Him! [with other MSS: so that all, while continuously trusting into Him {others: on Him}, may not lose or destroy themselves, but rather may habitually hold age-abiding life (eonian life; life that continues on through the ages).] ¹⁶ "For thus God loves the world (the universe; the ordered arrangement; the organized system [of life and society]; or: = all mankind), so that He gives His uniquely-born [with other MSS: the only-begotten] Son, (or, reading wste as an adverb: You see, in this manner God loves the sum total of created beings as being the Son: He gives the Only-begotten One; or: reading wV te: For you see, [it is] in this way [that] God loves the aggregate of humanity – even as it were His Son: He gives the uniquely-born One), to the end that all (or: everyone) – the one habitually believing, putting confidence and trusting into Him – would not lose or destroy himself, or cause himself to fall into ruin, but rather can continuously have (or: would habitually possess and hold) eonian life (age-durative life with qualities derived from the Age [of the Messiah]; living existence of and for the ages). [note 1): I have here given the “fact” sense of the aorist tense of the verbs “love” and “give” rather than the simple past tense. The statement by Jesus is a “timeless” fact of God; it signifies that the object of His love and His gift (that object being the cosmos, the universe, the world of men and created beings) is in view as a whole, and both the love and the gift are presented as fact, as one complete whole (punctiliar) which exists apart from any sense of time (i.e., coming from the realm or sphere of the “eternal,” or, “the Being of God;” note 2): Paul Tillich defines "love" (agape): the whole being's drive and movement toward reunion with another, to overcome existential separation; an ecstatic manifestation of the Spiritual Presence; acceptance of the object of love without restriction, in spite of the estranged, profanized and demonized state of the object; – Systematic Theology III, pp 134-138] ¹⁷ "For God does not send forth His [other MSS: the] Son as an Emissary, or Representative, into the world (or: System; aggregate of humanity) to the end that He should continuously separate and make decisions about the world (or: would at some point sift and judge the System, or the aggregate of humanity), but to the contrary, to the end that the world would be delivered (or: that the System could be healed and made whole; that the ordered arrangement should be restored to health; that the aggregate of mankind may be saved – rescued and re-established in its original state): through Him! ¹⁸ "The one habitually believing and progressively placing trust into Him is not being continuously sifted or evaluated (is not habitually being separated for decisions or being judged). The one not habitually trusting and believing has already been sifted and evaluated (separated for a decision; judged) and that decision yet exists, because he has not believed so that he trusts into the Name [note: “name” is a Semitism for the person, or his authority, or his qualities] of the uniquely-born Son of God (or: into God’s Son – the only-begotten One). ¹⁹ "Now this continues being the (or: So there continues being the same) process of the sifting, the separation and the decision (the evaluation; the judging), because the Light has come (or: has gone) into the world (the aggregate of humanity; the ordered system and arrangement of religion, culture and government; or: the system of control and regulation), and yet the humans love the darkness (or: the men [= the leadership] love the dimness of obscurity and gloom; or: mankind loved the shadow-realm) rather than the Light, for their works (deeds; actions) were continuing to be bad ones (unsound ones; wicked ones; laborious ones; toilsome ones that created bad news; wrongful ones), ²⁰ "for everyone [who is] habitually practicing (or: performing) worthless things (base, mean, common, careless, cheap, slight, paltry, sorry, vile things or refuse) is continuously hating (regarding with ill-will) the light, and is not coming (or: going) to the light (or: the Light), so that his works (deeds; actions) may not be tested and put to the proof (and thus, exposed and perhaps reproved). ²¹ "Yet the one habitually doing the truth (constantly constructing the real; repeatedly making the genuine) is constantly coming (or: going; moving) toward the light (or: the Light), so that his works (deeds; actions) may be set in clear light and manifested, because they exist being ones having been worked and accomplished (or: performed as deeds) within God (or: that it is within God [that they are] ones having been acted out)." ²² After these things, Jesus and the disciples went (or: came) into the Judean territory (land; country; region), and He was wearing away the time there with them. He was also periodically immersing (or: baptizing). ²³ Now John was continuing repeatedly immersing (baptizing) in Enon, near Salim, because much water was (or: many waters were) there, and [folks] kept showing up alongside and were being immersed (baptized), ²⁴ for not yet was John one having been cast into the guardhouse (jail; prison). ²⁵ There arose (came to be) from out of John’s disciples, thereupon, a discussion (an inquiry; a seeking question) with a Jew (or: a Judean) about cleansing (ceremonial purification). ²⁶ So they went to (or: come toward) John, and said (or: say) to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you across (on the other side of) the Jordan [River], to whom you have borne witness (or: for whom you have testified), look (see; consider), this one is continually immersing (baptizing), and everyone is (or: all are) constantly coming toward (or: going to) him." ²⁷ John deliberated in reply and says, "Man continues without ability (or: remains unable) to be receiving anything, unless it may have been existing being having been given to him from out of the heaven (or: A man is continually powerless to lay hold of and take anything, unless he was possibly being one having been given [ability] from out of the atmosphere and heaven in him). ²⁸ "You folks, yourselves, repeatedly bear me witness (or: habitually testify for me) that I myself said, 'I am not the Christ (the Anointed One)!' But rather that, 'I am one having been sent forth as an emissary (one sent forth with a mission as a representative) in front of That One.' ²⁹ "The One continually holding (or: constantly having) the bride is (exists being) a Bridegroom (or: [the] Bridegroom). Yet the friend of the Bridegroom – the man having taken a stand, and continuing standing, and continuously listening and hearing from Him in joy – is constantly rejoicing because of the Bridegroom’s voice! This joy – the one [that is] mine – has therefore been fulfilled (or: This, then, my joy, has been made full). ³⁰ "It is necessary and binding for That One to be progressively growing and increasing, yet for me to be progressively less (or: continually made inferior). ³¹ "The One repeatedly coming back again from above (or: habitually going again to a higher place) is above upon all people (or: constantly exists being up over upon all things). The person continuously being forth from out of the earth [as a source] is (or: constantly exists being) from out of the earth, and is habitually speaking forth from out of the earth. The One continuously coming (or: habitually going; repeatedly coming and progressively going) forth from out of the midst of the heaven (or: the atmosphere) is, and constantly exists being, above upon all people (or: up over upon all things). ³² "What He has seen and hears (or: heard), to this He continuously bears witness (or: is repeatedly testifying and giving evidence), and yet no one is presently grasping (or: habitually takes in hand; continues receiving) His witness (or: testimony; evidence). ³³ "The one receiving (grasping; taking in hand; getting hold of) His witness (or: testimony; evidence) certifies – by setting a seal (= giving attestation) – that God is true (real; genuine; truthful), ³⁴ "for He Whom God sends forth with a mission (dispatches as an Emissary and Representative) habitually is speaking the gush-effects from God (the results of the flows of God; God's declarations or sayings), for God is habitually (or: continuously) giving the Spirit (Breath; or: Attitude) [and] not from out of a measure (= not by a measured portion or limit; = without measure and without limitation). ³⁵ "The Father continuously loves the Son, and He has given all humanity (or, as a neuter: all things) [to Him] so that He has it (or: them) as a gift within His hand. ³⁶ "The one habitually trusting (or: continuously going on confidently believing with loyalty) into the Son is now constantly holding and progressively having eonian life (life having the characteristics and qualities of the sphere of the Age; life of and for the ages; eon-lasting life; life whose source is the Age [of Messiah]). Yet the person now continuing being unpersuaded by the Son (or: presently being constantly incompliant, disobedient or disbelieving to the Son; being repeatedly stubborn toward the Son) will not be catching sight of (seeing; observing; perceiving) [this] life. To the contrary, God’s inherent fervor (teeming passion and swelling desire; mental bent and natural impulse; propensity and disposition; or: anger, wrath and indignation) is continuously remaining (is now habitually dwelling and abiding) upon him."

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² He came to Jesus by night, and said to him: »Rabbi! We know you are a teacher from God. No one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.« ³ Jesus answered: »Truly I tell you unless a person is born again (brought forth from above) he cannot see the kingdom of God.« ⁴ Nicodemus asked: »How could a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother’s womb again and be born?« ⁵ Jesus responded: »I tell you truth, except a man be born of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! ⁶ »That which is born from the flesh is flesh and that which is born from the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ »Do not marvel that I say you must be born again. ⁸ »The wind blows where it will. You hear the sound of it. Yet you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. It is like this with every one who is born from the Spirit.« ⁹ Nicodemus asked: »How can these things be?« ¹⁰ Jesus answered: »Are you a teacher of Israel and you do not understand these things? ¹¹ »This is the truth. We speak what we know and witness about what we have seen. But you do not receive our testimony. ¹² »If I told you earthly things and you did not have faith, how will you have faith if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ »No one has ever ascended into heaven but the Son of man who descended from heaven. ¹⁴ »As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man must also be lifted up. ¹⁵ »Everyone who has an active faith in him may have everlasting life. ¹⁶ »For God loved the world so much, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever has an active faith in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ »God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world. Instead the world should be saved through him. ¹⁸ »He who has an active faith in him is not judged. He who does not have an active faith has been judged already for he has not had faith in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ »This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world. People loved the darkness rather than the light for their works were evil. ²⁰ »Every one who does evil hates the light. He does not come to the light because his works would be reproved. ²¹ »He who practices the truth comes to the light. His works are made known that they are from God.« ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples traveled to the land of Judea where he stayed with them and baptized. ²³ John was also baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there. People came and were baptized. ²⁴ John had not yet been thrown into prison. ²⁵ There was a controversy between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification. ²⁶ They went to John and said: »Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, the one about whom you witnessed, he and the men with him baptize.« ²⁷ John answered: »A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ »You bear witness that I said I am not the Christ. I have been sent before him. ²⁹ »He that has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens to him. He rejoices greatly because he hears the bridegroom’s voice. This fills me with joy. ³⁰ »He must increase and I must decrease.« ³¹ »He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks from an earthly viewpoint. He who comes from heaven is superior. ³² »He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no man accepts his testimony. ³³ »He who receives his testimony confirms by his seal that God is true. ³⁴ »For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God. God does not give the spirit by measure. ³⁵ »The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ »He who puts active faith in the Son has everlasting life. He who disobeys* the Son will not see life for the wrath of God remains upon him.« (*Greek: apeitheo: willfully disobey, not having faith)

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jesus Talks with NicodemusNow there was a man from the Pharisees, a leader of the Jews, whose name was Nicodemus. ² He came to Jesus at night and told him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, because no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.”
³ Jesus replied to him, “Truly, I tell you emphatically, unless a person is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
⁴ Nicodemus asked him, “How can a person be born when he is old? He can’t go back into his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?”
⁵ Jesus answered, “Truly, I tell you emphatically, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Don’t be astonished that I told you, ‘All of you must be born from above.’ ⁸ The wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. That’s the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
⁹ Nicodemus asked him, “How can that be?”
¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “You’re the teacher of Israel, and you can’t understand this? ¹¹ Truly, I tell you emphatically, we know what we’re talking about, and we testify about what we’ve seen. Yet you people do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I have told you people about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?
¹³ “No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven. ¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
¹⁶ “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him might not be lost but have eternal life. ¹⁷ Because God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s unique Son. ¹⁹ And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil. ²⁰ Everyone who practices wickedness hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his actions may not be exposed. ²¹ But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may become evident that his actions have God’s approval.”
²² John the Baptist Talks about JesusAfter this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside. He spent some time there with them and began baptizing. ²³ John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People kept coming and were being baptized, ²⁴ since John had not yet been thrown into prison.
²⁵ Then a controversy about ritual purification sprang up between a certain Jew and John’s disciples, ²⁶ so they went to John and told him, “Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the one about whom you testified—look, he’s baptizing, and everyone is going to him!”
²⁷ John replied, “No one can receive anything unless it has been given to them from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.’ ²⁹ It is the bridegroom who gets the bride, yet the bridegroom’s friend, who merely stands by and listens for him, is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That’s why this joy of mine is now complete. ³⁰ He must become more important, but I must become less important.”
³¹ The One who Comes from AboveThe one who comes from above is superior to everything. The one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior to everything. ³² He testifies about what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony. ³³ The person who has accepted his testimony has acknowledged that God is truthful. ³⁴ The one whom God sent speaks the words of God, because God does not give the Spirit in limited measure to him. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has put everything in his hands. ³⁶ The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees _⌊whose name was_⌋* Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This man came to him at night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are* a teacher who has come from God, for no one is able to perform these signs that you are performing unless God were with him." ³ Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born from above,* he is not able to see the kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is an old man? He is not able to enter into his mother's womb for the second time and be born, can he?"* ⁵ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone is born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'It is necessary for you to be born from above.'* ⁸ The wind blows wherever it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, "How can these things be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and you do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony! ¹² If I tell you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven—the Son of Man. ¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,* thus it is necessary that the Son of Man be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life."* ¹⁶ For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge* the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him. ¹⁸ The one who believes in him is not judged,* but the one who does not believe has already been judged,* because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For everyone who practices evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed. ²¹ But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his deeds may be revealed, that they are done in God. ²² After these things Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing. ²³ Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and they were coming and were being baptized. ²⁴ (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.) ²⁵ So a dispute occurred on the part of John's disciples with a Jew* concerning purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, about whom you testified—look, this one is baptizing, and all are coming to him!" ²⁷ John answered and said, "A man can receive not one thing unless it is granted to him from heaven! ²⁸ You yourselves testify about me that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I am sent before that one.' ²⁹ The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices _⌊greatly_⌋* because of the bridegroom's voice.

The one who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth; the one who comes from heaven is over all. ³² What he has seen and heard, this he testifies, and no one accepts his testimony. ³³ The one who accepts his testimony has attested that God is true. ³⁴ For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life—but the wrath of God remains on him.*

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² He came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, unless God should be with him.” ³ Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, except anyone 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?” ⁵ Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless anyone be born of water and of the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That having been born of the flesh is flesh, and that having been born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not wonder that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you all to be born from above.’ ⁸ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know from where it comes and where it goes. Thus is everyone having been born of the Spirit.” ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to be?” ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and do you not know these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you that we speak that which we know, and we bear witness to that which we have seen, and you people do not receive our witness. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven except the One having come down out of heaven, the Son of Man. ¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up, ¹⁵ so that everyone believing in Him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸ The one believing in Him is not judged, but the one not believing already has been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgement, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his works may not be exposed; ²¹ but the one practicing the truth comes to the Light, that his works may be manifest as having been done in God.” ²² After these things, Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was staying with them, and was baptizing. ²³ Now John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because the waters were many there, and they were coming and being baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet been cast into the prison. ²⁵ Then a debate arose among the disciples of John with a certain Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.” ²⁷ John answered and said, “A man is able to receive not one thing if it is not given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear witness to me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am sent before Him.’ ²⁹ The one having the bride is the bridegroom; and the friend of the bridegroom, the one standing and listening for him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled. ³⁰ It behooves Him to increase, but me to decrease. ³¹ The One coming from above is above all. The one being from the earth is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. The One coming from heaven is above all. ³² What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, but no one receives His testimony. ³³ The one having received His testimony has set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For He whom God sent speaks the words of God, for He gives the Spirit without measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. ³⁶ The one believing in the Son has eternal life, but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. ² He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.” ³ Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” ⁴ “How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?” ⁵ Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. ⁶ Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. ⁷ Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ ⁸ The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” ⁹ “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked. ¹⁰ “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? ¹³ No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man. ¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, ¹⁵ that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. ¹⁸ Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. ¹⁹ And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” ²² After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized. ²³ Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized. ²⁴ (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.) ²⁵ Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing. ²⁶ So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.” ²⁷ John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’ ²⁹ The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. ³⁰ He must increase; I must decrease. ³¹ The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all. ³² He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony. ³³ Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful. ³⁴ For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands. ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

MSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. ² He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.” ³ Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” ⁴ “How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?” ⁵ Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. ⁶ Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. ⁷ Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ ⁸ The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” ⁹ “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked. ¹⁰ “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and you do not understand these things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and yet you people do not accept our testimony. ¹² If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? ¹³ No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, ¹⁵ that everyone who believes in Him may not perish, but may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. ¹⁸ Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. ¹⁹ And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. ²¹ But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” ²² After this, Jesus and His disciples went into the Judean countryside, where He spent some time with them and baptized. ²³ Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salem, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized. ²⁴ (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.) ²⁵ Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the issue of ceremonial washing. ²⁶ So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.” ²⁷ John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but am sent ahead of Him.’ ²⁹ The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. ³⁰ He must increase; I must decrease. ³¹ The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all. ³² He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony. ³³ Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful. ³⁴ For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands. ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man from the Pharisees, his name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. ² This one came to him by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one is able to do these signs which you are doing, if God is not with him.
³ Jesus answered and said to him, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, If someone has not been born anew, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.
⁴ Nicodemus says to him, How is a man able to be born, being elderly? He is not able to enter into his mother’s womb a second-time and to be born again, is he?
⁵ Jesus answered, Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, If someone has not been born out of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God! ⁶ What has been born out of the flesh is flesh, and what has been born out of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not marvel that I said to you, It is essential for you to be born anew. ⁸ The Spirit is blowing where he wills and you hear his voice, but do not know from where he is coming and where he is going, so is everyone who has been born from the Spirit.
⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How are these things able to happen?
¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Are you the teacher of Israel and do not know these things? ¹¹ Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you, We speak what we know, and testify from what we have seen, and you do not receive our testimony. ¹² If I tell you the earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you the heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended into heaven, except he who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And just-as Moses who exalted the serpent in the wilderness, so it is essential for the Son of Man to also be exalted; ¹⁵ in order that everyone who believes in him might not perish but may have everlasting life.
¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but may have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send the Son into the world in order that he might judge the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
¹⁹ Now 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. ²⁰ For everyone who is practicing evil, hates the light, and is not coming to the light, in order that his works should not convict him. ²¹ But he who practices the truth comes to the light, in order that his works should be manifest, that they have been worked in God.

²² After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of the Jews, and he was remaining with them and was immersing there. ²³ Now John was also immersing in Aenon near to Salem, because many bodies of water were there, and they were coming and were being immersed. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Therefore there happened to be a debate from John’s disciples with a Jew concerning the cleansing. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with you beyond-that area of the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, this one immerses and all men are going to him.
²⁷ John answered and said, A man is able to receive nothing, if it is not given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves testify, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I have been sent before that one. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore in this, my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ It is essential for that to grow, but for me to be diminished.
³¹ He who is coming from above is over all. He who is from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. He who is coming from heaven is over all. ³² And what he has seen and heard, he is testifying of this, and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He who has received his testimony has sealed this : that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit from measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, but he who is disobedient to the Son will not be seeing life, but the wrath of God is remaining upon him.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people. ² He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.” ³ Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” ⁴ "How can a man be born when he is old?"

The friend of the bridegroom stands and listens for him, and is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. ³⁰ He has to become greater while I become less. ³¹ The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all. ³² He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony. ³³ Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful. ³⁴ For the One whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has put everything in his hands. ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Es war aber ein Mensch unter den Pharisäern mit Namen Nikodemus, ein Oberster unter den Juden. ² Der kam zu Jesu bei der Nacht und sprach zu ihm: Meister, wir wissen, daß du bist ein Lehrer, von Gott kommen; denn niemand kann die Zeichen tun, die du tust, es sei denn Gott mit ihm. ³ Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Es sei denn, daß jemand von neuem geboren werde, kann er das Reich Gottes nicht sehen. ⁴ Nikodemus spricht zu ihm: Wie kann ein Mensch geboren werden, wenn er alt ist? Kann er auch wiederum in seiner Mutter Leib gehen und geboren werden? ⁵ Jesus antwortete: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Es sei denn, daß jemand geboren werde aus dem Wasser und Geist, so kann er nicht in das Reich Gottes kommen. ⁶ Was vom Fleisch geboren wird, das ist Fleisch, und was vom Geist geboren wird, das ist Geist. ⁷ Laß dich's nicht wundern, daß ich dir gesagt habe: Ihr müsset von neuem geboren werden. ⁸ Der Wind bläset, wo er will, und du hörest sein Sausen wohl; aber du weißt nicht, von wannen er kommt und wohin er fähret. Also ist ein jeglicher, der aus dem Geist geboren ist. ⁹ Nikodemus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Wie mag solches zugehen? ¹⁰ Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Bist du ein Meister in Israel und weißt das nicht? ¹¹ Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir, wir reden, was wir wissen, und zeugen, was wir gesehen haben, und ihr nehmet unser Zeugnis nicht an. ¹² Glaubt ihr nicht, wenn ich euch von irdischen Dingen sage, wie würdet ihr glauben, wenn ich euch von himmlischen Dingen sagen würde? ¹³ Und niemand fähret gen Himmel, denn der vom Himmel herniederkommen ist, nämlich des Menschen Sohn, der im Himmel ist. ¹⁴ Und wie Mose in der Wüste eine Schlange erhöhet hat, also muß des Menschen Sohn erhöhet werden, ¹⁵ auf daß alle, die an ihn glauben, nicht verloren werden, sondern das ewige Leben haben. ¹⁶ Also hat Gott die Welt geliebet, daß er seinen eingeborenen Sohn gab, auf daß alle, die an ihn glauben, nicht verloren werden, sondern das ewige Leben haben. ¹⁷ Denn Gott hat seinen Sohn nicht gesandt in die Welt, daß er die Welt richte, sondern daß die Welt durch ihn selig werde. ¹⁸ Wer an ihn glaubet, der wird nicht gerichtet; wer aber nicht glaubet, der ist schon gerichtet; denn er glaubet nicht an den Namen des eingebornen Sohnes Gottes. ¹⁹ Das ist aber das Gericht, daß das Licht in die Welt kommen ist, und die Menschen liebeten die Finsternis mehr denn das Licht; denn ihre Werke waren böse. ²⁰ Wer Arges tut, der hasset das Licht und kommt nicht an das Licht, auf daß seine Werke nicht gestraft werden. ²¹ Wer aber die Wahrheit tut, der kommt an das Licht, daß seine Werke offenbar werden; denn sie sind in Gott getan. ²² Danach kam Jesus und seine Jünger in das jüdische Land und hatte daselbst sein Wesen mit ihnen und taufete. ²³ Johannes aber taufete auch noch zu Enon, nahe bei Salim; denn es war viel Wassers daselbst. Und sie kamen dahin und ließen sich taufen. ²⁴ Denn Johannes war noch nicht ins Gefängnis gelegt. ²⁵ Da erhub sich eine Frage unter den Jüngern des Johannes samt den Juden über die Reinigung. ²⁶ Und kamen zu Johannes und sprachen zu ihm: Meister, der bei dir war jenseit des Jordans, von dem du zeugtest, siehe, der taufet, und jedermann kommt zu ihm. ²⁷ Johannes antwortete und sprach: Ein Mensch kann nichts nehmen, es werde ihm denn gegeben vom Himmel. ²⁸ Ihr selbst seid meine Zeugen, daß ich gesagt habe, ich sei nicht Christus, sondern vor ihm her gesandt. ²⁹ Wer die Braut hat, der ist der Bräutigam; der Freund aber des Bräutigams stehet und höret ihm zu und freuet sich hoch über des Bräutigams Stimme. Dieselbige meine Freude ist nun erfüllet. ³⁰ Er muß wachsen, ich aber muß abnehmen. ³¹ Der von oben her kommt, ist über alle. Wer von der Erde ist, der ist von der Erde und redet von der Erde; der vom Himmel kommt, der ist über alle ³² und zeuget, was er gesehen und gehöret hat; und sein Zeugnis nimmt niemand an. ³³ Wer es aber annimmt, der versiegelt es, daß Gott wahrhaftig sei. ³⁴ Denn welchen Gott gesandt hat, der redet Gottes Wort; denn Gott gibt den Geist nicht nach dem Maß. ³⁵ Der Vater hat den Sohn lieb und hat ihm alles in seine Hand gegeben. ³⁶ Wer an den Sohn glaubet, der hat das ewige Leben; wer dem Sohn nicht glaubet, der wird das Leben nicht sehen, sondern der Zorn Gottes bleibt über ihm.

Luther1545_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G2258 Es war G1161 aber G444 ein Mensch G1537 unter G5330 den Pharisäern G3686 mit Namen G3530 Nikodemus G758 , ein Oberster G2453 unter den Juden .

2 G3778 Der G2064 kam G4314 zu G2424 JEsu G3571 bei der Nacht G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G4461 : Meister G3754 , wir wissen, daß G1492 du G1320 bist ein Lehrer G575 , von G2316 GOtt G2064 kommen G1063 ; denn G3762 niemand G1410 kann G5023 die G4592 Zeichen G4160 tun G3739 , die G4771 du G4160 tust, es sei G3362 denn G2316 GOtt G3326 mit G846 ihm .

3 G2424 JEsus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G281 zu ihm: Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 , ich sage G4671 dir G3362 : Es sei denn G5100 , daß jemand G509 von neuem G1080 geboren G1410 werde, kann G846 er G932 das G2316 Reich Gottes G3756 nicht G1492 sehen .

4 G3530 Nikodemus G3004 spricht G4314 zu G4459 ihm: Wie G1410 kann G1525 ein G444 Mensch G1080 geboren G846 werden, wenn er G1088 alt G1080 ist G1410 ? Kann G1208 er auch wiederum G1519 in G3384 seiner Mutter G2836 Leib G2532 gehen und geboren werden?

5 G2424 JEsus G611 antwortete G281 : Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 , ich sage G4671 dir G3362 : Es sei denn G5100 , daß jemand G1080 geboren G1537 werde aus G5204 dem Wasser G2532 und G4151 Geist G1410 , so kann G1519 er nicht in G932 das G2316 Reich Gottes G1525 kommen .

6 G1537 Was vom G4561 Fleisch G1080 geboren wird, das ist G4561 Fleisch G2532 , und G1537 was vom G4151 Geist G2076 geboren wird, das ist G4151 Geist .

7 G2296 Laß G4671 dich G3361 ‘s nicht G3754 wundern, daß G2036 ich dir gesagt G5209 habe: Ihr G1163 müsset G509 von neuem G1080 geboren werden.

8 G4151 Der Wind G3699 bläset, wo G846 er G2309 will G2532 , und G191 du G5456 hörest sein Sausen G1492 wohl; aber du G1492 weißt G3756 nicht G1537 , von G2064 wannen er kommt G235 und G4226 wohin G3779 er fähret. Also G2532 ist G3956 ein jeglicher G4151 , der aus dem Geist G1080 geboren G2076 ist .

9 G3530 Nikodemus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G1410 zu G846 ihm G4459 : Wie G5023 mag solches G1096 zugehen ?

10 G2424 JEsus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G1488 : Bist G4771 du G1320 ein Meister G2474 in Israel G2532 und G1097 weißt G5023 das G3756 nicht ?

11 G281 Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 , ich sage G4671 dir G2980 , wir reden G3739 , was G2532 wir wissen, und G3140 zeugen G3739 , was G1492 wir gesehen G3708 haben G2532 , und G2983 ihr nehmet G2257 unser G3141 Zeugnis G3756 nicht an.

12 G4100 Glaubt ihr G2532 nicht G1487 , wenn G5213 ich euch G1919 von irdischen Dingen G2036 sage G4459 , wie G4100 würdet ihr glauben G1437 , wenn G5213 ich euch G2032 von himmlischen Dingen G2036 sagen würde?

13 G2532 Und G3762 niemand G1519 fähret gen G3772 Himmel G1508 , denn G1537 der vom G3772 Himmel G305 herniederkommen ist G3588 , nämlich des G444 Menschen G1722 Sohn, der im G3772 Himmel G2597 ist .

14 G2532 Und G2531 wie G3475 Mose G1722 in G2048 der Wüste G3789 eine Schlange G5312 erhöhet hat G3779 , also G1163 muß G444 des Menschen G5312 Sohn erhöhet werden,

15 G1519 auf G3363 daß G3956 alle G846 , die an ihn G4100 glauben G622 , nicht verloren G622 werden G235 , sondern G3363 das G166 ewige G2222 Leben G2192 haben .

16 G3779 Also G25 hat G2316 GOtt G2889 die Welt G5620 geliebet, daß G846 er G3439 seinen eingeborenen Sohn G1325 gab G1519 , auf G2443 daß G3956 alle G4100 , die an ihn glauben G3361 , nicht G622 verloren G622 werden G235 , sondern G1063 das G166 ewige G2222 Leben G2192 haben .

17 G1063 Denn G2316 GOtt G649 hat G3756 seinen Sohn nicht G1519 gesandt in G2889 die Welt G2443 , daß G846 er G2889 die Welt G2919 richte G235 , sondern G2443 daß G2889 die Welt G1223 durch G4982 ihn selig werde.

18 G4100 Wer G1519 an G4100 ihn glaubet G2919 , der wird G3756 nicht G2919 gerichtet G1161 ; wer aber G3361 nicht G4100 glaubet G2235 , der ist schon G2919 gerichtet G3754 ; denn G846 er G4100 glaubet G3361 nicht G1519 an G3686 den Namen G3439 des eingebornen Sohnes G2316 Gottes .

19 G3778 Das G2076 ist G1161 aber G2920 das Gericht G3754 , daß G5457 das Licht G1519 in G2889 die Welt G2064 kommen G2532 ist, und G444 die Menschen G4655 liebeten die Finsternis G3123 mehr G2228 denn G5457 das Licht G1063 ; denn G846 ihre G2041 Werke G2258 waren G4190 böse .

20 G5337 Wer Arges G4238 tut G3404 , der hasset G3956 das G5457 Licht G1063 und G2064 kommt G3756 nicht G4314 an G5457 das Licht G3363 , auf daß G846 seine G2041 Werke G1651 nicht gestraft werden .

21 G1161 Wer aber G225 die Wahrheit G4160 tut G2064 , der kommt G4314 an G5457 das Licht G2443 , daß G846 seine G2041 Werke G5319 offenbar werden G3754 ; denn G2076 sie sind G1722 in G2316 GOtt G2038 getan .

22 G2064 Danach kam G2424 JEsus G2532 und G846 seine G3101 Jünger G1519 in G5023 das G1093 jüdische Land G2532 und G1563 hatte daselbst G1304 sein Wesen G3326 mit G846 ihnen G3326 und taufete.

23 G2491 Johannes G1161 aber G2532 taufete auch G1722 noch zu G137 Enon G1451 , nahe bei G4530 Salim G3754 ; denn G2258 es war G4183 viel G5204 Wassers G1563 daselbst G2532 . Und G3854 sie kamen G2532 dahin und G2258 ließen sich G907 taufen .

24 G1063 Denn G2491 Johannes G2258 war G3768 noch nicht G1519 ins G5438 Gefängnis G906 gelegt .

25 G3767 Da G1096 erhub sich G2214 eine Frage G1537 unter G3101 den Jüngern G2491 des Johannes G3326 samt G2453 den Juden G4012 über G2512 die Reinigung .

26 G2532 Und G2064 kamen G4314 zu G2491 Johannes G2532 und G2036 sprachen G4314 zu G846 ihm G4461 : Meister G3739 , der G3326 bei G4675 dir G2258 war G4008 jenseit G846 des G2446 Jordans G3739 , von dem G4771 du G3140 zeugtest G2396 , siehe G3778 , der G907 taufet G2532 , und G3956 jedermann G2064 kommt zu ihm.

27 G2491 Johannes G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G444 : Ein Mensch G1410 kann G3756 nichts G2983 nehmen G5600 , es werde G846 ihm G3362 denn G1325 gegeben G1537 vom G3772 Himmel .

28 G5210 Ihr G3140 selbst seid G3140 meine Zeugen G3754 , daß G3427 ich G2036 gesagt G1473 habe, ich G1510 sei G3756 nicht G5547 Christus G235 , sondern G1715 vor G846 ihm G649 her gesandt .

29 G3588 Wer die G3565 Braut G2192 hat G3778 , der G2476 ist G3566 der Bräutigam G5384 ; der Freund G1161 aber G846 des G3566 Bräutigams G2076 stehet G2532 und G191 höret G5463 ihm zu und freuet sich G5479 hoch G1223 über G3566 des Bräutigams G5456 Stimme G1699 . Dieselbige meine G5479 Freude G4137 ist G3767 nun erfüllet.

30 G1565 Er G1163 muß G837 wachsen G1691 , ich G1161 aber G1642 muß abnehmen .

31 G1537 Der von G1883 oben G2064 her kommt G2076 , ist G1883 über G3956 alle G1537 . Wer von G1093 der Erde G5607 ist G2076 , der ist G1537 von G1093 der Erde G2532 und G2980 redet G1093 von der Erde G3772 ; der vom Himmel G2064 kommt G2076 , der ist G3956 über alle

32 G2532 und G3140 zeuget G3739 , was G846 er G3708 gesehen G2532 und G191 gehöret hat G2532 ; und G3141 sein Zeugnis G2983 nimmt G3762 niemand an.

33 G846 Wer es G2983 aber annimmt G4972 , der versiegelt G3754 es, daß G2316 GOtt G227 wahrhaftig G2076 sei .

34 G1063 Denn G2316 welchen GOtt G649 gesandt hat G1537 , der G2980 redet G4487 Gottes Wort G1063 ; denn G1325 GOtt gibt G4151 den Geist G3756 nicht G3739 nach dem G3358 Maß .

Luther1912⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Es war aber ein Mensch unter den Pharisäern mit Namen Nikodemus, ein Oberster unter den Juden. ² Der kam zu Jesu bei der Nacht und sprach zu ihm: Meister, wir wissen, daß du bist ein Lehrer von Gott gekommen; denn niemand kann die Zeichen tun, die du tust, es sei denn Gott mit ihm. ³ Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Es sei denn, daß jemand von neuem geboren werde, so kann er das Reich Gottes nicht sehen. ⁴ Nikodemus spricht zu ihm: Wie kann ein Mensch geboren werden wenn er alt ist? Kann er auch wiederum in seiner Mutter Leib gehen und geboren werden? ⁵ Jesus antwortete: Wahrlich, wahrlich ich sage dir: Es sei denn daß jemand geboren werde aus Wasser und Geist, so kann er nicht in das Reich Gottes kommen. ⁶ Was vom Fleisch geboren wird, das ist Fleisch; und was vom Geist geboren wird, das ist Geist. ⁷ Laß dich's nicht wundern, daß ich dir gesagt habe: Ihr müsset von neuem geboren werden. ⁸ Der Wind bläst, wo er will, und du hörst sein Sausen wohl; aber du weißt nicht, woher er kommt und wohin er fährt. Also ist ein jeglicher, der aus dem Geist geboren ist. ⁹ Nikodemus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Wie mag solches zugehen? ¹⁰ Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Bist du ein Meister in Israel und weißt das nicht? ¹¹ Wahrlich, wahrlich ich sage dir: Wir reden, was wir wissen, und zeugen, was wir gesehen haben; und ihr nehmt unser Zeugnis nicht an. ¹² Glaubet ihr nicht, wenn ich euch von irdischen Dingen sage, wie würdet ihr glauben, wenn ich euch von himmlischen Dingen sagen würde? ¹³ Und niemand fährt gen Himmel, denn der vom Himmel herniedergekommen ist, nämlich des Menschen Sohn, der im Himmel ist. ¹⁴ Und wie Mose in der Wüste eine Schlange erhöht hat, also muß des Menschen Sohn erhöht werden, ¹⁵ auf das alle, die an ihn glauben, nicht verloren werden, sondern das ewige Leben haben. ¹⁶ Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt, daß er seinen eingeborenen Sohn gab, auf daß alle, die an ihn glauben, nicht verloren werden, sondern das ewige Leben haben. ¹⁷ Denn Gott hat seinen Sohn nicht gesandt in die Welt, daß er die Welt richte, sondern daß die Welt durch ihn selig werde. ¹⁸ Wer an ihn glaubt, der wird nicht gerichtet; wer aber nicht glaubt, der ist schon gerichtet, denn er glaubt nicht an den Namen des eingeborenen Sohnes Gottes. ¹⁹ Das ist aber das Gericht, daß das Licht in die Welt gekommen ist, und die Menschen liebten die Finsternis mehr als das Licht; denn ihre Werke waren böse. ²⁰ Wer arges tut, der haßt das Licht und kommt nicht an das Licht, auf daß seine Werke nicht gestraft werden. ²¹ Wer aber die Wahrheit tut, der kommt an das Licht, daß seine Werke offenbar werden; denn sie sind in Gott getan. ²² Darnach kam Jesus und seine Jünger in das jüdische Land und hatte daselbst sein Wesen mit ihnen und taufte. ²³ Johannes aber taufte auch noch zu Enon, nahe bei Salim, denn es war viel Wasser daselbst; und sie kamen dahin und ließen sich taufen. ²⁴ Denn Johannes war noch nicht ins Gefängnis gelegt. ²⁵ Da erhob sich eine Frage unter den Jüngern des Johannes mit den Juden über die Reinigung. ²⁶ Und sie kamen zu Johannes und sprachen zu ihm: Meister, der bei dir war jenseit des Jordans, von dem du zeugtest, siehe, der tauft, und jedermann kommt zu ihm. ²⁷ Johannes antwortete und sprach: Ein Mensch kann nichts nehmen, es werde ihm denn gegeben vom Himmel. ²⁸ Ihr selbst seid meine Zeugen, daß ich gesagt habe, ich sei nicht Christus, sondern vor ihm her gesandt. ²⁹ Wer die Braut hat, der ist der Bräutigam; der Freund aber des Bräutigams steht und hört ihm zu und freut sich hoch über des Bräutigams Stimme. Diese meine Freude ist nun erfüllt. ³⁰ Er muß wachsen, ich aber muß abnehmen. ³¹ Der von obenher kommt, ist über alle. Wer von der Erde ist, der ist von der Erde und redet von der Erde. Der vom Himmel kommt, der ist über alle ³² und zeugt, was er gesehen und gehört hat; und sein Zeugnis nimmt niemand an. ³³ Wer es aber annimmt, der besiegelt's, daß Gott wahrhaftig sei. ³⁴ Denn welchen Gott gesandt hat, der redet Gottes Worte; denn Gott gibt den Geist nicht nach dem Maß. ³⁵ Der Vater hat den Sohn lieb und hat ihm alles in seine Hand gegeben. ³⁶ Wer an den Sohn glaubt, der hat das ewige Leben. Wer dem Sohn nicht glaubt, der wird das Leben nicht sehen, sondern der Zorn Gottes bleibt über ihm.

1 G2258 Es war G1161 aber G444 ein Mensch G1537 unter G5330 den Pharisäern G3686 G846 mit Namen G3530 Nikodemus G758 , ein Oberster G2453 unter den Juden .

2 G3778 Der G2064 kam G4314 zu G2424 Jesu G3571 bei der Nacht G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G4461 : Meister G1492 , wir wissen G3754 , daß G1320 du bist ein Lehrer G575 von G2316 Gott G2064 gekommen G1063 ; denn G3762 niemand G1410 kann G5023 die G4592 Zeichen G4160 tun G3739 , die G4771 du G4160 tust G3362 , es G5600 sei G3362 denn G2316 Gott G3326 mit G846 ihm .

3 G2424 Jesus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G281 : Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 ich sage G4671 dir G3362 : Es G3362 sei denn G5100 , daß jemand G509 von neuem G1080 geboren G1410 werde, so kann G932 er das Reich G2316 Gottes G3756 G1410 nicht G1492 sehen .

4 G3530 Nikodemus G3004 spricht G4314 zu G846 ihm G4459 : Wie G1410 kann G444 ein Mensch G1080 geboren G1088 werden, wenn er alt G5607 ist G3361 G1410 ? Kann G1208 er auch wiederum G1519 in G846 seiner G3384 Mutter G2836 Leib G1525 gehen G2532 und G1080 geboren werden?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 antwortete G281 : Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 ich sage G4671 dir G3362 : Es G3362 sei denn G5100 , daß jemand G1080 geboren G1537 werde aus G5204 Wasser G2532 und G4151 Geist G3756 , so kann G3756 G1410 er nicht G1519 in G932 das Reich G2316 Gottes G1525 kommen .

6 G1080 Was G1537 vom G4561 Fleisch G1080 geboren G2076 wird, das ist G4561 Fleisch G2532 ; und G1537 was vom G4151 Geist G1080 geboren G2076 wird, das ist G4151 Geist .

7 G3361 Laß dich’s nicht G2296 wundern G3754 , daß G4671 ich dir G2036 gesagt G5209 habe: Ihr G1163 müsset G509 von neuem G1080 geboren werden.

8 G4151 Der Wind G4154 bläst G3699 , wo G2309 er will G2532 , und G191 du hörst G846 sein G5456 Sausen G235 wohl; aber G1492 du weißt G3756 nicht G4159 , woher G2064 er kommt G2532 und G4226 wohin G5217 er fährt G3779 . Also G2076 ist G3956 ein jeglicher G1537 , der aus G4151 dem Geist G1080 geboren ist.

9 G3530 Nikodemus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G4459 : Wie G1410 mag G5023 solches G1096 zugehen ?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G1488 : Bist G4771 du G1320 ein Meister G2474 in Israel G2532 und G1097 weißt G5023 das G3756 nicht ?

11 G281 Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 ich sage G4671 dir G2980 : Wir reden G3754 G3739 , was G1492 wir wissen G2532 , und G3140 zeugen G3739 , was G3708 wir gesehen G2532 haben; und G2983 ihr nehmt G2257 unser G3141 Zeugnis G3756 nicht an.

12 G2532 G4100 Glaubet G3756 ihr nicht G1487 , wenn G2036 ich G5213 euch G1919 von irdischen Dingen G2036 sage G4459 , wie G4100 würdet ihr glauben G1437 , wenn G2036 ich G5213 euch G2032 von himmlischen Dingen G2036 sagen würde?

13 G2532 Und G3762 niemand G305 fährt G1519 gen G3772 Himmel G1508 , denn G1537 der vom G3772 Himmel G2597 herniedergekommen G444 ist, nämlich des Menschen G5207 Sohn G3588 , der G1722 im G3772 Himmel G5607 ist .

14 G2532 Und G2531 wie G3475 Mose G1722 in G2048 der Wüste G3789 eine Schlange G5312 erhöht G3779 hat, also G1163 muß G444 des Menschen G5207 Sohn G5312 erhöht werden,

15 G3363 auf das G3956 alle G1519 , die an G846 ihn G4100 glauben G3363 , nicht G622 verloren G235 werden, sondern G166 das ewige G2222 Leben G2192 haben .

16 G1063 G3779 Also G2316 hat Gott G2889 die Welt G25 geliebt G5620 , daß G1325 er G846 seinen G3439 eingeborenen G5207 Sohn G1325 gab G2443 , auf daß G3956 alle G1519 , die an G846 ihn G4100 glauben G3361 , nicht G622 verloren G235 werden, sondern G166 das ewige G2222 Leben G2192 haben .

17 G1063 Denn G2316 Gott G846 hat seinen G5207 Sohn G3756 nicht G649 gesandt G1519 in G2889 die Welt G2443 , daß G2889 er die Welt G2919 richte G235 , sondern G2443 daß G2889 die Welt G1223 durch G846 ihn G4982 selig werde.

18 G4100 Wer G1519 an G846 ihn G4100 glaubt G2919 , der wird G3756 nicht G2919 gerichtet G1161 ; wer aber G3361 nicht G4100 glaubt G2235 , der ist schon G2919 gerichtet G3754 , denn G4100 er glaubt G3361 nicht G1519 an G3686 den Namen G3439 des eingeborenen G5207 Sohnes G2316 Gottes .

19 G3778 Das G2076 ist G1161 aber G2920 das Gericht G3754 , daß G5457 das Licht G1519 in G2889 die Welt G2064 gekommen G2532 ist, und G444 die Menschen G25 liebten G4655 die Finsternis G3123 mehr G2228 als G5457 das Licht G1063 ; denn G846 ihre G2041 Werke G2258 waren G4190 böse .

20 G1063 G3956 Wer G5337 Arges G4238 tut G3404 , der haßt G5457 das Licht G2064 und kommt G2532 G3756 nicht G4314 an G5457 das Licht G846 , auf daß seine G2041 Werke G3363 nicht G1651 gestraft werden.

21 G4160 Wer G1161 aber G225 die Wahrheit G4160 tut G2064 , der kommt G4314 an G5457 das Licht G2443 , daß G846 seine G2041 Werke G5319 offenbar G3754 werden; denn G2076 sie G1722 sind in G2316 Gott G2038 getan .

22 G3326 G5023 Darnach G2064 kam G2424 Jesus G2532 und G846 seine G3101 Jünger G1519 in G2449 das jüdische G1093 Land G2532 und G1304 hatte G1563 daselbst G1304 sein Wesen G3326 mit G846 ihnen G2532 und G907 taufte .

23 G2491 Johannes G1161 aber G907 taufte G2532 auch G2258 noch G1722 zu G137 Enon G1451 , nahe G4530 bei Salim G3754 , denn G2258 es war G4183 viel G5204 Wasser G1563 daselbst G2532 ; und G3854 sie kamen G2532 dahin und G907 ließen sich taufen .

24 G1063 Denn G2491 Johannes G2258 war G3768 noch G1519 nicht ins G5438 Gefängnis G906 gelegt .

25 G3767 Da G1096 erhob G2214 sich eine Frage G3326 unter G3101 den Jüngern G1537 des G2491 Johannes G2453 mit den Juden G4012 über G2512 die Reinigung .

26 G2532 Und G2064 sie kamen G4314 zu G2491 Johannes G2532 und G2036 sprachen G846 zu ihm G4461 : Meister G3739 , der G3326 bei G4675 dir G2258 war G4008 jenseit G2446 des Jordans G3739 , von dem G4771 du G3140 zeugtest G2396 , siehe G3778 , der G907 tauft G2532 , und G3956 jedermann G2064 kommt G4314 zu G846 ihm .

27 G2491 Johannes G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G444 : Ein Mensch G3756 G1410 kann G3762 nichts G2983 nehmen G3362 , es G5600 werde G846 ihm G3362 denn G1325 gegeben G1537 vom G3772 Himmel .

28 G5210 Ihr G846 selbst G3427 seid meine G3140 Zeugen G3754 , daß G2036 ich gesagt G1473 habe, ich G1510 sei G3756 nicht G5547 Christus G3754 G235 , sondern G1715 vor G1565 ihm G649 her gesandt .

29 G2192 Wer G3565 die Braut G2192 hat G2076 , der ist G3566 der Bräutigam G3588 ; der G5384 Freund G1161 aber G3566 des Bräutigams G2476 steht G2532 und G191 hört G846 ihm G5463 zu und freut G5479 sich hoch G1223 über G3566 des Bräutigams G5456 Stimme G3778 . Diese G1699 meine G5479 Freude G4137 ist G3767 nun G4137 erfüllt .

30 G1565 Er G1163 muß G837 wachsen G1691 , ich G1161 aber G1642 muß abnehmen .

31 G2064 Der G509 von obenher G2064 kommt G2076 , ist G1883 über G3956 alle G5607 . Wer G1537 von G1093 der Erde G2076 ist G1537 G1093 , der ist von der Erde G2532 und G2980 redet G1537 von G1093 der Erde G2064 . Der G1537 vom G3772 Himmel G2064 kommt G2076 , der ist G1883 über G3956 alle

32 G2532 und G5124 G3140 zeugt G3739 , was G3708 er gesehen G2532 und G191 gehört G2532 hat; und G846 , sein G3141 Zeugnis G2983 nimmt G3762 niemand G2983 an .

33 G846 G3141 Wer es G2983 aber annimmt G4972 , der besiegelt’s G3754 , daß G2316 Gott G227 wahrhaftig G2076 sei .

34 G1063 Denn G3739 welchen G2316 Gott G649 gesandt G2980 hat, der redet G2316 Gottes G4487 Worte G1063 ; denn G2316 Gott G1325 gibt G4151 den Geist G3756 nicht G1537 nach G3358 dem Maß .

35 G3962 Der Vater G25 hat G5207 den Sohn G25 lieb G2532 und G3956 hat ihm alles G1722 in G846 seine G5495 Hand G1325 gegeben .

36 G4100 Wer G1519 an G5207 den Sohn G4100 glaubt G2192 , der hat G166 das ewige G2222 Leben G1161 . G544 Wer G5207 dem Sohn G544 nicht G544 glaubt G3700 , der wird G2222 das Leben G3756 nicht G3700 sehen G235 , sondern G3709 der Zorn G2316 Gottes G3306 bleibt G1909 über G846 ihm .

ELB1871⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Es war aber ein Mensch aus den Pharisäern, sein Name Nikodemus, ein Oberster der Juden. ² Dieser kam zu ihm bei Nacht und sprach zu ihm: Rabbi, wir wissen, daß du ein Lehrer bist, von Gott gekommen, denn niemand kann diese Zeichen tun, die du tust, es sei denn Gott mit ihm. ³ Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Es sei denn, daß jemand von neuem geboren werde, so kann er das Reich Gottes nicht sehen. ⁴ Nikodemus spricht zu ihm: Wie kann ein Mensch geboren werden, wenn er alt ist?

1 G2258 Es war G1161 aber G444 ein Mensch G1537 aus G5330 den Pharisäern, G3686 sein Name G3530 Nikodemus, G758 ein Oberster G2453 der Juden.

2 G3778 Dieser G2064 kam G4314 zu G2424 ihm G3571 bei Nacht G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm: G4461 Rabbi, G1492 wir wissen, G3754 daß G2064 du G1320 ein Lehrer G2064 bist, G575 von G2316 Gott G2064 gekommen, G1063 denn G3762 niemand G1410 kann G5023 diese G4592 Zeichen G4160 tun, G3739 die G4771 du G4160 tust, G3362 es sei denn G2316 Gott G5600 G3326 mit G846 ihm.

4 G3530 Nikodemus G3004 spricht G4314 zu G846 ihm: G4459 Wie G1410 kann G444 ein Mensch G1080 geboren werden, G1088 wenn er alt G5607 ist? G1410 Kann er G3361 etwa G1208 zum zweiten Male G1519 in G2836 den Leib G846 seiner G3384 Mutter G1525 eingehen G2532 und G1080 geboren werden?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 antwortete: G281 Wahrlich, G281 wahrlich, G3004 ich sage G4671 dir: G3362 Es sei denn, G5100 daß jemand G1537 aus G5204 Wasser G2532 und G4151 Geist G1080 geboren werde, G1410 so kann er G3756 nicht G1519 in G932 das Reich G2316 Gottes G1525 eingehen.

7 G2296 Verwundere dich G3361 nicht, G3754 daß G2036 ich G4671 dir G2036 sagte: G5209 Ihr G1163 müsset G509 von neuem G1080 geboren werden.

12 G1487 Wenn G2036 ich G5213 euch G1919 das Irdische G2036 gesagt habe, G2532 und G4100 ihr glaubet G3756 nicht, G4459 wie G4100 werdet ihr glauben, G1437 wenn G2036 ich G5213 euch G2032 das Himmlische G2036 sage?

13 G2532 Und G3762 niemand G305 ist hinaufgestiegen G1519 in G3772 den Himmel, G1508 als nur G2597 der G1537 aus G3772 dem Himmel G2597 herabgestiegen ist, G5207 der Sohn G444 des Menschen, G3588 der G1722 im G3772 Himmel G5607 ist.

14 G2532 Und G2531 gleichwie G3475 Moses G1722 in G2048 der Wüste G3789 die Schlange G5312 erhöhte, G3779 also G1163 muß G5207 der Sohn G444 des Menschen G5312 erhöht werden,

16 G1063 Denn G3779 also G2316 hat Gott G2889 die Welt G25 geliebt, G5620 daß G1325 er G846 seinen G3439 eingeborenen G5207 Sohn G1325 gab, G2443 auf daß G3956 jeder, der G1519 an G846 ihn G4100 glaubt, G3361 nicht G622 G622 verloren gehe, G235 sondern G166 ewiges G2222 Leben G2192 habe.

17 G1063 Denn G2316 Gott G649 hat G846 seinen G5207 Sohn G3756 nicht G1519 in G2889 die Welt G649 gesandt, G2443 auf daß G2889 er die Welt G2919 richte, G235 sondern G2443 auf daß G2889 die Welt G1223 durch G846 ihn G4982 errettet werde.

18 G4100 Wer G1519 an G846 ihn G4100 glaubt, G2919 wird G3756 nicht G2919 gerichtet; G4100 wer G1161 aber G3361 nicht G4100 glaubt, G2919 ist G2235 schon G2919 gerichtet, G3754 weil G3361 er nicht G4100 geglaubt hat G1519 an G3686 den Namen G3439 des eingeborenen G5207 Sohnes G2316 Gottes.

19 G3778 Dies G1161 aber G2076 ist G2920 das Gericht, G3754 daß G5457 das Licht G1519 in G2889 die Welt G2064 gekommen ist, G2532 und G444 die Menschen G25 haben G4655 die Finsternis G3123 mehr G25 geliebt G2228 als G5457 das Licht, G1063 denn G846 ihre G2041 Werke G2258 waren G4190 böse.

20 G1063 Denn G3956 jeder, der G5337 Arges G4238 tut, G3404 haßt G5457 das Licht G2532 und G2064 kommt G3756 nicht G4314 zu G5457 dem Lichte, G3363 auf daß G846 seine G2041 Werke G3363 nicht G1651 bloßgestellt werden;

21 G4160 wer G1161 aber G225 die Wahrheit G4160 tut, G2064 kommt G4314 zu G5457 dem Lichte, G2443 auf daß G846 seine G2041 Werke G5319 offenbar werden, G3754 daß G1722 sie in G2316 Gott G2076 G2038 gewirkt sind.

22 G3326 Nach G5023 diesem G2064 kam G2424 Jesus G2532 und G846 seine G3101 Jünger G1519 in G1093 das Land G2449 G2453 Judäa, G2532 und G1563 daselbst G1304 verweilte er G3326 mit G846 ihnen G2532 und G907 taufte.

23 G1161 Aber G2532 auch G2491 Johannes G2258 G907 taufte G1722 zu G137 Aenon, G1451 nahe bei G4530 Salim, G3754 weil G4183 viel G5204 Wasser G1563 daselbst G2258 war; G2532 und G3854 sie kamen hin G2532 und G907 wurden getauft.

24 G1063 Denn G2491 Johannes G2258 war G3768 noch nicht G1519 ins G5438 Gefängnis G906 geworfen.

25 G1096 Es entstand G3767 nun G2214 eine Streitfrage G3326 G1537 unter G3101 den Jüngern G2491 Johannes' G2453 mit einem Juden G4012 über G2512 die Reinigung.

26 G2532 Und G2064 sie kamen G4314 zu G2491 Johannes G2532 und G2036 sprachen G846 zu ihm: G4461 Rabbi, G3739 der G4008 jenseit G2446 des Jordan G3326 bei G4675 dir G2258 war, G3739 dem G4771 du G3140 Zeugnis gegeben hast, G2396 siehe, G3778 der G907 tauft, G2532 und G3956 alle G2064 kommen G4314 zu G846 ihm.

27 G2491 Johannes G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach: G444 Ein Mensch G1410 kann G3756 G3762 nichts G2983 empfangen, G3362 es sei G846 ihm G3362 denn G1537 aus G3772 dem Himmel G5600 G1325 gegeben.

28 G5210 Ihr G846 selbst G3140 gebet G3427 mir G3140 Zeugnis, G3754 daß G2036 ich sagte: G1473 Ich G1510 bin G3756 nicht G5547 der Christus, G235 sondern G3754 daß G1510 ich G1715 vor G1565 ihm G649 hergesandt bin.

29 G2192 Der G3565 die Braut G2192 hat, G2076 ist G3566 der Bräutigam; G5384 der Freund G3566 des Bräutigams G1161 aber, G3588 der G2476 dasteht G2532 und G846 ihn G191 hört, G5463 ist G5479 hoch G5463 erfreut G1223 über G5456 die Stimme G3566 des Bräutigams; G3778 diese G1699 meine G5479 Freude G3767 nun G4137 ist erfüllt.

30 G1565 Er G1163 muß G837 wachsen, G1691 ich G1161 aber G1642 abnehmen.

31 G509 Der von oben G2064 kommt, G2076 ist G1883 über G3956 allen; G5607 der G1537 von G1093 der Erde G5607 ist, G2076 ist G1537 von G1093 der Erde G2532 und G2980 redet G1537 von G1093 der Erde. G2064 Der G1537 vom G3772 Himmel G2064 kommt, G2076 ist G1883 über G3956 allen,

32 G2532 [und] G3739 was G3708 er gesehen G2532 und G191 gehört hat, G5124 dieses G3140 bezeugt er; G2532 und G846 sein G3141 Zeugnis G2983 nimmt G3762 niemand G2983 an.

33 G2983 Wer G846 sein G3141 Zeugnis G2983 angenommen hat, G4972 hat besiegelt, G3754 daß G2316 Gott G227 wahrhaftig G2076 ist.

34 G1063 Denn G3739 der, welchen G2316 Gott G649 gesandt hat, G2980 redet G4487 die Worte G2316 Gottes; G1063 denn G2316 Gott G1325 gibt G4151 den Geist G3756 nicht G1537 nach G3358 Maß.

35 G3962 Der Vater G25 liebt G5207 den Sohn G2532 und G1325 hat G3956 alles G1722 in G846 seine G5495 Hand G1325 gegeben.

36 G4100 Wer G1519 an G5207 den Sohn G4100 glaubt, G2192 hat G166 ewiges G2222 Leben; G544 wer G1161 aber G5207 dem Sohne G544 nicht glaubt, G3700 wird G2222 das Leben G3756 nicht G3700 sehen, G235 sondern G3709 der Zorn G2316 Gottes G3306 bleibt G1909 auf G846 ihm.

ELB1905⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Es war aber ein Mensch aus den Pharisäern, sein Name Nikodemus, ein Oberster der Juden. ² Dieser kam zu ihm bei Nacht und sprach zu ihm: Rabbi, wir wissen, daß du ein Lehrer bist, von Gott gekommen, denn niemand kann diese Zeichen tun, die du tust, es sei denn Gott mit ihm. ³ Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Es sei denn, daß jemand von neuem O. von oben her geboren werde, so kann er das Reich Gottes nicht sehen. ⁴ Nikodemus spricht zu ihm: Wie kann ein Mensch geboren werden, wenn er alt ist? Kann er etwa zum zweiten Male in den Leib seiner Mutter eingehen und geboren werden? ⁵ Jesus antwortete: Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Es sei denn, daß jemand aus Wasser und Geist geboren werde, so kann er nicht in das Reich Gottes eingehen. ⁶ Was aus dem Fleische geboren ist, ist Fleisch, und was aus dem Geiste geboren ist, ist Geist. ⁷ Verwundere dich nicht, daß ich dir sagte: Ihr müsset von neuem O. von oben her geboren werden. ⁸ Der Wind weht, wo er will, und du hörst sein Sausen, aber du weißt nicht, woher er kommt, und wohin er geht; also ist jeder, der aus dem Geiste geboren ist. ⁹ Nikodemus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Wie kann dies geschehen? ¹⁰ Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Du bist der Lehrer Israels und weißt dieses nicht? ¹¹ Wahrlich, wahrlich, ich sage dir: Wir reden, was wir wissen, und bezeugen, was wir gesehen haben, und unser Zeugnis nehmet ihr nicht an. ¹² Wenn ich euch das Irdische gesagt habe, und ihr glaubet nicht, wie werdet ihr glauben, wenn ich euch das Himmlische sage? ¹³ Und niemand ist hinaufgestiegen in den Himmel, als nur der aus dem Himmel herabgestiegen ist, der Sohn des Menschen, der im Himmel ist. ¹⁴ Und gleichwie Moses in der Wüste die Schlange erhöhte, also muß der Sohn des Menschen erhöht werden, ¹⁵ auf daß jeder, der an ihn glaubt, nicht verloren gehe, sondern ewiges Leben habe. ¹⁶ Denn also hat Gott die Welt geliebt, daß er seinen eingeborenen Sohn gab, auf daß jeder, der an ihn glaubt, nicht verloren gehe, sondern ewiges Leben habe. ¹⁷ Denn Gott hat seinen Sohn nicht in die Welt gesandt, auf daß er die Welt richte, sondern auf daß die Welt durch ihn errettet werde. ¹⁸ Wer an ihn glaubt, wird nicht gerichtet; wer aber nicht glaubt, ist schon gerichtet, weil er nicht geglaubt hat an den Namen des eingeborenen Sohnes Gottes. ¹⁹ Dies aber ist das Gericht, daß das Licht in die Welt gekommen ist, und die Menschen haben die Finsternis mehr geliebt als das Licht, denn ihre Werke waren böse. ²⁰ Denn jeder, der Arges tut, haßt das Licht und kommt nicht zu dem Lichte, auf daß seine Werke nicht bloßgestellt O. gestraft werden; ²¹ wer aber die Wahrheit tut, kommt zu dem Lichte, auf daß seine Werke offenbar werden, daß sie in Gott gewirkt sind. ²² Nach diesem kam Jesus und seine Jünger in das Land Judäa, und daselbst verweilte er mit ihnen und taufte. ²³ Aber auch Johannes taufte zu Änon, nahe bei Salim, weil viel Wasser daselbst war; und sie kamen hin und wurden getauft. ²⁴ Denn Johannes war noch nicht ins Gefängnis geworfen. ²⁵ Es entstand nun eine Streitfrage unter den Jüngern Johannes' mit einem Juden über die Reinigung. ²⁶ Und sie kamen zu Johannes und sprachen zu ihm: Rabbi, der jenseit des Jordan bei dir war, dem du Zeugnis gegeben hast, siehe, der tauft, und alle kommen zu ihm. ²⁷ Johannes antwortete und sprach: Ein Mensch kann nichts empfangen, O. nehmen es sei ihm denn aus dem Himmel gegeben. ²⁸ Ihr selbst gebet mir Zeugnis, daß ich sagte: Ich bin nicht der Christus, sondern daß ich vor ihm hergesandt bin. ²⁹ Der die Braut hat, ist der Bräutigam; der Freund des Bräutigams aber, der dasteht und ihn hört, ist hoch erfreut über die Stimme des Bräutigams; diese meine Freude nun ist erfüllt. ³⁰ Er muß wachsen, ich aber abnehmen. ³¹ Der von ober kommt, ist über allen; O. über allem der von der W. aus der, dh. der daselbst seinen Ursprung hat Erde dh. wie einer, der von der Erde ist; od.: von der Erde aus ist, ist von der Erde und redet von der Erde.

1 G2258 Es war G1161 aber G444 ein Mensch G1537 aus G5330 den Pharisäern G3686 , sein Name G3530 Nikodemus G758 , ein Oberster G2453 der Juden .

2 G3778 Dieser G2064 kam G4314 zu G2424 ihm G3571 bei Nacht G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G4461 : Rabbi G1492 , wir wissen G3754 , daß G2064 du G1320 ein Lehrer G2064 bist G575 , von G2316 Gott G2064 gekommen G1063 , denn G3762 niemand G1410 kann G5023 diese G4592 Zeichen G4160 tun G3739 , die G4771 du G4160 tust G3362 , es sei denn G2316 Gott G3326 -G5600 mit G846 ihm .

3 G2424 Jesus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G281 : Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 , ich sage G4671 dir G3362 : Es sei denn G5100 , daß jemand G509 von neuem G1080 geboren werde G1410 , so kann G932 er das Reich G2316 Gottes G3756 nicht G1492 sehen .

4 G3530 Nikodemus G3004 spricht G4314 zu G846 ihm G4459 : Wie G1410 kann G444 ein Mensch G1080 geboren werden G1088 , wenn er alt G5607 ist G1410 ? Kann er G3361 etwa G1208 zum zweiten Male G1519 in G2836 den Leib G846 seiner G3384 Mutter G1525 eingehen G2532 und G1080 geboren werden ?

5 G2424 Jesus G611 antwortete G281 : Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 , ich sage G4671 dir G3362 : Es sei denn G5100 , daß jemand G1537 aus G5204 Wasser G2532 und G4151 Geist G1080 geboren werde G1410 , so kann er G3756 nicht G1519 in G932 das Reich G2316 Gottes G1525 eingehen .

6 G1080 Was G1537 aus G4561 dem Fleische G1080 geboren ist G2076 , ist G4561 Fleisch G2532 , und G1080 was G1537 aus G4151 dem Geiste G1080 geboren ist G2076 , ist G4151 Geist .

7 G2296 Verwundere dich G3361 nicht G3754 , daß G2036 ich G4671 dir G2036 sagte G5209 : Ihr G1163 müsset G509 von neuem G1080 geboren werden .

8 G4151 Der Wind G4154 weht G3699 , wo G2309 er will G2532 , und G191 du hörst G846 sein G5456 Sausen G235 , aber G1492 du weißt G3756 nicht G4159 , woher G2064 er kommt G2532 , und G4226 wohin G5217 er geht G3779 ; also G2076 ist G3956 jeder G1537 , der aus G4151 dem Geiste G1080 geboren ist .

9 G3530 Nikodemus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G4459 : Wie G1410 kann G5023 dies G1096 geschehen ?

10 G2424 Jesus G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G846 zu ihm G4771 : Du G1488 bist G1320 der Lehrer G2474 Israels G2532 und G1097 weißt G5023 dieses G3756 nicht ?

11 G281 Wahrlich G281 , wahrlich G3004 , ich sage G4671 dir G2980 : Wir reden G3739 -G3754 , was G1492 wir wissen G2532 , und G3140 bezeugen G3739 , was G3708 wir gesehen haben G2532 , und G2257 unser G3141 Zeugnis G2983 nehmet G3756 ihr nicht G2983 an .

12 G1487 Wenn G2036 ich G5213 euch G1919 das Irdische G2036 gesagt habe G2532 , und G4100 ihr glaubet G3756 nicht G4459 , wie G4100 werdet ihr glauben G1437 , wenn G2036 ich G5213 euch G2032 das Himmlische G2036 sage ?

13 G2532 Und G3762 niemand G305 ist hinaufgestiegen G1519 in G3772 den Himmel G1508 , als nur G2597 der G1537 aus G3772 dem Himmel G2597 herabgestiegen ist G5207 , der Sohn G444 des Menschen G3588 , der G1722 im G3772 Himmel G5607 ist .

14 G2532 Und G2531 gleichwie G3475 Moses G1722 in G2048 der Wüste G3789 die Schlange G5312 erhöhte G3779 , also G1163 muß G5207 der Sohn G444 des Menschen G5312 erhöht werden,

15 G3363 auf daß G3956 jeder G1519 , der an G846 ihn G4100 glaubt G3363 , [nicht G622 verloren gehe G235 , sondern G166 ]ewiges G2222 Leben G2192 habe .

16 G1063 Denn G3779 also G2316 hat Gott G2889 die Welt G25 geliebt G5620 , daß G846 er seinen G3439 eingeborenen G5207 Sohn G1325 gab G2443 , auf daß G3956 jeder G1519 , der an G846 ihn G4100 glaubt G3361 , nicht G622 -G622 verloren gehe G235 , sondern G166 ewiges G2222 Leben G2192 habe .

17 G1063 Denn G2316 Gott G649 hat G846 seinen G5207 Sohn G3756 nicht G1519 in G2889 die Welt G649 gesandt G2443 , auf daß G2889 er die Welt G2919 richte G235 , sondern G2443 auf daß G2889 die Welt G1223 durch G846 ihn G4982 errettet werde .

18 G4100 Wer G1519 an G846 ihn G4100 glaubt G2919 , wird G3756 nicht G2919 gerichtet G4100 ; wer G1161 aber G3361 nicht G4100 glaubt G2919 , ist G2235 schon G2919 gerichtet G3754 , weil G3361 er nicht G4100 geglaubt hat G1519 an G3686 den Namen G3439 des eingeborenen G5207 Sohnes G2316 Gottes .

19 G3778 Dies G1161 aber G2076 ist G2920 das Gericht G3754 , daß G5457 das Licht G1519 in G2889 die Welt G2064 gekommen G2532 ist, und G444 die Menschen G25 haben G4655 die Finsternis G3123 mehr G25 geliebt G2228 als G5457 das Licht G1063 , denn G846 ihre G2041 Werke G2258 waren G4190 böse .

20 G1063 Denn G3956 jeder G5337 , der Arges G4238 tut G3404 , haßt G5457 das Licht G2532 und G2064 kommt G3756 nicht G4314 zu G5457 dem Lichte G3363 , auf daß G846 seine G2041 Werke G3363 nicht G1651 bloßgestellt werden;

21 G4160 wer G1161 aber G225 die Wahrheit G4160 tut G2064 , kommt G4314 zu G5457 dem Lichte G2443 , auf daß G846 seine G2041 Werke G5319 offenbar werden G3754 , daß G1722 sie in G2316 Gott G2038 -G2076 gewirkt sind .

22 G3326 Nach G5023 diesem G2064 kam G2424 Jesus G2532 und G846 seine G3101 Jünger G1519 in G1093 das Land G2449 -G2453 Judäa G2532 , und G1563 daselbst G1304 verweilte er G3326 mit G846 ihnen G2532 und G907 taufte .

23 G1161 Aber G2532 auch G2491 Johannes G907 -G2258 taufte G1722 zu G137 Aenon G1451 , nahe bei G4530 Salim G3754 , weil G4183 viel G5204 Wasser G1563 daselbst G2258 war G2532 ; und G3854 sie kamen hin G2532 und G907 wurden getauft .

24 G1063 Denn G2491 Johannes G2258 war G3768 noch nicht G1519 ins G5438 Gefängnis G906 geworfen .

25 G1096 Es entstand G3767 nun G2214 eine Streitfrage G1537 -G3326 unter G3101 den Jüngern G2491 Johannes' G2453 mit einem Juden G4012 über G2512 die Reinigung .

26 G2532 Und G2064 sie kamen G4314 zu G2491 Johannes G2532 und G2036 sprachen G846 zu ihm G4461 : Rabbi G3739 , der G4008 jenseit G2446 des Jordan G3326 bei G4675 dir G2258 war G3739 , dem G4771 du G3140 Zeugnis gegeben hast G2396 , siehe G3778 , der G907 tauft G2532 , und G3956 alle G2064 kommen G4314 zu G846 ihm .

27 G2491 Johannes G611 antwortete G2532 und G2036 sprach G444 : Ein Mensch G1410 kann G3756 -G3762 nichts G2983 empfangen G3362 , es sei G846 ihm G3362 denn G1537 aus G3772 dem Himmel G1325 -G5600 gegeben .

28 G5210 Ihr G846 selbst G3140 gebet G3427 mir G3140 Zeugnis G3754 , daß G2036 ich sagte G1473 : Ich G1510 bin G3756 nicht G5547 der Christus G235 , sondern G3754 daß G1510 ich G1715 vor G1565 ihm G649 hergesandt bin .

29 G2192 Der G3565 die Braut G2192 hat G2076 , ist G3566 der Bräutigam G5384 ; der Freund G3566 des Bräutigams G1161 aber G3588 , der G2476 dasteht G2532 und G846 ihn G191 hört G5463 , ist G5479 hoch G5463 erfreut G1223 über G5456 die Stimme G3566 des Bräutigams G3778 ; diese G1699 meine G5479 Freude G3767 nun G4137 ist erfüllt .

30 G1565 Er G1163 muß G837 wachsen G1691 , ich G1161 aber G1642 abnehmen .

31 G509 Der von oben G2064 kommt G2076 , ist G1883 über G3956 allen G5607 ; der G1537 von G1093 der Erde G5607 ist G2076 , ist G1537 von G1093 der Erde G2532 und G2980 redet G1537 von G1093 der Erde G2064 . Der G1537 vom G3772 Himmel G2064 kommt G2076 , ist G1883 über G3956 allen,

32 G2532 [und G3739 ]was G3708 er gesehen G2532 und G191 gehört G5124 hat, dieses G3140 bezeugt er G2532 ; und G846 sein G3141 Zeugnis G2983 nimmt G3762 niemand G2983 an .

33 G2983 Wer G846 sein G3141 Zeugnis G2983 angenommen hat G4972 , hat besiegelt G3754 , daß G2316 Gott G227 wahrhaftig G2076 ist .

34 G1063 Denn G3739 der, welchen G2316 Gott G649 gesandt hat G2980 , redet G4487 die Worte G2316 Gottes G1063 ; denn G2316 Gott G1325 gibt G4151 den Geist G3756 nicht G1537 nach G3358 Maß .

35 G3962 Der Vater G25 liebt G5207 den Sohn G2532 und G1325 hat G3956 alles G1722 in G846 seine G5495 Hand G1325 gegeben .

36 G4100 Wer G1519 an G5207 den Sohn G4100 glaubt G2192 , hat G166 ewiges G2222 Leben G544 ; wer G1161 aber G5207 dem Sohne G544 nicht glaubt G3700 , wird G2222 das Leben G3756 nicht G3700 sehen G235 , sondern G3709 der Zorn G2316 Gottes G3306 bleibt G1909 auf G846 ihm .

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ En er was een mens uit de Farizeën, wiens naam was Nicodemus, een overste der Joden; ² Deze kwam des nachts tot Jezus, en zeide tot Hem: Rabbi, wij weten, dat Gij zijt een Leraar van God gekomen; want niemand kan deze tekenen doen, die Gij doet, zo God met hem niet is. ³ Jezus antwoordde en zeide tot hem: Voorwaar, voorwaar zeg Ik u: Tenzij dat iemand wederom geboren worde, hij kan het Koninkrijk Gods niet zien. ⁴ Nicodemus zeide tot Hem: Hoe kan een mens geboren worden, nu oud zijnde? Kan hij ook andermaal in zijner moeders buik ingaan, en geboren worden? ⁵ Jezus antwoordde: Voorwaar, voorwaar zeg Ik u: Zo iemand niet geboren wordt uit water en Geest, hij kan in het Koninkrijk Gods niet ingaan. ⁶ Hetgeen uit het vlees geboren is, dat is vlees; en hetgeen uit den Geest geboren is, dat is geest. ⁷ Verwonder u niet, dat Ik u gezegd heb: Gijlieden moet wederom geboren worden. ⁸ De wind blaast, waarheen hij wil, en gij hoort zijn geluid; maar gij weet niet, van waar hij komt, en waar hij heen gaat; alzo is een iegelijk, die uit den Geest geboren is. ⁹ Nicodemus antwoordde en zeide tot Hem: Hoe kunnen deze dingen geschieden? ¹⁰ Jezus antwoordde en zeide tot hem: Zijt gij een leraar van Israël, en weet gij deze dingen niet? ¹¹ Voorwaar, voorwaar zeg Ik u: Wij spreken, wat Wij weten, en getuigen, wat Wij gezien hebben; en gijlieden neemt Onze getuigenis niet aan. ¹² Indien Ik ulieden de aardse dingen gezegd heb, en gij niet gelooft, hoe zult gij geloven, indien Ik ulieden de hemelse zou zeggen? ¹³ En niemand is opgevaren in den hemel, dan Die uit den hemel nedergekomen is, namelijk de Zoon des mensen, Die in den hemel is. ¹⁴ En gelijk Mozes de slang in de woestijn verhoogd heeft, alzo moet de Zoon des mensen verhoogd worden; ¹⁵ Opdat een iegelijk, die in Hem gelooft, niet verderve, maar het eeuwige leven hebbe. ¹⁶ Want alzo lief heeft God de wereld gehad, dat Hij Zijn eniggeboren Zoon gegeven heeft, opdat een iegelijk die in Hem gelooft, niet verderve, maar het eeuwige leven hebbe. ¹⁷ Want God heeft Zijn Zoon niet gezonden in de wereld, opdat Hij de wereld veroordelen zou, maar opdat de wereld door Hem zou behouden worden. ¹⁸ Die in Hem gelooft, wordt niet veroordeeld, maar die niet gelooft, is alrede veroordeeld, dewijl hij niet heeft geloofd in den Naam des eniggeboren Zoons van God. ¹⁹ En dit is het oordeel, dat het licht in de wereld gekomen is, en de mensen hebben de duisternis liever gehad dan het licht; want hun werken waren boos. ²⁰ Want een iegelijk, die kwaad doet, haat het licht, en komt tot het licht niet, opdat zijn werken niet bestraft worden. ²¹ Maar die de waarheid doet, komt tot het licht, opdat zijn werken openbaar worden, dat zij in God gedaan zijn. ²² Na dezen kwam Jezus en Zijn discipelen in het land van Judea, en onthield Zich aldaar met hen, en doopte. ²³ En Johannes doopte ook in Enon bij Salim, dewijl aldaar vele wateren waren; en zij kwamen daar, en werden gedoopt. ²⁴ Want Johannes was nog niet in de gevangenis geworpen. ²⁵ Er rees dan een vraag van enigen uit de discipelen van Johannes met de Joden over de reiniging. ²⁶ En zij kwamen tot Johannes, en zeiden tot hem: Rabbi, Die met u was over de Jordaan, Welken gij getuigenis gaaft, zie, Die doopt, en zij komen allen tot Hem. ²⁷ Johannes antwoordde en zeide: Een mens kan geen ding aannemen, zo het hem uit den hemel niet gegeven zij. ²⁸ Gijzelven zijt mijn getuigen, dat ik gezegd heb: Ik ben de Christus niet; maar dat ik voor Hem heen uitgezonden ben. ²⁹ Die de bruid heeft, is de bruidegom, maar de vriend des bruidegoms, die staat en hem hoort, verblijdt zich met blijdschap om de stem des bruidegoms. Zo is dan deze mijn blijdschap vervuld geworden. ³⁰ Hij moet wassen, maar ik minder worden. ³¹ Die van boven komt, is boven allen; die uit de aarde is voortgekomen, die is uit de aarde, en spreekt uit de aarde. Die uit den hemel komt, is boven allen. ³² En hetgeen Hij gezien en gehoord heeft, dat getuigt Hij; en Zijn getuigenis neemt niemand aan. ³³ Die Zijn getuigenis aangenomen heeft, die heeft verzegeld, dat God waarachtig is. ³⁴ Want Dien God gezonden heeft, Die spreekt de woorden Gods; want God geeft Hem den Geest niet met mate. ³⁵ De Vader heeft den Zoon lief, en heeft alle dingen in Zijn hand gegeven. ³⁶ Die in den Zoon gelooft, die heeft het eeuwige leven; maar die den Zoon ongehoorzaam is, die zal het leven niet zien, maar de toorn Gods blijft op hem.

1 G1161 En G2258 G5713 er was G444 een mens G1537 uit G5330 de Farizeen G3686 , wiens naam G3530 was Nicodemus G758 , een overste G2453 der Joden;

2 G3778 Deze G2064 G5627 kwam G3571 des nachts G4314 tot G2424 Jezus G2532 , en G2036 G5627 zeide G846 tot Hem G4461 : Rabbi G1492 G5758 , wij weten G3754 , dat G2064 G Gij zijt G1320 een Leraar G575 van G2316 God G2064 G5754 gekomen G1063 ; want G3762 niemand G1410 G5736 kan G5023 deze G4592 tekenen G4160 G5721 doen G3739 , die G4771 Gij G4160 G5719 doet G1437 , zo G2316 God G3326 met G846 hem G3361 niet G5600 G5753 is.

3 G2424 Jezus G611 G5662 antwoordde G2532 en G2036 G5627 zeide G846 tot hem G281 : Voorwaar G281 , voorwaar G3004 G5719 zeg Ik G4671 u G3362 : Tenzij G5100 dat iemand G509 wederom G1080 G5686 geboren worde G1410 G5736 , hij kan G932 het Koninkrijk G2316 Gods G3756 niet G1492 G5629 zien.

4 G3530 Nicodemus G3004 G5719 zeide G4314 tot G846 Hem G4459 : Hoe G1410 G5736 kan G444 een mens G1080 G5683 geboren worden G1088 , [nu] oud G5607 G5752 zijnde G3361 ? G1410 G5736 Kan hij G1208 ook andermaal G1519 in G846 zijner G3384 moeders G2836 buik G1525 G5629 ingaan G2532 , en G1080 G5683 geboren worden?

5 G2424 Jezus G611 G5662 antwoordde G281 : Voorwaar G281 , voorwaar G3004 G5719 zeg Ik G4671 u G1347 : Zo G5100 iemand G3361 niet G1080 G5686 geboren wordt G1537 uit G5204 water G2532 en G4151 Geest G1410 G5736 , hij kan G1519 in G932 het Koninkrijk G2316 Gods G3756 niet G1525 G5629 ingaan.

6 G1537 Hetgeen uit G4561 het vlees G1080 G5772 geboren is G2076 G5748 , [dat] is G4561 vlees G2532 ; en G1537 hetgeen uit G4151 den Geest G1080 G5772 geboren is G2076 G5748 , [dat] is G4151 geest.

7 G2296 G5661 Verwonder u G3361 niet G3754 , dat G4671 Ik u G2036 G5627 gezegd heb G5209 : Gijlieden G1163 G5748 moet G509 wederom G1080 G5683 geboren worden.

8 G4151 De wind G4154 G5719 blaast G3699 , waarheen G2309 G5719 hij wil G2532 , en G191 G5719 gij hoort G846 zijn G5456 geluid G235 ; maar G1492 G5758 gij weet G3756 niet G4159 , van waar G2064 G5736 hij komt G2532 , en G4226 waar hij heen G5217 G5719 gaat G3779 ; alzo G2076 G5748 is G3956 een iegelijk G1537 , die uit G4151 den Geest G1080 G5772 geboren is.

9 G3530 Nicodemus G611 G5662 antwoordde G2532 en G2036 G5627 zeide G846 tot Hem G4459 : Hoe G1410 G5736 kunnen G5023 deze dingen G1096 G5635 geschieden?

10 G2424 Jezus G611 G5662 antwoordde G2532 en G2036 G5627 zeide G846 tot hem G1488 G5748 : Zijt G4771 gij G1320 een leraar G2474 van Israel G2532 , en G1097 G5719 weet gij G5023 deze dingen G3756 niet?

11 G281 Voorwaar G281 , voorwaar G3004 G5719 zeg Ik G4671 u G3754 : G2980 G5719 Wij spreken G3739 , wat G1492 G5758 Wij weten G2532 , en G3140 G5719 getuigen G3739 , wat G3708 G5758 Wij gezien hebben G2532 ; en G2983 G gijlieden neemt G2257 Onze G3141 getuigenis G3756 niet G2983 G5719 aan.

12 G1487 Indien G5213 Ik ulieden G1919 de aardse dingen G2036 G5627 gezegd heb G2532 , en G3756 gij niet G4100 G5719 gelooft G4459 , hoe G4100 G5692 zult gij geloven G1437 , indien G5213 Ik ulieden G2032 de hemelse G2036 G5632 zou zeggen?

13 G2532 En G3762 niemand G305 G5758 is opgevaren G1519 in G3772 den hemel G1508 , dan G1537 Die uit G3772 den hemel G2597 G5631 nedergekomen is G5207 , [namelijk] de Zoon G444 des mensen G3588 , Die G1722 in G3772 den hemel G5607 G5752 is.

14 G2532 En G2531 gelijk G3475 Mozes G3789 de slang G1722 in G2048 de woestijn G5312 G5656 verhoogd heeft G3779 , alzo G1163 G5748 moet G5207 de Zoon G444 des mensen G5312 G5683 verhoogd worden;

15 G2443 Opdat G3956 een iegelijk G1519 , die in G846 Hem G4100 G5723 gelooft G3361 , niet G622 G5643 verderve G235 , maar G166 het eeuwige G2222 leven G2192 G5725 hebbe.

16 G1063 Want G3779 alzo G25 G lief heeft G2316 God G2889 de wereld G25 G5656 gehad G5620 , dat G846 Hij Zijn G3439 eniggeboren G5207 Zoon G1325 G5656 gegeven heeft G2443 , opdat G3956 een iegelijk G1519 die in G846 Hem G4100 G5723 gelooft G3361 , niet G622 G5643 verderve G235 , maar G166 het eeuwige G2222 leven G2192 G5725 hebbe.

17 G1063 Want G2316 God G846 heeft Zijn G5207 Zoon G3756 niet G649 G5656 gezonden G1519 in G2889 de wereld G2443 , opdat G2889 Hij de wereld G2919 G5725 veroordelen zou G235 , maar G2443 opdat G2889 de wereld G1223 door G846 Hem G4982 G5686 zou behouden worden.

18 G1519 Die in G846 Hem G4100 G5723 gelooft G3756 , wordt niet G2919 G5743 veroordeeld G1161 , maar G3361 die niet G4100 G5723 gelooft G2235 , is alrede G2919 G5769 veroordeeld G3754 , dewijl G3361 hij niet G4100 G5758 heeft geloofd G1519 in G3686 den Naam G3439 des eniggeboren G5207 Zoons G2316 van God.

19 G1161 En G3778 dit G2076 G5748 is G2920 het oordeel G3754 , dat G5457 het licht G1519 in G2889 de wereld G2064 G5754 gekomen is G2532 , en G444 de mensen G25 G hebben G4655 de duisternis G3123 liever G25 G5656 gehad G2228 dan G5457 het licht G1063 ; want G846 hun G2041 werken G2258 G5713 waren G4190 boos.

20 G1063 Want G3956 een iegelijk G5337 , die kwaad G4238 G5723 doet G3404 G5719 , haat G5457 het licht G2532 , en G2064 G5736 komt G4314 tot G5457 het licht G3756 niet G2443 , opdat G846 zijn G2041 werken G3361 niet G1651 G5686 bestraft worden.

21 G1161 Maar G225 die de waarheid G4160 G5723 doet G2064 G5736 , komt G4314 tot G5457 het licht G2443 , opdat G846 zijn G2041 werken G5319 G5686 openbaar worden G3754 , dat G1722 zij in G2316 God G2038 G5772 gedaan G2076 G5748 zijn.

22 G3326 Na G5023 dezen G2064 G5627 kwam G2424 Jezus G2532 en G846 Zijn G3101 discipelen G1519 in G1093 het land G2449 G2453 van Judea G2532 , en G1304 G5707 onthield Zich G1563 aldaar G3326 met G846 hen G2532 , en G907 G5707 doopte.

23 G1161 En G2491 Johannes G2258 G5713 G907 G5723 doopte G2532 ook G1722 in G137 Enon G1451 bij G4530 Salim G3754 , dewijl G1563 aldaar G4183 vele G5204 wateren G2258 G5713 waren G2532 ; en G3854 G5708 zij kwamen daar G2532 , en G907 G5712 werden gedoopt.

24 G1063 Want G2491 Johannes G2258 G5713 was G3768 nog niet G1519 in G5438 de gevangenis G906 G5772 geworpen.

25 G1096 G5633 Er rees G3767 dan G2214 een vraag G1537 [van] [enigen] uit G3101 de discipelen G2491 van Johannes G3326 met G2453 de Joden G4012 over G2512 de reiniging.

26 G2532 En G2064 G5627 zij kwamen G4314 tot G2491 Johannes G2532 , en G2036 G5627 zeiden G846 tot hem G4461 : Rabbi G3739 , Die G3326 met G4675 u G2258 G5713 was G4008 over G2446 de Jordaan G3739 , Welken G4771 gij G3140 G5758 getuigenis gaaft G2396 , zie G3778 , Die G907 G5719 doopt G2532 , en G2064 G5736 zij komen G3956 allen G4314 tot G846 Hem.

27 G2491 Johannes G611 G5662 antwoordde G2532 en G2036 G5627 zeide G444 : Een mens G1410 G5736 kan G3756 geen G3762 ding G2983 G5721 aannemen G1437 , zo G846 het hem G1537 uit G3772 den hemel G3361 niet G1325 G5772 gegeven G5600 G5753 zij.

28 G5210 G846 Gijzelven G3140 G zijt G3427 mijn G3140 G5719 getuigen G3754 , dat G2036 G5627 ik gezegd heb G1473 : Ik G1510 G5748 ben G5547 de Christus G3756 niet G235 ; maar G3754 dat G1715 G ik voor G1565 Hem G1715 heen G649 G5772 uitgezonden G1510 G5748 ben.

29 G3565 Die de bruid G2192 G5723 heeft G2076 G5748 , is G3566 de bruidegom G1161 , maar G5384 de vriend G3566 des bruidegoms G3588 , die G2476 G5761 staat G2532 en G846 hem G191 G5723 hoort G5463 G5719 , verblijdt zich G5479 met blijdschap G1223 om G5456 de stem G3566 des bruidegoms G3767 . Zo is dan G3778 deze G1699 mijn G5479 blijdschap G4137 G5769 vervuld geworden.

30 G1565 Hij G1163 G5748 moet G837 G5721 wassen G1161 , maar G1691 ik G1642 G5745 minder worden.

31 G509 Die van boven G2064 G5740 komt G2076 G5748 , is G1883 boven G3956 allen G1537 ; die uit G1093 de aarde G5607 G5752 is G2076 G5748 [voortgekomen], die is G1537 uit G1093 de aarde G2532 , en G2980 G5719 spreekt G1537 uit G1093 de aarde G1537 . Die uit G3772 den hemel G2064 G5740 komt G2076 G5748 , is G1883 boven G3956 allen.

32 G2532 En G3739 hetgeen G3708 G5758 Hij gezien G2532 en G191 G5656 gehoord heeft G5124 , dat G3140 G5719 getuigt Hij G2532 ; en G846 Zijn G3141 getuigenis G2983 G neemt G3762 niemand G2983 G5719 aan.

33 G846 Die Zijn G3141 getuigenis G2983 G5631 aangenomen heeft G4972 G5656 , die heeft verzegeld G3754 , dat G2316 God G227 waarachtig G2076 G5748 is.

34 G1063 Want G3739 Dien G2316 God G649 G5656 gezonden heeft G2980 G5719 , Die spreekt G4487 de woorden G2316 Gods G1063 ; want G2316 God G1325 G5719 geeft G4151 [Hem] den Geest G3756 niet G1537 met G3358 mate.

35 G3962 De Vader G25 G heeft G5207 den Zoon G25 G5719 lief G2532 , en G3956 heeft alle dingen G1722 in G846 Zijn G5495 hand G1325 G5758 gegeven.

36 G1519 Die in G5207 den Zoon G4100 G5723 gelooft G2192 G5719 , die heeft G166 het eeuwige G2222 leven G1161 ; maar G5207 die den Zoon G544 G5723 ongehoorzaam is G2222 , die zal het leven G3756 niet G3700 G5695 zien G235 , maar G3709 de toorn G2316 Gods G3306 G5719 blijft G1909 op G846 hem.

Mais il y avait un homme d'entre les pharisiens, dont le nom était Nicodème, qui était un chef des Juifs. ² Celui-ci vint à lui de nuit, et lui dit: Rabbi, nous savons que tu es un docteur venu de Dieu; car personne ne peut faire ces miracles que toit tu fais, si Dieu n'est avec lui. ³ Jésus répondit et lui dit: En vérité, en vérité, je te dis: Si quelqu'un n'est né de nouveau, il ne peut voir le royaume de Dieu. ⁴ Nicodème lui dit: Comment un homme peut-il naître quand il est vieux? Peut-il entrer une seconde fois dans le sein de sa mère et naître? ⁵ Jésus répondit: En vérité, en vérité, je te dis: Si quelqu'un n'est né d'eau et de l'Esprit, il ne peut entrer dans le royaume de Dieu. ⁶ Ce qui est né de la chair est chair; et ce qui est né de l'Esprit est esprit. ⁷ Ne t'étonne pas de ce que je t'ai dit: Il vous faut être nés de nouveau. ⁸ Le vent souffle où il veut, et tu en entends le son; mais tu ne sais pas d'où il vient, ni où il va: il en est ainsi de tout homme qui est né de l'Esprit. ⁹ Nicodème répondit et lui dit: Comment ces choses peuvent-elles se faire? ¹⁰ Jésus répondit et lui dit: Tu es le docteur d'Israël, et tu ne connais pas ces choses? ¹¹ En vérité, en vérité, je te dis: Nous disons ce que nous connaissons, et nous rendons témoignage de ce que nous avons vu, et vous ne recevez pas notre témoignage. ¹² Si je vous ai parlé des choses terrestres, et que vous ne croyiez pas, comment croirez-vous, si je vous parle des choses célestes? ¹³ Et personne n'est monté au ciel, sinon celui qui est descendu du ciel, le fils de l'homme qui est dans le ciel. ¹⁴ Et comme Moïse éleva le serpent dans le désert, ainsi il faut que le fils de l'homme soit élevé, ¹⁵ afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse pas, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle. ¹⁶ Dieu a tant aimé le monde, qu'il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse pas, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle. ¹⁷ Car Dieu n'a pas envoyé son Fils dans le monde afin qu'il jugeât le monde, mais afin que le monde fût sauvé par lui. ¹⁸ Celui qui croit en lui n'est pas jugé, mais celui qui ne croit pas est déjà jugé, parce qu'il n'a pas cru au nom du Fils unique de Dieu. ¹⁹ Or c'est ici le jugement, que la lumière est venue dans le monde, et que les hommes ont mieux aimé les ténèbres que la lumière, car leurs oeuvres étaient mauvaises; ²⁰ car quiconque fait des choses mauvaises hait la lumière, et ne vient pas à la lumière, de peur que ses oeuvres ne soient reprises; ²¹ mais celui qui pratique la vérité vient à la lumière, afin que ses oeuvres soient manifestées, qu'elles sont faites en Dieu. ²²
Après ces choses, Jésus vint dans le pays de Judée, et ses disciples avec lui; et il séjourna là avec eux, et baptisait. ²³ Et Jean aussi baptisait en Énon, près de Salim, parce qu'il y avait là beaucoup d'eau; et on venait, et on était baptisé. ²⁴ Car Jean n'avait pas encore été jeté en prison. ²⁵ Il y eut donc une discussion entre quelques-uns des disciples de Jean et un Juif, touchant la purification. ²⁶ Et ils vinrent à Jean, et lui dirent: Rabbi, celui qui était avec toi au delà du Jourdain, à qui tu as toi-même rendu témoignage, voilà, il baptise, et tous viennent à lui. ²⁷ Jean répondit et dit: Un homme ne peut rien recevoir, à moins qu'il ne lui soit donné du ciel. ²⁸ Vous-mêmes, vous me rendez témoignage que j'ai dit: Ce n'est pas moi qui suis le Christ, mais je suis envoyé devant lui. ²⁹ Celui qui a l'épouse est l'époux; mais l'ami de l'époux, qui assiste et l'entend, est tout réjoui à cause de la voix de l'époux; cette joie donc, qui est la mienne, est accomplie. ³⁰ Il faut que lui croisse, et que moi je diminue. ³¹ Celui qui vient d'en haut est au-dessus de tous. Celui qui est de la terre est la terre, et parle comme étant de la terre. Celui qui vient du ciel est au-dessus de tous; ³² et de ce qu'il a vu et entendu, de cela il rend témoignage; et personne ne reçoit son témoignage. ³³ Celui qui a reçu son témoignage, a scellé que Dieu est vrai; ³⁴ car celui que Dieu a envoyé parle les paroles de Dieu, car Dieu ne donne pas l'Esprit par mesure. ³⁵ Le Père aime le Fils, et a mis toutes choses entre ses mains. ³⁶ Qui croit au Fils a la vie éternelle; mais qui désobéit au Fils ne verra pas la vie, mais la colère de Dieu demeure sur lui.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or il y avait un homme d'entre les Pharisiens, nommé Nicodème, qui était un des principaux d'entre les Juifs; ² Lequel vint de nuit à Jésus, et lui dit : Maître, nous savons que tu es un Docteur venu de Dieu : car personne ne peut faire les miracles que tu fais, si Dieu n'est avec lui. ³ Jésus répondit, et lui dit : en vérité, en vérité je te dis : si quelqu'un n'est né de nouveau, il ne peut point voir le Royaume de Dieu. ⁴ Nicodème lui dit : comment peut naître un homme quand il est vieux ? peut-il rentrer dans le sein de sa mère, et naître une seconde fois ? ⁵ Jésus répondit : en vérité, en vérité je te dis : si quelqu'un n'est né d'eau et d'esprit, il ne peut point entrer dans le Royaume de Dieu. ⁶ Ce qui est né de la chair, est chair; et ce qui est né de l'Esprit, est esprit. ⁷ Ne t'étonne pas de ce que je t'ai dit : il vous faut être nés de nouveau. ⁸ Le vent souffle où il veut, et tu en entends le son; mais tu ne sais d'où il vient, ni où il va : il en est ainsi de tout homme qui est né de l'Esprit. ⁹ Nicodème répondit, et lui dit : comment se peuvent faire ces choses ? ¹⁰ Jésus répondit, et lui dit : tu es Docteur d'Israël, et tu ne connais point ces choses! ¹¹ En vérité, en vérité je te dis : que ce que nous savons, nous le disons; et ce que nous avons vu, nous le témoignons; mais vous ne recevez point notre témoignage. ¹² Si je vous ai dit ces choses terrestres, et vous ne les croyez point, comment croirez-vous si je vous dis des choses célestes ? ¹³ Car personne n'est monté au ciel, sinon celui qui est descendu du ciel, savoir le Fils de l'homme qui est au ciel. ¹⁴ Or comme Moïse éleva le serpent au désert, ainsi il faut que le Fils de l'homme soit élevé; ¹⁵ Afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle, ¹⁶ Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde, qu'il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle. ¹⁷ Car Dieu n'a point envoyé son Fils au monde pour condamner le monde, mais afin que le monde soit sauvé par lui. ¹⁸ Celui qui croit en lui ne sera point condamné; mais celui qui ne croit point est déjà condamné; parce qu'il n'a point crut au Nom du Fils unique de Dieu. ¹⁹ Or c'est ici le sujet de la condamnation, que la lumière est venue au monde, et que les hommes ont mieux aimé les ténèbres que la lumière, parce que leurs oeuvres étaient mauvaises. ²⁰ Car quiconque s'adonne à des choses mauvaises, hait la lumière, et ne vient point à la lumière, de peur que ses oeuvres ne soient censurées. ²¹ Mais celui qui s'adonne à la vérité, vient à la lumière, afin que ses oeuvres soient manifestées, parce qu'elles sont faites selon Dieu. ²² Après ces choses Jésus vint avec ses Disciples au pays de Judée; et il demeurait là avec eux, et baptisait. ²³ Or Jean baptisait aussi en Enon, près de Salim, parce qu'il y avait là beaucoup d'eau; et on venait là, et on y était baptisé. ²⁴ Car Jean n'avait pas encore été mis en prison. ²⁵ Or il y eut une question mue par les disciples de Jean avec les Juifs, touchant la purification. ²⁶ Et ils vinrent à Jean, et lui dirent : Maître, celui qui était avec toi au-delà du Jourdain, et à qui tu as rendu témoignage, voilà, il baptise, et tous viennent à lui. ²⁷ Jean répondit, et dit : l'homme ne peut recevoir aucune chose, si elle ne lui est donnée du ciel. ²⁸ Vous-mêmes m'êtes témoins que j'ai dit : ce n'est pas moi qui suis le Christ, mais je suis envoyé devant lui. ²⁹ Celui qui possède l'Epouse est l'Epoux; mais l'ami de l'Epoux qui assiste, et qui l'entend, est tout réjoui par la voix de l'Epoux; c'est pourquoi cette joie que j'ai, est accomplie. ³⁰ Il faut qu'il croisse, et que je diminue. ³¹ Celui qui est venu d'en haut, est au-dessus de tous; celui qui est venu de la terre, est de la terre, et il parle comme venu de la terre; celui qui est venu du ciel, est au-dessus de tous : ³² Et ce qu'il a vu et ouï, il le témoigne; mais personne ne reçoit son témoignage. ³³ Celui qui a reçu son témoignage a scellé que Dieu est véritable. ³⁴ Car celui que Dieu a envoyé annonce les paroles de Dieu; car Dieu ne lui donne point l'Esprit par mesure. ³⁵ Le Père aime le Fils, et il lui a donné toutes choses en main. ³⁶ Qui croit au Fils, a la vie éternelle; mais qui désobéit au Fils, ne verra point la vie; mais la colère de Dieu demeure sur lui.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mais il y eut un homme d'entre les pharisiens, nommé Nicodème, un chef des Juifs, ² qui vint, lui, auprès de Jésus, de nuit, et lui dit: Rabbi, nous savons que tu es un docteur venu de Dieu; car personne ne peut faire ces miracles que tu fais, si Dieu n'est avec lui. ³ Jésus lui répondit: En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, si un homme ne naît de nouveau, il ne peut voir le royaume de Dieu. ⁴ Nicodème lui dit: Comment un homme peut-il naître quand il est vieux? Peut-il rentrer dans le sein de sa mère et naître? ⁵ Jésus répondit: En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, si un homme ne naît d'eau et d'Esprit, il ne peut entrer dans le royaume de Dieu. ⁶ Ce qui est né de la chair est chair, et ce qui est né de l'Esprit est esprit. ⁷ Ne t'étonne pas que je t'aie dit: Il faut que vous naissiez de nouveau. ⁸ Le vent souffle où il veut, et tu en entends le bruit; mais tu ne sais d'où il vient, ni où il va. Il en est ainsi de tout homme qui est né de l'Esprit. ⁹ Nicodème lui dit: Comment cela peut-il se faire? ¹⁰ Jésus lui répondit: Tu es le docteur d'Israël, et tu ne sais pas ces choses! ¹¹ En vérité, en vérité, je te le dis, nous disons ce que nous savons, et nous rendons témoignage de ce que nous avons vu; et vous ne recevez pas notre témoignage. ¹² Si vous ne croyez pas quand je vous ai parlé des choses terrestres, comment croirez-vous quand je vous parlerai des choses célestes? ¹³ Personne n'est monté au ciel, si ce n'est celui qui est descendu du ciel, le Fils de l'homme qui est dans le ciel. ¹⁴ Et comme Moïse éleva le serpent dans le désert, il faut de même que le Fils de l'homme soit élevé, ¹⁵ afin que quiconque croit en lui ait la vie éternelle. ¹⁶ Car Dieu a tant aimé le monde qu'il a donné son Fils unique, afin que quiconque croit en lui ne périsse point, mais qu'il ait la vie éternelle. ¹⁷ Dieu, en effet, n'a pas envoyé son Fils dans le monde pour qu'il juge le monde, mais pour que le monde soit sauvé par lui. ¹⁸ Celui qui croit en lui n'est point jugé; mais celui qui ne croit pas est déjà jugé, parce qu'il n'a pas cru au nom du Fils unique de Dieu. ¹⁹ Et ce jugement c'est que, la lumière étant venue dans le monde, les hommes ont préféré les ténèbres à la lumière, parce que leurs oeuvres étaient mauvaises. ²⁰ Car quiconque fait le mal hait la lumière, et ne vient point à la lumière, de peur que ses oeuvres ne soient dévoilées; ²¹ mais celui qui agit selon la vérité vient à la lumière, afin que ses oeuvres soient manifestées, parce qu'elles sont faites en Dieu. ²² Après cela, Jésus, accompagné de ses disciples, se rendit dans la terre de Judée; et là il demeurait avec eux, et il baptisait. ²³ Jean aussi baptisait à Enon, près de Salim, parce qu'il y avait là beaucoup d'eau; et on y venait pour être baptisé. ²⁴ Car Jean n'avait pas encore été mis en prison. ²⁵ Or, il s'éleva de la part des disciples de Jean une dispute avec un Juif touchant la purification. ²⁶ Ils vinrent trouver Jean, et lui dirent: Rabbi, celui qui était avec toi au delà du Jourdain, et à qui tu as rendu témoignage, voici, il baptise, et tous vont à lui. ²⁷ Jean répondit: Un homme ne peut recevoir que ce qui lui a été donné du ciel. ²⁸ Vous-mêmes m'êtes témoins que j'ai dit: Je ne suis pas le Christ, mais j'ai été envoyé devant lui. ²⁹ Celui à qui appartient l'épouse, c'est l'époux; mais l'ami de l'époux, qui se tient là et qui l'entend, éprouve une grande joie à cause de la voix de l'époux: aussi cette joie, qui est la mienne, est parfaite. ³⁰ Il faut qu'il croisse, et que je diminue. ³¹ Celui qui vient d'en haut est au-dessus de tous; celui qui est de la terre est de la terre, et il parle comme étant de la terre. Celui qui vient du ciel est au-dessus de tous, ³² il rend témoignage de ce qu'il a vu et entendu, et personne ne reçoit son témoignage. ³³ Celui qui a reçu son témoignage a certifié que Dieu est vrai; ³⁴ car celui que Dieu a envoyé dit les paroles de Dieu, parce que Dieu ne lui donne pas l'Esprit avec mesure. ³⁵ Le Père aime le Fils, et il a remis toutes choses entre ses mains. ³⁶ Celui qui croit au Fils a la vie éternelle; celui qui ne croit pas au Fils ne verra point la vie, mais la colère de Dieu demeure sur lui.

1 G1161 ¶ Mais G2258 il y eut G5713 G444 un homme G1537 d’entre G5330 les pharisiens G3686 , nommé G3530 Nicodème G758 , un chef G2453 des Juifs,

2 G2064 qui vint G5627 G3778 , lui G4314 , auprès de G2424 Jésus G3571 , de nuit G2532 , et G846 lui G2036 dit G5627 G4461 : Rabbi G1492 , nous savons G5758 G3754 que G2064 tu es G0 G1320 un docteur G2064 venu G5754 G575 de G2316 Dieu G1063 ; car G3762 personne G1410 ne peut G5736 G4160 faire G5721 G5023 ces G4592 miracles G3739 que G4771 tu G4160 fais G5719 G3362 , si G2316 Dieu G5600 n’est G5753 G3326 avec G846 lui.

3 G2424 Jésus G846 lui G611 répondit G5662 G2532 G2036 G5627 G281 : En vérité G281 , en vérité G4671 , je te G3004 le dis G5719 G3362 , si G5100 un homme G1080 ne naît G5686 G509 de nouveau G1410 , il ne peut G5736 G3756 G1492 voir G5629 G932 le royaume G2316 de Dieu.

4 G3530 Nicodème G4314 lui G846 G3004 dit G5719 G4459 : Comment G444 un homme G1410 peut-il G5736 G1080 naître G5683 G5607 quand il est G5752 G1088 vieux G3361 ? Peut-il G1410 G5736 G1525 rentrer G5629 G1208 G1519 dans G2836 le sein G846 de sa G3384 mère G2532 et G1080 naître G5683 ?

5 G2424 Jésus G611 répondit G5662 G281 : En vérité G281 , en vérité G4671 , je te G3004 le dis G5719 G3362 , si G5100 un homme G1080 ne naît G5686 G1537 d G5204 ’eau G2532 et G4151 d’Esprit G3756 , il ne peut G1410 G5736 G1525 entrer G5629 G1519 dans G932 le royaume G2316 de Dieu.

6 G1080 Ce qui est né G5772 G1537 de G4561 la chair G2076 est G5748 G4561 chair G2532 , et G1080 ce qui est né G5772 G1537 de G4151 l’Esprit G2076 est G5748 G4151 esprit.

7 G2296 Ne t’étonne G5661 G3361 pas G3754 que G4671 je t G2036 ’aie dit G5627 G1163 : Il faut G5748 G5209 que vous G1080 naissiez G5683 G509 de nouveau.

8 G4151 Le vent G4154 souffle G5719 G3699 où G2309 il veut G5719 G2532 , et G846 tu en G191 entends G5719 G5456 le bruit G235 ; mais G3756 tu ne G1492 sais G5758 G4159 d’où G2064 il vient G5736 G2532 , ni G4226 où G5217 il va G5719 G2076 . Il en est G5748 G3779 ainsi G3956 de tout G1080 homme qui est né G5772 G1537 de G4151 l’Esprit.

9 G3530 Nicodème G846 lui G611 dit G5662 G2532 G2036 G5627 G4459 : Comment G5023 cela G1410 peut-il G5736 G1096 se faire G5635 ?

10 G2424 Jésus G846 lui G611 répondit G5662 G2532 G2036 G5627 G4771 : Tu G1488 es G5748 G1320 le docteur G2474 d’Israël G2532 , et G1097 tu ne sais G5719 G3756 pas G5023 ces choses !

11 G281 En vérité G281 , en vérité G4671 , je te G3004 le dis G5719 G2980 , nous disons G5719 G3754 ce G3739 que G1492 nous savons G5758 G2532 , et G3140 nous rendons témoignage G5719 G3739 de ce que G3708 nous avons vu G5758 G2532 ; et G2983 vous ne recevez G5719 G3756 pas G2257 notre G3141 témoignage.

12 G2532 G1487 Si G4100 vous ne croyez G5719 G3756 pas G5213 quand je vous G2036 ai parlé G5627 G1919 des choses terrestres G4459 , comment G4100 croirez G5692 G1437 -vous quand G5213 je vous G2036 parlerai G5632 G2032 des choses célestes ?

13 G2532 G3762 Personne G305 n’est monté G5758 G1519 au G3772 ciel G1508 , si ce n’est G2597 celui qui est descendu G5631 G1537 du G3772 ciel G5207 , le Fils G444 de l’homme G3588 qui G5607 est G5752 G1722 dans G3772 le ciel.

14 G2532 Et G2531 comme G3475 Moïse G5312 éleva G5656 G3789 le serpent G1722 dans G2048 le désert G1163 , il faut G5748 G3779 de même G5207 que le Fils G444 de l’homme G5312 soit élevé G5683 ,

15 G3363 afin que G3956 quiconque G4100 croit G5723 G1519 en G846 lui G2192 ait G5725 G2222 la vie G166 éternelle.

16 G1063 Car G2316 Dieu G3779 a tant G25 aimé G5656 G2889 le monde G5620 qu G1325 ’il a donné G5656 G846 son G5207 Fils G3439 unique G2443 , afin que G3956 quiconque G4100 croit G5723 G1519 en G846 lui G622 ne périsse G5643 G3361 point G235 , mais G2192 qu’il ait G5725 G2222 la vie G166 éternelle.

17 G2316 Dieu G1063 , en effet G3756 , n’a pas G649 envoyé G5656 G846 son G5207 Fils G1519 dans G2889 le monde G2443 pour G2919 qu’il juge G5725 G2889 le monde G235 , mais G2443 pour que G2889 le monde G4982 soit sauvé G5686 G1223 par G846 lui.

18 G4100 Celui qui croit G5723 G1519 en G846 lui G2919 n’est G0 G3756 point G2919 jugé G5743 G1161 ; mais G4100 celui qui ne croit G5723 G3361 pas G2235 est déjà G2919 jugé G5769 G3754 , parce qu G3361 ’il n’a pas G4100 cru G5758 G1519 au G3686 nom G5207 du Fils G3439 unique G2316 de Dieu.

19 G1161 Et G3778 ce G2920 jugement G2076 c’est G5748 G3754 que G5457 , la lumière G2064 étant venue G5754 G1519 dans G2889 le monde G2532 , G444 les hommes G25 ont préféré G5656 G4655 les ténèbres G3123 à G2228 G5457 la lumière G1063 , parce que G846 leurs G2041 œuvres G2258 étaient G5713 G4190 mauvaises.

20 G1063 Car G3956 quiconque G4238 fait G5723 G5337 le mal G3404 hait G5719 G5457 la lumière G2532 , et G2064 ne vient G5736 G3756 point G4314 à G5457 la lumière G3363 , de peur que G846 ses G2041 œuvres G1651 ne soient dévoilées G5686 ;

21 G1161 mais G4160 celui qui agit G5723 G225 selon la vérité G2064 vient G5736 G4314 à G5457 la lumière G2443 , afin que G846 ses G2041 œuvres G5319 soient manifestées G5686 G3754 , parce qu G2076 ’elles sont G5748 G2038 faites G5772 G1722 en G2316 Dieu.

22 G3326 ¶ Après G5023 cela G2424 , Jésus G2532 , accompagné G846 de ses G3101 disciples G2064 , se rendit G5627 G1519 dans G1093 la terre G2449 de Judée G2453 G2532 ; et G1563 là G1304 il demeurait G5707 G3326 avec G846 eux G2532 , et G907 il baptisait G5707 .

23 G1161 G2491 Jean G2532 aussi G2258 baptisait G5713 G907 G5723 G1722 à G137 Enon G1451 , près G4530 de Salim G3754 , parce qu G2258 ’il y avait G5713 G1563 là G4183 beaucoup G5204 d’eau G2532 ; et G3854 on y venait G5708 G2532 G907 pour être baptisé G5712 .

24 G1063 Car G2491 Jean G2258 n’avait G5713 G3768 pas encore G906 été mis G5772 G1519 en G5438 prison.

25 G3767 Or G1096 , il s’éleva G5633 G1537 de la part des G3101 disciples G2491 de Jean G2214 une dispute G3326 avec G2453 un Juif G4012 touchant G2512 la purification.

26 G2532 G2064 Ils vinrent G5627 G4314 trouver G2491 Jean G2532 , et G846 lui G2036 dirent G5627 G4461 : Rabbi G3739 , celui G2258 qui était G5713 G3326 avec G4675 toi G4008 au delà G2446 du Jourdain G3739 , et à qui G4771 tu G3140 as rendu témoignage G5758 G2396 , voici G3778 , il G907 baptise G5719 G2532 , et G3956 tous G2064 vont G5736 G4314 à G846 lui.

27 G2491 Jean G611 répondit G5662 G2532 G2036 G5627 G444 : Un homme G3762 ne G1410 peut G5736 G3756 G2983 recevoir G5721 G3362 que ce G846 qui lui G5600 a été G5753 G1325 donné G5772 G1537 du G3772 ciel.

28 G5210 Vous-mêmes G846 G3427 m G3140 ’êtes témoins G5719 G3754 que G2036 j’ai dit G5627 G1473 : Je G1510 ne suis G5748 G3756 pas G5547 le Christ G235 , mais G3754 G1510 j’ai G5748 G649 été envoyé G5772 G1715 devant G1565 lui.

29 G2192 Celui à qui appartient G5723 G3565 l’épouse G2076 , c’est G5748 G3566 l’époux G1161 ; mais G5384 l’ami G3566 de l’époux G3588 , qui G2476 se tient là G5761 G2532 et G846 qui l G191 ’entend G5723 G5463 , éprouve G0 G5479 une grande G5463 joie G5719 G1223 à cause G5456 de la voix G3566 de l’époux G3767 : aussi G3778 cette G5479 joie G1699 , qui est la mienne G4137 , est parfaite G5769 .

30 G1163 Il faut G5748 G1565 qu’il G837 croisse G5721 G1161 , et G1691 que je G1642 diminue G5745 .

31 G2064 Celui qui vient G5740 G509 d’en haut G2076 est G5748 G1883 au-dessus G3956 de tous G5607 ; celui qui est G5752 G1537 de G1093 la terre G2076 est G5748 G1537 de la G1093 terre G2532 , et G2980 il parle G5719 G1537 comme étant de G1093 la terre G2064 . Celui qui vient G5740 G1537 du G3772 ciel G2076 est G5748 G1883 au-dessus G3956 de tous,

32 G2532 G3140 il rend témoignage G5719 G3739 de ce G5124 G3708 qu’il a vu G5758 G2532 et G191 entendu G5656 G2532 , et G3762 personne G2983 ne reçoit G5719 G846 son G3141 témoignage.

33 G2983 Celui qui a reçu G5631 G846 son G3141 témoignage G4972 a certifié G5656 G3754 que G2316 Dieu G2076 est G5748 G227 vrai ;

34 G1063 car G3739 celui G2316 que Dieu G649 a envoyé G5656 G2980 dit G5719 G4487 les paroles G2316 de Dieu G1063 , parce que G2316 Dieu G1325 ne lui donne G5719 G3756 pas G4151 l’Esprit G1537 avec G3358 mesure.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y había un hombre de los fariseos que se llamaba Nicodemo, príncipe de los judíos. ² Este vino a Jesus de noche, y le dijo: Rabí, sabemos que has venido de Dios por maestro; porque nadie puede hacer estas señales que tú haces, si no estuviere Dios con él. ³ Respondió Jesus, y le dijo: De cierto, de cierto te digo, que el que no naciere otra vez, no puede ver el Reino de Dios. ⁴ Le dice Nicodemo: ¿Cómo puede el hombre nacer siendo viejo? ¿Puede entrar otra vez en el vientre de su madre, y nacer? ⁵ Respondió Jesus: De cierto, de cierto te digo, que el que no naciere de agua y de Espíritu, no puede entrar en el Reino de Dios. ⁶ Lo que es nacido de carne, carne es; y lo que es nacido de Espíritu, Espíritu es. ⁷ No te maravilles de que te dije: Os es necesario nacer otra vez. ⁸ El viento de donde quiere sopla, y oyes su sonido; mas ni sabes de dónde viene, ni a dónde vaya; así es todo aquel que es nacido del Espíritu. ⁹ Respondió Nicodemo, y le dijo: ¿Cómo puede esto hacerse? ¹⁰ Respondió Jesus, y le dijo: ¿Tú eres el maestro de Israel, y no sabes esto? ¹¹ De cierto, de cierto te digo, que lo que sabemos hablamos, y lo que hemos visto, testificamos; y no recibís nuestro testimonio. ¹² Si os he dicho cosas terrenas, y no creéis, ¿cómo creeréis si os dijere las celestiales? ¹³ Y nadie subió al cielo, sino el que descendió del cielo, el Hijo del hombre, que está en el cielo. ¹⁴ Y como Moisés levantó la serpiente en el desierto, así es necesario que el Hijo del hombre sea levantado; ¹⁵ para que todo aquel que en él creyere, no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna. ¹⁶ Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo Unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. ¹⁷ Porque no envió Dios a su Hijo al mundo, para que condene al mundo, sino para que el mundo sea salvo por él. ¹⁸ El que en él cree, no es condenado; pero el que no cree, ya es condenado, porque no creyó en el nombre del Unigénito Hijo de Dios. ¹⁹ Y esta es la condenación: porque la luz vino al mundo, y los hombres amaron más las tinieblas que la luz; porque sus obras eran malas. ²⁰ Porque todo aquel que hace lo malo, aborrece a la luz y no viene a la luz, para que sus obras no sean redargüidas. ²¹ Mas el que obra verdad, viene a la luz, para que sus obras sean manifestadas que son hechas en Dios. ²² Pasado esto, vino Jesus con sus discípulos a la tierra de Judea; y estaba allí con ellos, y bautizaba. ²³ Y bautizaba también Juan en Enón junto a Salim, porque había allí muchas aguas; y venían, y eran bautizados. ²⁴ Porque Juan, no había sido aún puesto en la cárcel. ²⁵ Y hubo cuestión entre los discípulos de Juan y los Judíos acerca de la purificación. ²⁶ Y vinieron a Juan, y le dijeron: Rabí, el que estaba contigo al otro lado del Jordán, del cual tú diste testimonio, he aquí bautiza, y todos vienen a él. ²⁷ Respondió Juan, y dijo: No puede el hombre recibir algo, si no le fuere dado del cielo. ²⁸ Vosotros mismos me sois testigos que dije: Yo no soy el Cristo, sino que soy enviado delante de él. ²⁹ El que tiene la esposa, es el esposo; mas el amigo del esposo, que está en pie y le oye, se goza grandemente de la voz del esposo; así pues, este mi gozo es cumplido. ³⁰ A él conviene crecer; a mí, ser disminuido. ³¹ El que de arriba viene, sobre todos es: el que es de la tierra, terreno es, y cosas terrenas habla; el que viene del cielo, sobre todos es. ³² Y lo que vio y oyó, esto testifica; y nadie recibe su testimonio. ³³ El que recibe su testimonio, éste testificó que Dios es Verdadero. ³⁴ Porque el que Dios envió, las palabras de Dios habla; porque no le da Dios el Espíritu por medida. ³⁵ El Padre ama al Hijo, y todas las cosas dio en su mano. ³⁶ El que cree en el Hijo, tiene vida eterna; mas el que al Hijo es incrédulo, no verá la vida, sino que la ira de Dios está sobre él.

ReinaValera⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y HABIA un hombre de los Fariseos que se llamaba Nicodemo, príncipe de los Judíos. ² Este vino á Jesús de noche, y díjole: Rabbí, sabemos que has venido de Dios por maestro; porque nadie puede hacer estas señales que tú haces, si no fuere Dios con él. ³ Respondió Jesús, y díjole: De cierto, de cierto te digo, que el que no naciere otra vez, no puede ver el reino de Dios. ⁴ Dícele Nicodemo: ¿Cómo puede el hombre nacer siendo viejo? ¿puede entrar otra vez en el vientre de su madre, y nacer? ⁵ Respondió Jesús: De cierto, de cierto te digo, que el que no naciere de agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar en el reino de Dios. ⁶ Lo que es nacido de la carne, carne es; y lo que es nacido del Espíritu, espíritu es. ⁷ No te maravilles de que te dije: Os es necesario nacer otra vez. ⁸ El viento de donde quiere sopla, y oyes su sonido; mas ni sabes de dónde viene, ni á dónde vaya: así es todo aquel que es nacido del Espíritu. ⁹ Respondió Nicodemo, y díjole: ¿Cómo puede esto hacerse? ¹⁰ Respondió Jesús, y díjole: ¿Tú eres el maestro de Israel, y no sabes esto? ¹¹ De cierto, de cierto te digo, que lo que sabemos hablamos, y lo que hemos visto, testificamos; y no recibís nuestro testimonio. ¹² Si os he dicho cosas terrenas, y no creéis, ¿cómo creeréis si os dijere las celestiales? ¹³ Y nadie subió al cielo, sino el que descendió del cielo, el Hijo del hombre, que está en el cielo. ¹⁴ Y como Moisés levantó la serpiente en el desierto, así es necesario que el Hijo del hombre sea levantado; ¹⁵ Para que todo aquel que en él creyere, no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna. ¹⁶ Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado á su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. ¹⁷ Porque no envió Dios á su Hijo al mundo, para que condene al mundo, mas para que el mundo sea salvo por él. ¹⁸ El que en él cree, no es condenado; mas el que no cree, ya es condenado, porque no creyó en el nombre del unigénito Hijo de Dios. ¹⁹ Y esta es la condenación: porque la luz vino al mundo, y los hombres amaron más las tinieblas que la luz; porque sus obras eran malas. ²⁰ Porque todo aquel que hace lo malo, aborrece la luz y no viene á la luz, porque sus obras no sean redargüidas. ²¹ Mas el que obra verdad, viene á la luz, para que sus obras sean manifestadas que son hechas en Dios. ²² Pasado esto, vino Jesús con sus discípulos á la tierra de Judea; y estaba allí con ellos, y bautizaba. ²³ Y bautizaba también Juan en Enón junto á Salim, porque había allí muchas aguas; y venían, y eran bautizados. ²⁴ Porque Juan, no había sido aún puesto en la carcel. ²⁵ Y hubo cuestión entre los discípulos de Juan y los Judíos acerca de la purificación. ²⁶ Y vinieron á Juan, y dijéronle: Rabbí, el que estaba contigo de la otra parte del Jordán, del cual tú diste testimonio, he aquí bautiza, y todos vienen á él. ²⁷ Respondió Juan, y dijo: No puede el hombre recibir algo, si no le fuere dado del cielo. ²⁸ Vosotros mismos me sois testigos que dije: Yo no soy el Cristo, sino que soy enviado delante de él. ²⁹ El que tiene la esposa, es el esposo; mas el amigo del esposo, que está en pie y le oye, se goza grandemente de la voz del esposo; así pues, este mi gozo es cumplido. ³⁰ A él conviene crecer, mas á mí menguar. ³¹ El que de arriba viene, sobre todos es: el que es de la tierra, terreno es, y cosas terrenas habla: el que viene del cielo, sobre todos es. ³² Y lo que vió y oyó, esto testifica: y nadie recibe su testimonio. ³³ El que recibe su testimonio, éste signó que Dios es verdadero. ³⁴ Porque el que Dios envió, las palabras de Dios habla: porque no da Dios el Espíritu por medida. ³⁵ El Padre ama al Hijo, y todas las cosas dió en su mano. ³⁶ El que cree en el Hijo, tiene vida eterna; mas el que es incrédulo al Hijo, no verá la vida, sino que la ira de Dios está sobre él.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Midis farisenjve ishte një njeri me emrin Nikodem, një krer i Judenjve. ² Ky erdhi natën te Jezusi dhe i tha: ''Mësues, ne e dimë se ti je një mësues i ardhur nga Perëndia, sepse askush nuk mund të bëjë shenjat që bën ti, në qoftë se Perëndia nuk është me të''. ³ Jezusi iu përgjigj dhe tha: ''Në të vërtetë, në të vërtete po të them që nëse një nuk ka rilindur, nuk mund ta shohë mbretërinë e Perëndisë''. ⁴ Nikodemi i tha: ''Po si mund të lindë njeriu kur është plak? A mund të hyjë ai për së dyti në barkun e nënës së vet dhe të lindë?''. ⁵ Jezusi u përgjigj: ''Në të vërtetë, në të vërtetë po të them se kush nuk ka lindur nga uji dhe nga Fryma, nuk mund të hyjë në mbretërinë e Perëndisë. ⁶ Ç'ka lindur nga mishi është mish; por ç'ka lindur nga Fryma është frymë. ⁷ Mos u mrrekullo që të thashë: "Duhet të lindni përsëri". ⁸ Era fryn ku të dojë dhe ti ia dëgjon zërin, por ti nuk e di nga vjen as ku po shkon; kështu është edhe çdo njëri që ka lindur nga Fryma''. ⁹ Nikodemi, duke u përgjigjur, i tha: ''Si mund të ndodhin këto gjëra?''. ¹⁰ Jezusi u përgjigj dhe i tha: ''Ti je mësuesi i Izraelit dhe nuk i ditke këto gjëra? ¹¹ Në të vërtetë, në të vërtetë po të them se ne flasim atë që dimë dhe dëshmojmë atë që pamë, por ju nuk e pranoni dëshminë tonë. ¹² Në qoftë se ju fola për gjërat tokësore dhe ju nuk besoni, si do të më besoni nëse ju flas për gjërat qiellore? ¹³ Askush nuk u ngjit në qiell, përveç atij që zbriti nga qielli, pra, Birit të njeriut që është në qiell. ¹⁴ Dhe ashtu si Moisiu e ngriti lart gjarprin në shkretëtirë, kështu duhet të ngrihet lart Biri i njeriut, ¹⁵ që kushdo që beson në të të mos humbasë, por të ketë jetë të përjetshme. ¹⁶ Sepse Perëndia e deshi aq botën, sa dha Birin e tij të vetëmlindurin, që, kushdo që beson në të, të mos humbasë, por të ketë jetë të përjetshme. ¹⁷ Sepse Perëndia nuk e dërgoi Birin e vet në botë që ta dënojë botën, por që bota të shpëtohet prej tij. ¹⁸ Ai që beson në të nuk dënohet, por ai që nuk beson tashmë është dënuar, sepse nuk ka besuar në emrin e Birit të vetëmlindur të Perëndisë. ¹⁹ Tani gjykimi është ky: Drita erdhi në botë dhe njerëzit deshën errësirën më tepër se dritën, sepse veprat e tyre ishin të mbrapshta. ²⁰ Sepse kushdo që bën gjëra të mbrapshta e urren dritën dhe nuk vjen te drita, që të mos zbulohen veprat e tij; ²¹ por kush bën të vërtetën vjen te drita, që veprat e tij të zbulohen, sepse u bënë në Perëndinë''. ²² Pas këtyre gjërave, Jezusi erdhi me dishepujt e vet në tokën e Judesë dhe qëndroi aty bashkë me ta dhe pagëzonte. ²³ Por edhe Gjoni pagëzonte në Enon, afër Salimit, sepse aty kishte shumë ujë; dhe njerëzit vinin dhe pagëzoheshin, ²⁴ sepse Gjoni s'ishte hedhur akoma në burg. ²⁵ Atëherë lindi një diskutim ndërmjet dishepujve të Gjonit me Judenjtë rreth pastrimit. ²⁶ Kështu erdhën te Gjoni dhe i thanë: ''Mësues, ai që ishte me ty përtej Jordanit, për të cilin ti bëre dëshmi, ja, ai pagëzon dhe të gjithë shkojnë tek ai''. ²⁷ Gjoni u përgjigj dhe tha: ''Njeriu nuk mund të marrë asgjë, nëse nuk i është dhënë nga qielli. ²⁸ Ju vetë më jeni dëshmitarë se thashë: "Unë nuk jam Krishti, por jam dërguar përpara tij". ²⁹ Ai që e ka nusen është dhëndri, por miku i dhëndrit, që është i pranishëm dhe e dëgjon, gëzohet shumë për zërin e dhëndrit; prandaj ky gëzimi im është i plotësuar! ³⁰ Ai duhet të rritet dhe unë të zvogëlohem. ³¹ Ai që vjen nga lart është përmbi të gjithë; ai që vjen nga dheu është nga dheu dhe flet për dheun; ai që vjen nga qielli është përmbi të gjithë. ³² Dhe ai dëshmon çfarë ka parë dhe dëgjuar, por askush nuk e pranon dëshminë e tij. ³³ Ai që e pranoi dëshminë e tij e vulosi se Perëndia është i vërtetë. ³⁴ Sepse ai që Perëndia ka dërguar flet fjalët e Perëndisë, sepse Perëndia nuk e jep Frymën e tij me masë. ³⁵ Ati e do Birin dhe i ka dhënë në dorë çdo gjë. ³⁶ Kush beson në Birin ka jetë të përjetshme, kurse kush nuk i bindet Birit nuk do të shohë jetë, por zemërimi i Perëndisë qëndron mbi të''.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Между фарисеями был некто, именем Никодим, один из начальниковИудейских. ² Он пришел к Иисусу ночью и сказал Ему: Равви! мы знаем, что Ты учитель, пришедший от Бога; иботаких чудес, какие Ты творишь, никто не может творить, если не будет с ним Бог. ³ Иисус сказал ему в ответ: истинно, истинно говорю тебе, если кто не родится свыше, не может увидеть Царствия Божия. ⁴ Никодим говорит Ему: как может человек родиться, будучи стар? неужели может он в другой раз войти в утробу матери своей и родиться? ⁵ Иисус отвечал: истинно, истинно говорю тебе, если кто не родится от воды и Духа, не можетвойти в Царствие Божие. ⁶ Рожденное от плоти есть плоть, а рожденное от Духа есть дух. ⁷ Не удивляйся тому, что Я сказал тебе: должно вам родиться свыше. ⁸ Дух дышит, где хочет, и голос его слышишь, а не знаешь, откуда приходит и куда уходит: так бывает со всяким, рожденным от Духа. ⁹ Никодим сказал Ему в ответ: как это может быть? ¹⁰ Иисус отвечал и сказал ему: ты - учитель Израилев, и этого ли не знаешь? ¹¹ Истинно, истинно говорю тебе: мы говорим о том, чтознаем, и свидетельствуем о том, что видели, а вы свидетельства Нашего не принимаете. ¹² Если Я сказал вам о земном, и вы не верите, – как поверите, если буду говорить вам о небесном? ¹³ Никто не восходил на небо, как только сшедший с небес Сын Человеческий, сущий на небесах. ¹⁴ И как Моисей вознес змию в пустыне, так должно вознесену быть Сыну Человеческому, ¹⁵ дабы всякий, верующий в Него, не погиб, но имел жизнь вечную. ¹⁶ Ибо так возлюбил Бог мир, что отдал Сына Своего Единородного, дабы всякий верующий в Него, не погиб, но имел жизнь вечную. ¹⁷ Ибо не послал Бог Сына Своего в мир, чтобы судить мир, но чтобы мир спасен был чрез Него. ¹⁸ Верующий в Него не судится, а неверующий уже осужден, потому что не уверовал во имяЕдинородного Сына Божия. ¹⁹ Суд же состоит в том, что свет пришел в мир; но люди более возлюбили тьму, нежели свет, потому что дела их были злы; ²⁰ ибо всякий, делающий злое, ненавидит свет и не идет к свету, чтобы не обличились дела его,потому что они злы, ²¹ а поступающий по правде идет к свету, дабы явны были дела его, потому что они вБоге соделаны. ²² После сего пришел Иисус с учениками Своими в землю Иудейскую и там жил с ними и крестил. ²³ А Иоанн также крестил в Еноне, близ Салима, потому что там было много воды; и приходили туда и крестились, ²⁴ ибо Иоанн еще не был заключен в темницу. ²⁵ Тогда у Иоанновых учеников произошел спор с Иудеямиоб очищении. ²⁶ И пришли к Иоанну и сказали ему: равви! Тот, Который был с тобою при Иордане и о Котором ты свидетельствовал, вот Он крестит, и все идут к Нему. ²⁷ Иоанн сказал в ответ: не может человек ничего принимать на себя , если не будет дано ему с неба. ²⁸ Вы сами мне свидетели в том, что я сказал: не я Христос, но я послан пред Ним. ²⁹ Имеющий невесту есть жених, а друг жениха, стоящий и внимающий ему, радостью радуется, слыша голос жениха. Сия-то радость моя исполнилась. ³⁰ Ему должно расти, а мне умаляться. ³¹ Приходящий свыше и есть выше всех; а сущий от земли земной и есть и говорит, как сущий от земли; Приходящий с небес есть выше всех, ³² и что Он видел и слышал, о том и свидетельствует; и никто не принимает свидетельства Его. ³³ Принявший Его свидетельство сим запечатлел, что Бог истинен, ³⁴ ибо Тот, Которого послал Бог, говорит слова Божии;ибо не мерою дает Бог Духа. ³⁵ Отец любит Сына и все дал в рукуЕго. ³⁶ Верующий в Сына имеет жизнь вечную, а не верующий в Сына не увидит жизни, но гнев Божий пребывает на нем.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ كان انسان من الفريسيين اسمه نيقوديموس رئيس لليهود. ² هذا جاء الى يسوع ليلا وقال له يا معلّم نعلم انك قد أتيت من الله معلّما لان ليس احد يقدر ان يعمل هذه الآيات التي انت تعمل ان لم يكن الله معه. ³ اجاب يسوع وقال له الحق الحق اقول لك ان كان احد لا يولد من فوق لا يقدر ان يرى ملكوت الله. ⁴ قال له نيقوديموس كيف يمكن الانسان ان يولد وهو شيخ. ألعله يقدر ان يدخل بطن امه ثانية ويولد. ⁵ اجاب يسوع الحق الحق اقول لك ان كان احد لا يولد من الماء والروح لا يقدر ان يدخل ملكوت الله. ⁶ المولود من الجسد جسد هو والمولود من الروح هو روح. ⁷ لا تتعجب اني قلت لك ينبغي ان تولدوا من فوق. ⁸ الريح تهب حيث تشاء وتسمع صوتها لكنك لا تعلم من اين تأتي ولا الى اين تذهب. هكذا كل من ولد من الروح ⁹ اجاب نيقوديموس وقال له كيف يمكن ان يكون هذا. ¹⁰ اجاب يسوع وقال له انت معلّم اسرائيل ولست تعلم هذا. ¹¹ الحق الحق اقول لك اننا انما نتكلم بما نعلم ونشهد بما رأينا ولستم تقبلون شهادتنا. ¹² ان كنت قلت لكم الارضيات ولستم تؤمنون فكيف تؤمنون ان قلت لكم السماويات. ¹³ وليس احد صعد الى السماء الا الذي نزل من السماء ابن الانسان الذي هو في السماء ¹⁴ وكما رفع موسى الحية في البرية هكذا ينبغي ان يرفع ابن الانسان ¹⁵ لكي لا يهلك كل من يؤمن به بل تكون له الحياة الابدية. ¹⁶ لانه هكذا احب الله العالم حتى بذل ابنه الوحيد لكي لا يهلك كل من يؤمن به بل تكون له الحياة الابدية. ¹⁷ لانه لم يرسل الله ابنه الى العالم ليدين العالم بل ليخلّص به العالم. ¹⁸ الذي يؤمن به لا يدان والذي لا يؤمن قد دين لانه لم يؤمن باسم ابن الله الوحيد. ¹⁹ وهذه هي الدينونة ان النور قد جاء الى العالم واحب الناس الظلمة اكثر من النور لان اعمالهم كانت شريرة. ²⁰ لان كل من يعمل السيّآت يبغض النور ولا يأتي الى النور لئلا توبخ اعماله. ²¹ واما من يفعل الحق فيقبل الى النور لكي تظهر اعماله انها بالله معمولة ²² وبعد هذا جاء يسوع وتلاميذه الى ارض اليهودية ومكث معهم هناك وكان يعمد. ²³ وكان يوحنا ايضا يعمد في عين نون بقرب ساليم لانه كان هناك مياه كثيرة وكانوا يأتون ويعتمدون. ²⁴ لانه لم يكن يوحنا قد ألقي بعد في السجن ²⁵ وحدثت مباحثة من تلاميذ يوحنا مع يهود من جهة التطهير. ²⁶ فجاءوا الى يوحنا وقالوا له يا معلّم هوذا الذي كان معك في عبر الاردن الذي انت قد شهدت له هو يعمد والجميع يأتون اليه. ²⁷ اجاب يوحنا وقال لا يقدر انسان ان يأخذ شيئا ان لم يكن قد أعطي من السماء. ²⁸ انتم انفسكم تشهدون لي اني قلت لست انا المسيح بل اني مرسل امامه. ²⁹ من له العروس فهو العريس. واما صديق العريس الذي يقف ويسمعه فيفرح فرحا من اجل صوت العريس. اذا فرحي هذا قد كمل. ³⁰ ينبغي ان ذلك يزيد واني انا انقص. ³¹ الذي يأتي من فوق هو فوق الجميع. والذي من الارض هو ارضي ومن الارض يتكلم. الذي يأتي من السماء هو فوق الجميع. ³² وما رآه وسمعه به يشهد وشهادته ليس احد يقبلها. ³³ ومن قبل شهادته فقد ختم ان الله صادق. ³⁴ لان الذي ارسله الله يتكلم بكلام الله. لانه ليس بكيل يعطي الله الروح. ³⁵ الآب يحب الابن وقد دفع كل شيء في يده. ³⁶ الذي يؤمن بالابن له حياة ابدية. والذي لا يؤمن بالابن لن يرى حياة بل يمكث عليه غضب الله

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Между фарисеите имаше един човек на име Никодим, юдейски началник. ² Той дойде при Него през нощта и Му каза: Равви, знаем, че си учител, дошъл от Бога; защото никой не може да върши тези знамения, които Ти вършиш, ако Бог не е с него. ³ Иисус в отговор му каза: Истина, истина ти казвам: ако не се роди някой отново, не може да види Божието царство. ⁴ Никодим Му каза: Как може стар човек да се роди? Може ли втори път да влезе в утробата на майка си и да се роди? ⁵ Иисус отговори: Истина, истина ти казвам: ако не се роди някой от вода и Дух, не може да влезе в Божието царство. ⁶ Роденото от плътта е плът, а роденото от Духа е дух. ⁷ Не се чуди, че ти казах: Трябва да се родите отново. ⁸ Вятърът духа, където си иска, и чуваш шума му, но не знаеш откъде идва и накъде отива; така е всеки, който се е родил от Духа. ⁹ Никодим в отговор Му каза: Как може да бъде това? ¹⁰ Иисус му отговори и каза: Ти си израилев учител и не знаеш ли това? ¹¹ Истина, истина ти казвам: ние говорим това, което знаем, и свидетелстваме за това, което сме видели, но вие не приемате Нашето свидетелство. ¹² Ако ви казах земните работи и не вярвате, как ще повярвате, ако ви кажа небесните? ¹³ И никой не е възлязъл на небето, освен Този, който е слязъл от небето, Човешкият Син, (който е на небето). ¹⁴ И както Мойсей издигна змията в пустинята, така трябва да бъде издигнат Човешкият Син, ¹⁵ че всеки, който вярва в Него (да не погине, а) да има вечен живот. ¹⁶ Защото Бог толкова възлюби света, че даде Своя Единороден Син, за да не погине нито един, който вярва в Него, а да има вечен живот. ¹⁷ Понеже Бог не изпрати Сина Си на света, за да съди света, а за да бъде светът спасен чрез Него. ¹⁸ Който вярва в Него, не е осъден; който не вярва, е вече осъден, защото не е повярвал в Името на Единородния Божи Син. ¹⁹ Но това е осъждането, че светлината дойде на света, но хората обикнаха тъмнината повече от светлината, понеже делата им бяха зли. ²⁰ Понеже всеки, който върши зло, мрази светлината и не отива към светлината, за да не би да се открият делата му; ²¹ а който постъпва според истината, отива към светлината, за да се явят делата му, понеже са извършени в Бога. ²² След това Иисус дойде с учениците Си в юдейската земя; и там остана с тях и кръщаваше. ²³ А Йоан също кръщаваше в Енон, близо до Салим, защото там имаше много вода; и отиваха и се кръщаваха. ²⁴ Понеже Йоан още не беше хвърлен в тъмница. ²⁵ Тогава възникна спор от страна на учениците на Йоан с един юдеин относно очистването. ²⁶ И дойдоха при Йоан и му казаха: Равви, Онзи, който беше с теб отвъд Йордан, за когото ти свидетелства, ето, Той кръщава и всички отиват при Него. ²⁷ Йоан в отговор каза: Човек не може да приеме нищо, ако не му е дадено от небето. ²⁸ Вие сами сте ми свидетели, че казах: Не аз съм Христос, но съм изпратен пред Него. ²⁹ Младоженецът е, който има невястата, а приятелят на младоженеца, който стои и го слуша, се радва твърде много поради гласа на младоженеца. И така, тази моя радост се изпълни. ³⁰ Той трябва да расте, а пък аз – да се смалявам. ³¹ Онзи, който идва от горе, е над всички; а който е от земята, е земен и земно говори. Онзи, който идва от небето, е над всички. ³² Каквото е видял и чул, за него свидетелства; но никой не приема свидетелството Му. ³³ Който е приел Неговото свидетелство, е потвърдил с печата си, че Бог е истинен. ³⁴ Защото Този, когото Бог е пратил, говори Божиите думи; защото Бог не дава Духа с мярка. ³⁵ Отец люби Сина и е предал всичко в Неговата ръка. ³⁶ Който вярва в Сина, има вечен живот; но който не се покорява на Сина, няма да види живот, а Божият гняв остава върху него.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Bijaše među farizejima čovjek imenom Nikodem, ugledan Židov. ² On dođe Isusu obnoć i reče mu: "Rabbi, znamo da si od Boga došao kao učitelj jer nitko ne može činiti znamenja kakva ti činiš ako Bog nije s njime." ³ Odgovori mu Isus: "Zaista, zaista, kažem ti: tko se ne rodi nanovo, odozgor, ne može vidjeti kraljevstva Božjega!" ⁴ Kaže mu Nikodem: "Kako se čovjek može roditi kad je star? Zar može po drugi put ući u utrobu majke svoje i roditi se?" ⁵ Odgovori Isus: "Zaista, zaista, kažem ti: ako se tko ne rodi iz vode i Duha, ne može ući u kraljevstvo Božje. ⁶ Što je od tijela rođeno, tijelo je; i što je od Duha rođeno, duh je. ⁷ Ne čudi se što ti rekoh: 'Treba da se rodite nanovo, odozgor.' ⁸ Vjetar puše gdje hoće; čuješ mu šum, a ne znaš odakle dolazi i kamo ide. Tako je sa svakim koji je rođen od Duha." ⁹ Upita ga Nikodem: "Kako se to može zbiti?" ¹⁰ Odgovori mu Isus: "Ti si učitelj u Izraelu pa to da ne razumiješ? ¹¹ Zaista, zaista, kažem ti: govorimo što znamo, svjedočimo za ono što vidjesmo, ali svjedočanstva našega ne primate. ¹² Ako vam rekoh zemaljsko pa ne vjerujete, kako ćete vjerovati kad vam budem govorio nebesko? ¹³ Nitko nije uzašao na nebo doli onaj koji siđe s neba, Sin Čovječji. ¹⁴ I kao što je Mojsije podigao zmiju u pustinji tako ima biti podignut Sin Čovječji ¹⁵ da svaki koji vjeruje u njemu ima život vječni. ¹⁶ Uistinu, Bog je tako ljubio svijet te je dao svoga Sina Jedinorođenca da nijedan koji u njega vjeruje ne propadne, nego da ima život vječni. ¹⁷ Ta Bog nije poslao Sina na svijet da sudi svijetu, nego da se svijet spasi po njemu. ¹⁸ Tko vjeruje u njega, ne osuđuje se; a tko ne vjeruje, već je osuđen što nije vjerovao u ime jedinorođenoga Sina Božjega. ¹⁹ A ovo je taj sud: Svjetlost je došla na svijet, ali ljudi su više ljubili tamu nego svjetlost jer djela im bijahu zla. ²⁰ Uistinu, tko god čini zlo, mrzi svjetlost i ne dolazi k svjetlosti da se ne razotkriju djela njegova; ²¹ a tko čini istinu, dolazi k svjetlosti nek bude bjelodano da su djela njegova u Bogu učinjena." ²² Poslije toga ode Isus sa svojim učenicima u Judejsku zemlju. Tu je boravio s njima i krstio. ²³ A krstio je i Ivan, u Enonu blizu Salima, jer ondje bijaše mnogo vode. Ljudi su dolazili i krstili se. ²⁴ Jer Ivan još nije bio bačen u tamnicu. ²⁵ Između Ivanovih učenika i nekog Židova nastade tako prepirka o čišćenju. ²⁶ Dođoše Ivanu i rekoše mu: "Učitelju, onaj koji s tobom bijaše s onu stranu Jordana i za kojega si ti svjedočio - on eno krsti i svi hrle k njemu." ²⁷ Ivan odgovori: "Nitko ne može sebi uzeti ništa ako mu nije dano s neba. ²⁸ Vi ste mi sami svjedoci da sam rekao: 'Nisam ja Krist, nego poslan sam pred njim.' ²⁹ Tko ima zaručnicu, zaručnik je. A prijatelj zaručnikov, koji stoji uza nj i sluša ga, klikće od radosti na glas zaručnikov. Ta se moja radost upravo ispunila. ³⁰ On treba da raste, a ja da se umanjujem. ³¹ Tko odozgor dolazi, on je iznad sviju; tko je sa zemlje, zemaljski je i zemaljski govori. Tko dolazi s neba, on je iznad sviju: ³² što je vidio i čuo - za to svjedoči, a svjedočanstva njegova nitko ne prima. ³³ Tko primi njegovo svjedočanstvo, potvrđuje da je Bog istinit. ³⁴ Uistinu, onaj koga Bog posla Božje riječi govori jer Bog Duha ne daje na mjeru. ³⁵ Otac ljubi Sina i sve je predao u ruku njegovu. ³⁶ Tko vjeruje u Sina, ima vječni život; a tko neće da vjeruje u Sina, neće vidjeti života; gnjev Božji ostaje na njemu."

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Byl pak člověk z farizeů, jménem Nikodém, kníže Židovské. ² Ten přišel k Ježíšovi v noci, a řekl jemu: Mistře, víme, že jsi od Boha přišel Mistr; nebo žádný nemůže těch divů činiti, kteréž ty činíš, leč by Bůh byl s ním. ³ Odpověděl Ježíš a řekl jemu: Amen, amen pravím tobě: Nenarodí-li se kdo znovu, nemůž viděti království Božího. ⁴ Řekl jemu Nikodém: Kterak můž člověk naroditi se, starý jsa? Zdali může opět v život matky své vjíti a naroditi se? ⁵ Odpověděl Ježíš: Amen, amen pravím tobě: Nenarodí-li se kdo z vody a z Ducha svatého, nemůž vjíti do království Božího. ⁶ Což se narodilo z těla, tělo jest, a což se narodilo z Ducha, duch jest. ⁷ Nediviž se, že jsem řekl tobě: Musíte se znovu zroditi. ⁸ Vítr kde chce věje, a hlas jeho slyšíš, ale nevíš, odkud přichází, a kam jde. Takť jest každý, kdož se z Ducha narodil. ⁹ Odpověděl Nikodém a řekl jemu: Kterak mohou tyto věci býti? ¹⁰ Odpověděl Ježíš a řekl jemu: Ty jsi mistr v Izraeli, a toho neznáš? ¹¹ Amen, amen pravím tobě: Že což víme, mluvíme, a což jsme viděli, svědčíme, ale svědectví našeho nepřijímáte. ¹² Poněvadž zemské věci mluvil jsem vám, a nevěříte, kterak, budu-li vám praviti nebeské, uvěříte? ¹³ Nebo žádný nevstoupil v nebe, než ten, jenž sstoupil s nebe, Syn člověka, kterýž jest v nebi. ¹⁴ A jakož jest Mojžíš povýšil hada na poušti, takť musí povýšen býti Syn člověka, ¹⁵ Aby každý, kdož věří v něho, nezahynul, ale měl život věčný. ¹⁶ Nebo tak Bůh miloval svět, že Syna svého jednorozeného dal, aby každý, kdož věří v něho, nezahynul, ale měl život věčný. ¹⁷ Neboť jest neposlal Bůh Syna svého na svět, aby odsoudil svět, ale aby spasen byl svět skrze něho. ¹⁸ Kdož věří v něho, nebude odsouzen, ale kdož nevěří, jižť jest odsouzen; nebo neuvěřil ve jméno jednorozeného Syna Božího. ¹⁹ Toto pak jest ten soud, že Světlo přišlo na svět, ale milovali lidé více tmu nežli Světlo; nebo skutkové jejich byli zlí. ²⁰ Každý zajisté, kdož zle činí, nenávidí světla, a nejde k světlu, aby nebyli trestáni skutkové jeho. ²¹ Ale kdož činí pravdu, jde k světlu, aby zjeveni byli skutkové jeho, že v Bohu učiněni jsou. ²² Potom přišel Ježíš i učedlníci jeho do země Judské, a tu přebýval s nimi, a křtil. ²³ A Jan také křtil v Enon, blízko Sálim, nebo byly tam vody mnohé. I přicházeli mnozí, a křtili se. ²⁴ Nebo ještě Jan nebyl vsazen do žaláře. ²⁵ Tedy vznikla otázka mezi Židy a některými z učedlníků Janových o očišťování. ²⁶ I přišli k Janovi a řekli jemu: Mistře, ten, kterýž byl s tebou za Jordánem, jemužs ty svědectví vydal, aj, on křtí, a všickni jdou k němu. ²⁷ Odpověděl Jan a řekl: Nemůžť člověk vzíti ničehož, leč by jemu dáno bylo s nebe. ²⁸ Vy sami svědkové jste mi, že jsem pověděl: Nejsem já Kristus, ale že jsem poslán před ním. ²⁹ Kdož má nevěstu, ženichť jest, přítel pak ženicha, jenž stojí a slyší ho, radostí raduje se pro hlas ženicha. Protož ta radost má naplněna jest. ³⁰ Onť musí růsti, já pak menšiti se. ³¹ Kdož jest shůry přišel, nade všeckyť jest; kdožť jest z země, zemskýť jest, a zemské věci mluví. Ale ten, jenž s nebe přišel, nade všecky jest. ³² A což viděl a slyšel, toť svědčí, ale svědectví jeho žádný nepřijímá. ³³ Kdož pak přijímá svědectví jeho, zpečetil jest to, že Bůh pravdomluvný jest. ³⁴ Nebo ten, kteréhož Bůh poslal, slovo Boží mluví; nebo jemu ne v míru dává Bůh ducha. ³⁵ Otec miluje Syna a všecko dal v ruku jeho. ³⁶ Kdož věří v Syna, má život věčný; ale kdožť jest nevěřící Synu, neuzříť života, ale hněv Boží zůstává na něm.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men der var en Mand af Pharisæerne, han hedte Nicodemus, en Øverste iblandt Jøderne. ² Han kom til Jesus om Natten og sagde til ham: Mester! vi vide, at du er en Lærer, kommen fra Gud; thi Ingen kan gjøre de Tegn, som du gjør, uden Gud er med ham. ³ Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: sandelig, sandelig siger jeg dig: uden Nogen bliver født paa ny, kan han ikke see Guds Rige. ⁴ Nicodemus siger til ham: hvorledes kan et Menneske fødes, naar han er gammel? Mon han kan anden gang komme ind i sin Moders Liv og fødes? ⁵ Jesus svarede: sandelig, sandelig siger jeg dig: uden nogen bliver født af Vand og Aand, kan han ikke indkomme i Guds Rige. ⁶ Hvad som født er af Kjødet, er Kjød; og hvad som er født af Aanden, er Aand. ⁷ Forundre dig ikke, at jeg sagde til dig: det bør Eder at fødes paa ny. ⁸ Veiret blæser, hvorhen det vil, og du hører dets Susen, men du veed ikke hvorfra detkommer, og hvor det farer hen; saaledes er det med hver, som er født af Aanden. ⁹ Nicodemus svarede og sagde til ham: hvorledes kan dette skee? ¹⁰ Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: er du en Israels Lærer og veed ikke dette? ¹¹ Sandelig, sandelig siger jeg dig: vi tale det, vi vide, og vidne det, vi have seet; og I annamme ikke vort Vidnesbyrd. ¹² Dersom jeg siger Eder de jordiske Ting, og I ikke troe, hvorledes skulde I troe, om jeg sagde Eder de himmelske? ¹³ Og Ingen farer op til Himmelen, uden den, som foer ned af Himmelen, Menneskens Søn, som er i Himmelen. ¹⁴ Og ligesom Moses ophøiede Slangen i Ørken, saa bør det Menneskens Søn at ophøies, ¹⁵ paa det at hver den, som troer paa ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have et evigt liv. ¹⁶ Thi saa har Gud elsket Verden, at han har givet sin Søn den eenbaarne, at hver den, som troer paa ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have et evigt Liv. ¹⁷ Thi Gud har ikke sendt sin Søn til Verden, at han skal dømme Verden, men at Verden skal blive salig ved ham. ¹⁸ Hvo som troer paa ham, dømmes ikke; men hvo som ikke troer, er allerede dømt, fordi han ikke troet paa Guds eenbaarne Søns Navn. ¹⁹ Men denne er Dommen, at Lyset er kommet til Verden, og Menneskene elskede mere Mørket end Lyset; thi deres Gjerninger vare onde. ²⁰ Thi hver, som gjør Ondt, hader Lyset og kommer ikke til Lyset, at hans Gjerninger ikke skulle overbevises ham. ²¹ Men hvo som øver Sandhed, kommer til Lyset, at hans Gjerninger maae blive aabenbarede; thi de ere gjorte i Gud. ²² Derefter kom Jesus og hans Disciple til Judæas Land, og han opholdt sig der med dem og døbte. ²³ Men ogsaa Johannes døbte i Ænon, nær ved Salem, fordi der var meget Vand; og de kom derhen og bleve døbte. ²⁴ Thi Johannes var ikke endnu kastet i Fængsel. ²⁵ Da opkom der en Tvist imellem Johannes' Disciple og Jøderne om Renselsen. ²⁶ Og de kom til Johannes og sagde til ham: Mester! den, som var hos dig paa hiin Side Jorden, hvilken du gav Vidnesbyrd, see, han døber, og alle komme til ham. ²⁷ Johannes svarede og sagde: et Menneske kan slet intet tage, uden det bliver givet ham af Himmelen. ²⁸ I ere selv mine Vidner, at jeg sagde: jeg er ikke den Christus, men at jeg er udsendt for ham. ²⁹ Den, som har Bruden, er Brudgommen; men Brudgommens Ven, som staaer og hører ham, glæder sig meget over Brudgommens Røst. Denne min Glæde er fuldkommen. ³⁰ Ham bør at voxe, men mig at forringes. ³¹ Den, som kommer ovenfra, er over Alle; den, som er af Jorden, er af Jorden og taler af Jorden; den, som kommer af Himmelen, er over Alle. ³² Og det, som han har seet og hørt, vidner han; og Ingen annammer hans Vidnesbyrd. ³³ Den, som annammer hans Vidnesbyrd, besegler, at Gud er sanddru. ³⁴ Thi den, som Gud udsendte, taler Guds Ord; thi Gud giver ham Aanden over al Maade. ³⁵ Faderen elsker Sønnen og har givet alle Ting i hans Haand. ³⁶ Hvo som troer paa Sønnen, har et evigt Liv; men hvo som ikke troer Sønnen, skal ikke see Livet, men Guds Vrede bliver over ham.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 有一個法利賽人，名叫尼哥底母，是猶太人的官。 ² 這人夜裡來見耶穌，說「拉比，我們知道你是由神那裡來作師傅的；因為你所行的神蹟，若沒有神同在，無人能行。」 ³ 耶穌回答說：「我實實在在地告訴你，人若不重生，就不能見神的國。」 ⁴ 尼哥底母說：「人已經老了，如何能重生呢？豈能再進母腹生出來嗎？」 ⁵ 耶穌說：「我實實在在的告訴你，人若不是從水和聖靈生的，就不能進神的國。 ⁶ 從肉身生的就是肉身；從靈生的就是靈。 ⁷ 我說：『你們必須重生』，你不要以為希奇。 ⁸ 風隨著意思吹，你聽見風的響聲，卻不曉得從那裡來，往那裡去；凡從聖靈生的，也是如此。」 ⁹ 尼哥底母問他說：「怎能有這事呢？」 ¹⁰ 耶穌回答說：「你是以色列人的先生，還不明白這事嗎？ ¹¹ 我實實在在的告訴你，我們所說的是我們知道的；我們所見證的是我們見過的；你們卻不領受我們的見證。 ¹² 我對你們說地上的事，你們尚且不信，若說天上的事，如何能信呢？ ¹³ 除了從天降下、仍舊在天的人子，沒有人升過天。 ¹⁴ 摩西在曠野怎樣舉蛇，人子也必照樣被舉起來， ¹⁵ 叫一切信他的都得永生（或作：叫一切信的人在他裡面得永生）。 ¹⁶ 「神愛世人，甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的，不至滅亡，反得永生。 ¹⁷ 因為神差他的兒子降世，不是要定世人的罪（或作：審判世人；下同），乃是要叫世人因他得救。 ¹⁸ 信他的人，不被定罪；不信的人，罪已經定了，因為他不信神獨生子的名。 ¹⁹ 光來到世間，世人因自己的行為是惡的，不愛光，倒愛黑暗，定他們的罪就是在此。 ²⁰ 凡作惡的便恨光，並不來就光，恐怕他的行為受責備。 ²¹ 但行真理的必來就光，要顯明他所行的是靠神而行。」 ²² 這事以後，耶穌和門徒到了猶太地，在那裡居住，施洗。 ²³ 約翰在靠近撒冷的哀嫩也施洗；因為那裡水多，眾人都去受洗。 ²⁴ （那時約翰還沒有下在監計。） ²⁵ 約翰的門徒和一個猶太人辯論潔淨的禮， ²⁶ 就來見約翰，說：「拉比，從前同你在約但河外、你所見證的那位，現在施洗，眾人都往他那裡去了。」 ²⁷ 約翰說：「若不是從天上賜的，人就不能得甚麼。 ²⁸ 我曾說：『我不是基督，是奉差遣在他前面的』，你們自己可以給我作見證。 ²⁹ 娶新婦的就是新郎；新郎的朋友站著，聽見新郎的聲音就甚喜樂。故此，我這喜樂滿足了。 ³⁰ 他必興旺，我必衰微。」 ³¹ 「從天上來的是在萬有之上；從地上來的是屬乎地，他所說的也是屬乎地。從天上來的是在萬有之上。 ³² 他將所見所聞的見證出來，只是沒有人領受他的見證。 ³³ 那領受他見證的，就印上印，證明神是真的。 ³⁴ 神所差來的就說神的話，因為神賜聖靈給他是沒有限量的。 ³⁵ 父愛子，已將萬有交在他手裡。 ³⁶ 信子的人有永生；不信子的人得不著永生（原文作不得見永生），神的震怒常在他身上。」

7 G2036 我說 G5209 ：『你們 G1163 必須 G509 重 G1080 生 G4671 』，你 G3361 不要 G3754 以為 G2296 希奇。

8 G4151 風 G2309 隨著意思 G4154 吹 G2532 ， G191 你聽見 G846 風的 G5456 響聲 G235 ，卻 G1492 G0 G3756 G1492 不曉得 G4159 從那裡 G2064 來 G2532 ， G4226 往那裡 G5217 去 G3956 ；凡 G1537 從 G4151 聖靈 G1080 生的 G3779 ，也 G2076 是如此。」

9 G3530 尼哥底母 G611 問 G846 他 G2036 說 G4459 ：「怎能 G1410 有 G5023 這事呢？」

10 G2424 耶穌 G611 回答 G2036 說 G1488 G4771 ：「你是 G2474 以色列人 G1320 的先生 G2532 ， G3756 還不 G1097 明白 G5023 這事嗎？

11 G281 G281 我實實在在的 G3004 告訴 G4671 你 G2980 ，我們所說的 G3754 G3739 是 G1492 我們知道的 G2532 ； G3140 我們所見證的 G3739 是 G3708 我們見過的 G2532 ； G3756 你們卻不 G2983 領受 G2257 我們的 G3141 見證。

12 G1487 G5213 我對你們 G2036 說 G1919 地上的事 G2532 ， G3756 你們尚且不 G4100 信 G1437 ，若 G2036 說 G2032 天上的事 G4459 ，如何 G4100 能信呢？

13 G2532 G1508 除了 G1537 從 G3772 天 G2597 降下 G5607 G1722 、仍舊在 G3772 天 G444 的人 G5207 子 G3762 ，沒有人 G305 升過 G3772 天。

14 G2532 G3475 摩西 G1722 在 G2048 曠野 G5312 怎樣舉 G3789 蛇 G444 ，人 G5207 子 G3779 也 G1163 必 G2531 照樣 G5312 被舉起來，

15 G3363 G0 G3956 叫一切 G4100 信 G846 他 G2192 的都得 G166 永 G2222 生（或作：叫一切信的人在他裡面得永生）。

16 G1063 「 G2316 神 G25 愛 G2889 世人 G5620 ，甚至 G846 將他的 G3439 獨生 G5207 子 G1325 賜給 G2443 他們，叫 G3956 一切 G4100 信 G1519 G846 他的 G3361 ，不 G622 G0 至 G622 滅亡 G235 ，反 G2192 得 G166 永 G2222 生。

17 G1063 因為 G2316 神 G649 差 G846 他的 G5207 兒子 G1519 降 G2889 世 G3756 ，不是 G2443 G2919 要定 G2889 世人 G235 的罪（或作：審判世人；下同），乃是 G2443 要 G2889 叫世人 G4982 因他得救。

18 G4100 信 G846 他 G3756 的人，不 G2919 G0 被 G2919 定罪 G1161 ； G3361 不 G4100 信 G2235 的人，罪已經 G2919 定了 G3754 ，因為 G4100 G0 他 G3361 不 G4100 信 G2316 神 G3439 獨生 G5207 子 G3686 的名。

19 G1161 G3754 G5457 光 G2064 來到 G2889 世間 G2532 ， G444 世人 G1063 因 G846 自己的 G2041 行為 G2258 是 G4190 惡的 G5457 ，不愛光 G3123 ，倒 G25 愛 G4655 黑暗 G2920 ，定他們的罪 G3778 G2076 就是在此。

20 G1063 G3956 凡 G4238 作 G5337 惡的 G3404 便恨 G5457 光 G2532 G3756 ，並 G2064 不來 G4314 就 G5457 光 G3363 ，恐怕 G846 他的 G2041 行為 G1651 受責備。

21 G1161 但 G4160 行 G225 真理 G2064 的必來 G4314 就 G5457 光 G5319 ，要顯明 G846 他 G2041 所行的 G3754 是 G1722 靠 G2316 神 G2038 而行。」

22 G5023 這事 G3326 以後 G2424 ，耶穌 G2532 和 G3101 門徒 G2064 到了 G2449 猶太 G1093 地 G2532 ， G1563 在那裡 G1304 居住 G2532 ， G907 施洗。

23 G1161 G2491 約翰 G1722 在 G1451 靠近 G4530 撒冷 G137 的哀嫩 G2532 也 G907 施洗 G3754 ；因為 G2258 那裡 G5204 水 G4183 多 G2532 ， G3854 眾人都去 G907 受洗。

24 G1063 G2491 （那時約翰 G3768 還沒有 G906 下在 G5438 監計。）

25 G2491 約翰 G1537 的 G3101 門徒 G2453 和一個猶太人 G2214 辯論 G2512 潔淨的禮，

26 G2532 就 G2064 來 G4314 見 G2491 約翰 G2036 ，說 G4461 ：「拉比 G3326 ，從前同 G4675 你 G2258 在 G2446 約但河 G4008 外 G4771 、你 G3140 所見證 G3739 的那位 G907 ，現在施洗 G3956 ，眾人 G4314 都往 G846 他 G2064 那裡去了。」

27 G2491 約翰 G611 說 G3362 ：「若 G5600 不是 G1537 從 G3772 天上 G1325 賜的 G444 ，人 G1410 G3756 就不能 G2983 得 G3762 甚麼。

28 G3754 我曾 G2036 說 G1473 G1510 ：『我 G3756 不是 G5547 基督 G3754 G1510 ，是 G649 奉差遣 G1565 在他 G1715 前面的 G5210 』，你們 G846 自己 G3427 可以給我 G3140 G0 G3140 作見證。

29 G2192 娶 G3565 新婦 G2076 的就是 G3566 新郎 G3566 ；新郎 G5384 的朋友 G2476 站著 G191 ，聽見 G3566 新郎的 G5456 聲音 G5479 就甚 G5463 喜樂 G3767 。故此 G1699 ，我 G3778 這 G5479 喜樂 G4137 滿足了。

30 G1565 他 G1163 必 G837 興旺 G1691 ，我 G1642 必衰微。」

31 G509 「從天上 G2064 來的 G2076 是 G3956 在萬有 G1883 之上 G5607 ；從 G1093 地上 G1537 來 G2076 的是 G1537 G1093 屬乎地 G2980 ，他所說的 G1537 也是屬乎 G1093 地 G1537 。從 G3772 天上 G2064 來的 G2076 是在 G3956 萬有 G1883 之上。

32 G3708 他將所見 G191 所聞 G3140 的見證 G3762 出來，只是沒有人 G2983 領受 G846 他的 G3141 見證。

33 G2983 那領受 G846 他 G3141 見證的 G4972 ，就印上印 G2316 ，證明神 G2076 是 G227 真的。

34 G2316 神 G649 所差來的 G2980 就說 G2316 神 G4487 的話 G1063 ，因為 G2316 神 G1325 賜 G4151 聖靈 G3756 給他是沒有 G1537 G3358 限量的。

35 G3962 父 G25 愛 G5207 子 G3956 ，已將萬有 G1325 交在 G846 他 G5495 手裡。

36 G4100 信 G5207 子 G2192 的人有 G166 永 G2222 生 G544 ；不信 G5207 子 G3700 G0 G3756 的人得不著 G2222 永生 G3700 （原文作不得見 G2316 永生），神 G3709 的震怒 G3306 常在他身上。」

2 G3571 这人夜里 G2064 来见 G2424 耶稣 G2532 ， G2036 说 G1492 「拉比，我们知道 G2064 你是由 G2316 神 G2064 G0 那里来作 G1320 师傅的 G1063 ；因为 G4771 你 G3739 所 G4160 行的 G4592 神蹟 G2316 ，若没有神 G5600 G3326 同在 G3762 ，无人 G1410 能 G4160 行。」

3 G2424 耶稣 G611 回答 G2036 说 G281 G281 ：「我实实在在地 G3004 告诉 G4671 你 G5100 ，人 G509 若不重 G1080 生 G1410 G3756 ，就不能 G1492 见 G2316 神 G932 的国。」

4 G3530 尼哥底母 G3004 说 G444 ：「人 G5607 已经 G1088 老 G4459 了，如何 G1410 能 G1080 重生 G3361 G1410 呢？岂能 G1525 再进 G3384 母 G2836 腹 G1080 生出来吗？」

34 G2316 神 G649 所差来的 G2980 就说 G2316 神 G4487 的话 G1063 ，因为 G2316 神 G1325 赐 G4151 圣灵 G3756 给他是没有 G1537 G3358 限量的。

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Estis viro el la Fariseoj, nomata Nikodemo, cxefo inter la Judoj; ² tiu venis al li nokte, kaj diris al li:Rabeno, ni scias, ke vi estas instruisto, veninta de Dio; cxar neniu povas fari tiujn signojn, kiujn vi faras, se Dio ne estas kun li. ³ Jesuo respondis kaj diris al li:Vere, vere, mi diras al vi:Se homo ne estas denove naskita, li ne povas vidi la regnon de Dio. ⁴ Nikodemo diris al li:Kiel povas homo naskigxi, kiam li estas maljuna? cxu li povas eniri denove en la ventron de sia patrino kaj naskigxi? ⁵ Jesuo respondis:Vere, vere, mi diras al vi:Se homo ne estas naskita el akvo kaj la Spirito, li ne povas eniri en la regnon de Dio. ⁶ Tio, kio naskigxas el la karno, estas karno; kaj tio, kio naskigxas de la Spirito, estas spirito. ⁷ Ne miru, ke mi diris al vi:Vi devas esti denove naskitaj. ⁸ La vento blovas, kie gxi volas, kaj gxian vocxon vi auxdas, sed vi ne scias, de kie gxi venas kaj kien gxi iras; tia estas cxiu, kiu estas naskita de la Spirito. ⁹ Nikodemo respondis kaj diris al li:Kiel povas tio farigxi? ¹⁰ Jesuo respondis kaj diris al li:Vi estas la instruisto de Izrael, kaj cxu vi ne scias tion? ¹¹ Vere, vere, mi diras al vi:Kion ni scias, tion ni parolas, kaj kion ni vidis, tion ni atestas; kaj vi homoj ne akceptas nian ateston. ¹² Se mi aferojn surterajn diris al vi, kaj vi ne kredas, kiel vi kredos, se mi diros encxielajn? ¹³ Kaj neniu supreniris en la cxielon, krom tiu, kiu malsupreniris de la cxielo, la Filo de homo, kiu estas en la cxielo. ¹⁴ Kaj kiel Moseo levis la serpenton en la dezerto, tiel devas la Filo de homo esti levita; ¹⁵ por ke cxiu, fidanta al li, havu eternan vivon. ¹⁶ CXar Dio tiel amis la mondon, ke Li donis Sian solenaskitan Filon, por ke cxiu, kiu fidas al li, ne pereu, sed havu eternan vivon. ¹⁷ CXar Dio sendis Sian Filon en la mondon, ne por jugxi la mondon, sed por ke la mondo per li estu savita. ¹⁸ Kiu fidas al li, tiu ne estas jugxata; sed la nekredanto jam estas jugxita, cxar li ne fidas al la nomo de la solenaskita Filo de Dio. ¹⁹ Kaj jen estas la jugxo:ke la lumo venis en la mondon, kaj la homoj amis la mallumon pli ol la lumon, cxar iliaj faroj estis malbonaj. ²⁰ CXar cxiu, kiu faradas malbonon, malamas la lumon, kaj ne venas al la lumo, por ke liaj faroj ne estu malaprobitaj. ²¹ Sed tiu, kiu faras la veron, venas al la lumo, por ke liaj faroj estu montrataj, ke ili estas faritaj en Dio. ²² Post tio venis Jesuo kun siaj discxiploj en la landon Judujo, kaj restis tie kun ili kaj baptadis. ²³ Johano ankaux baptadis en Enon, proksime de Salim, cxar estis tie multe da akvoj; kaj oni alvenis kaj estis baptitaj. ²⁴ CXar Johano ankoraux ne estis jxetita en malliberejon. ²⁵ Farigxis do diskutado inter la discxiploj de Johano kaj iu Judo pri la purigxo. ²⁶ Kaj ili venis al Johano, kaj diris al li:Rabeno, tiu, kiu estis kun vi transe de Jordan, kaj pri kiu vi atestis, jen tiu sama baptas, kaj cxiuj venas al li. ²⁷ Johano respondis kaj diris:Homo ne povas ion ricevi, se gxi ne estas donita al li el la cxielo. ²⁸ Vi mem atestas pri mi, ke mi diris:Mi ne estas la Kristo, sed mi estas sendita antaux li. ²⁹ Kiu havas la fiancxinon, tiu estas la fiancxo; sed la amiko de la fiancxo, kiu staras kaj lin auxdas, tre gxojas pro la vocxo de la fiancxo; cxi tiu mia gxojo do plenumigxis. ³⁰ Li devas altigxi, sed mi devas malaltigxi. ³¹ Kiu de supre venas, tiu estas super cxiuj; kiu estas el la tero, tiu el la tero estas, kaj el la tero parolas; kiu venas de la cxielo, tiu estas super cxiuj. ³² Kion li vidis kaj auxdis, tion li atestas; kaj neniu akceptas lian ateston. ³³ Kiu akceptis lian ateston, tiu jam sigelis, ke Dio estas vera. ³⁴ CXar tiu, kiun Dio sendis, parolas la vortojn de Dio; cxar ne lauxmezure Li donas la Spiriton. ³⁵ La Patro amas la Filon, kaj donis cxion en lian manon. ³⁶ Kiu fidas al la Filo, tiu havas eternan vivon; sed kiu ne obeas al la Filo, tiu ne vidos vivon, sed la kolero de Dio sur li restas.

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Oli variseride seas mees, Nikodeemus nimi, uks juutide ülem. ² See tuli Jeesuse juure öösel ja ütles Temale: "Rabi, me teame, et Sa Jumalalt oled tulnud õpetajaks; sest keegi ei või teha neid imetähti, mida Sina teed, kui Jumal ei ole temaga!" ³ Jeesus vastas ning ütles talle: "Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen sulle, kui keegi ei sunni ülalt, ei või ta Jumala riiki näha!" ⁴ Nikodeemus ütles Temale: "Kuidas võib inimene sündida, kui ta on vana? Ega ta või teist korda minna oma ema ihusse ja sündida?" ⁵ Jeesus vastas: "Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen sulle, kui keegi ei sünni veest ja Vaimust, ei või ta Jumala riiki pääseda! ⁶ Mis lihast on sündinud, on liha, ja mis Vaimust on sündinud, on vaim! ⁷ Ära pane imeks, et Ma ütlesin sulle: Te peate uuesti sündima! ⁸ Tuul puhub, kus ta tahab, ja sa kuuled ta häält, aga sa ei tea, kust ta tuleb ja kuhu ta läheb; nõnda on igaüks, kes on sündinud Vaimust!" ⁹ Nikodeemus vastas ning ütles Talle: "Kuidas see võib sündida?" ¹⁰ Jeesus vastas ning ütles talle: "Sina oled Iisraeli õpetaja, ja ei tea seda? ¹¹ Tõesti, tõesti Ma ütlen sulle, Me räägime, mida Me teame, ja tunnistame, mis Me oleme näinud, ja te ei võta Meie tunnistust vastu! ¹² Kui Ma teile räägin maisist asjust, ja te ei usu, kuidas te usuksite, kui Ma teile räägiksin taevasist asjust? ¹³ Ja ometi ei ole ükski muu läinud taevasse kui aga See, Kes taevast on maha tulnud, Inimese Poeg! ¹⁴ Ja nõnda nagu Mooses kõrves mao ülendas, nõnda ülendatakse Inimese Poeg, ¹⁵ et igaühel, kes usub Temasse, oleks igavene elu! ¹⁶ Sest nõnda on Jumal maailma armastanud, et Ta Oma Ainusündinud Poja, on annud, et ükski, kes Temasse usub, ei saaks hukka, vaid et temal oleks igavene elu! ¹⁷ Sest Jumal ei ole Oma Poega läkitanud maailma, et Ta maailma üle kohut mõistaks, vaid et maailm Tema läbi õndsaks saaks! ¹⁸ Kes usub Temasse, selle üle ei mõisteta kohut; aga kes ei usu, selle üle on juba kohus mõistetud, sest Ta ei ole uskunud Jumala ainusündinud Poja nimesse. ¹⁹ Aga see on kohus, et valgus on tulnud maailma ja inimesed armastasid pimedust rohkem kui valgust, sest nende teod olid kurjad. ²⁰ Sest igaüks, kes teeb kurja, vihkab valgust ega tule valguse juure, et ta tegusid ei laidetaks. ²¹ Aga kes teeb tõtt, see tuleb valguse juure, et ta teod saaksid avalikuks, sest need on Jumalas tehtud!" ²² Pärast seda tulid Jeesus ja Tema jüngrid Juudamaale; ja seal Ta viibis nendega ja ristis. ²³ Aga ka Johannes oli ristimas Ainonis Salimi lähedal, sest seal oli palju vett ja sinna tuli inimesi ja nad ristiti. ²⁴ Sest Johannes ei olnud veel vangitorni heidetud. ²⁵ Siis hakkasid Johannese jüngrid vaidlema ühe juudiga puhastuse pärast. ²⁶ Ja nad tulid Johannese juure ja ütlesid temale: "Rabi! See, Kes oli Sinuga sealpool Jordanit, Kellest sina tunnistasid, vaata, see ristib ja kõik lähevad Tema juure!" ²⁷ Johannes vastas ning ütles: "Inimene ei või midagi võtta, kui see temale ei ole antud taevast. ²⁸ Te ise olete minu tunnistajad, et ma ütlesin: Mina ei ole Kristus, vaid mind on läkitatud Tema eele! ²⁹ Kellel on pruut, see on peigmees; aga peigmehe sõber seisab ja kuulab teda ja on väga rõõmus peigmehe häälest. See mu rõõm on nüüd saanud täielikuks! ³⁰ Tema peab kasvama, aga mina pean kahanema! ³¹ Kes tuleb ülalt, see on üle kõikide! Kes on maast, see on maast ja räägib maast; Kes tuleb taevast, on üle kõikide ³² ja tunnistab seda, mida Ta on näinud ja kuulnud, ja Tema tunnistust ei võta ükski vastu! ³³ Kes võtab vastu Tema tunnistuse, see kinnitab, et Jumal on tõeline! ³⁴ Sest See, Kelle Jumal on läkitanud, räägib Jumala sõnu; sest Jumal ei anna Vaimu mõõdu järele! ³⁵ Isa armastab Poega ja on kõik annud Tema kätte! ³⁶ Kes usub Pojasse, sellel on igavene elu; aga kes ei kuule Poja sõna, see ei saa elu näha, vaid Jumala viha jääb tema peale!"

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Niin oli yksi mies Pharisealaisista, Nikodemus nimeltä, Juudalaisten ylimmäinen. ² Se tuli yöllä Jesuksen tykö ja sanoi hänelle: Mestari, me tiedämme, että sinä olet Jumamalasta opettajaksi tullut; sillä ei taida kenkään niitä tunnustähtiä tehdä, joita sinä teet, jollei Jumala ole hänen kanssansa. ³ Jesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: totisesti, totisesti sanon minä sinulle: ellei joku vastuudesta synny, ei hän taida Jumalanmalan valtakuntaa nähdä. ⁴ Nikodemus sanoi hänelle: kuinka taitaa ihminen vanhana syntyä? taitaako hän äitinsä kohtuun jälleen mennä, ja syntyä? ⁵ Jesus vastasi: totisesti, totisesti sanon minä sinulle: ellei joku synny vedestä ja Hengestä ei hän taida Jumalan valtakuntaan sisälle tulla. ⁶ Mitä lihasta syntynyt on, se on liha, ja mitä Hengestä syntynyt on se on henki. ⁷ Älä ihmettele, että minä sanoin sinulle: teidän pitää uudesta syntymän. ⁸ Tuuli puhaltaa, kussa hän tahtoo, ja sinä kuulet hänen humunsa, ja et tiedä, kusta hän tulee taikka kuhunka hän menee: näin on jokainen, joka Hengestä syntynyt on. ⁹ Vastasi Nikodemus ja sanoi hänelle: kuinka ne taitavat tapahtua? ¹⁰ Jesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: sinä olet mestari Israelissa, ja et näitä tiedä! ¹¹ Totisesti, totisesti sanon minä sinulle: me puhumme, mitä me tiedämme, ja todistamme, mitä me näemme, ja ette ota vastaan meidän todistustamme. ¹² Jos minä maallisia teille sanoin, ja ette usko: kuinka te uskoisitte, jos minä taivaallisia teille sanoisin? ¹³ Ei astu kenkään ylös taivaasen, vaan joka taivaasta astui alas, Ihmisen Poika, joka on taivaassa. ¹⁴ Ja niinkuin Moses ylensi kärmeen korvessa, niin myös Ihmisen Poika pitää ylennettämän. ¹⁵ Että jokainen, joka uskoo hänen päällensä, ei pidä hukkuman, mutta ijankaikkisen elämän saaman. ¹⁶ Sillä niin on Jumala maailmaa rakastanut, että hän antoi ainoan Poikansa, että jokainen, joka uskoo hänen päällensä, ei pidä hukkuman, mutta ijankaikkisen elämän saaman. ¹⁷ Sillä ei Jumala lähettänyt Poikaansa maailmaan, tuomitsemaan maailmaa, mutta että maailma pitää hänen kauttansa vapahdettaman. ¹⁸ Joka hänen päällensä uskoo, ei häntä tuomita; mutta joka ei usko, se on jo tuomittu; sillä ei hän uskonut Jumalan ainoan Pojan nimen päälle. ¹⁹ Mutta tämä on tuomio: että valkeus tuli maailmaan, ja ihmiset rakastivat enemmin pimeyttä kuin valkeutta; sillä heidän työnsä olivat pahat. ²⁰ Sillä jokainen, joka pahaa tekee, se vihaa valkeutta eikä tule valkeuteen, ettei hänen töitänsä pitäisi laitettaman. ²¹ Mutta joka totuuden tekee, se tulee valkeuteen, että hänen työnsä nähtäisiin; sillä ne ovat Jumalassa tehdyt. ²² Sitte tuli Jesus ja hänen opetuslapsensa Juudean maahan, ja asui siellä heidän kanssansa, ja kasti. ²³ Mutta Johannes kasti myös Enonissa läsnä Salimia, sillä siellä oli palto vettä; ja he tulivat ja kastettiin. ²⁴ Sillä ei Johannes ollut vielä silloin vankiuteen heitetty. ²⁵ Niin tuli kysymys Johanneksen opetuslasten ja Juudalaisten välillä puhdistuksesta. ²⁶ Ja he tulivat Johanneksen tykö ja sanoivat hänelle: opettaja, se joka sinun kanssas oli toisella puolella Jordania, josta sinä todistit, katso, hän kastaa, ja jokainen menee hänen tykönsä. ²⁷ Johannes vastasi ja sanoi: ei ihminen taida mitään ottaa, ellei hänelle anneta taivaasta. ²⁸ Te olette itse minun todistajani, että minä olen sanonut: en minä ole Kristus, vaan minä olen hänen edellänsä lähetetty. ²⁹ Jolla on morsian, se on ylkä; mutta yljän ystävä, joka seisoo ja kuultelee häntä, se iloittaa itsiänsä yljän äänestä sangen suuresti; sentähden on tämä minun iloni täytetty. ³⁰ Hänen tulee kasvaa, mutta minun pitää vähenemän. ³¹ Joka ylhäältä tulee, se on kaikkein päällä, ja joka maasta on, se on maasta ja puhuu maasta. Joka taivaasta tulee, hän on kaikkein ylin. ³² Ja mitä hän nähnyt ja kuullut on, sen hän todistaa, ja ei kenkään ota vastaan hänen todistustansa. ³³ Joka hänen todistuksensa otti vastaan, se päätti Jumalan olevan totisen. ³⁴ Sillä jonka Jumala lähetti, se puhuu Jumalan sanoja; sillä ei Jumala anna Henkeä mitalla. ³⁵ Isä rakastaa Poikaa, ja antoi kaikki hänen käteensä. ³⁶ Joka uskoo Pojan päälle, hänellä on ijankaikkinen elämä; mutta joka ei usko Pojan päälle, ei hänen pidä elämää näkemän, mutta Jumalan viha pysyy hänen päällänsä.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mutta oli mies, fariseusten joukosta, nimeltä Nikodeemus, juutalaisten hallitusmiehiä. ² Hän tuli Jeesuksen tykö yöllä ja sanoi hänelle: "Rabbi, me tiedämme, että sinun opettajaksi tulemisesi on Jumalasta, sillä ei kukaan voi tehdä niitä tunnustekoja, joita sinä teet, ellei Jumala ole hänen kanssansa." ³ Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon sinulle: joka ei synny uudesti, ylhäältä, se ei voi nähdä Jumalan valtakuntaa". ⁴ Nikodeemus sanoi hänelle: "Kuinka voi ihminen vanhana syntyä? Eihän hän voi jälleen mennä äitinsä kohtuun ja syntyä?" ⁵ Jeesus vastasi: "Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon sinulle: jos joku ei synny vedestä ja Hengestä, ei hän voi päästä sisälle Jumalan valtakuntaan. ⁶ Mikä lihasta on syntynyt, on liha; ja mikä Hengestä on syntynyt, on henki. ⁷ Älä ihmettele, että minä sanoin sinulle: teidän täytyy syntyä uudesti, ylhäältä. ⁸ Tuuli puhaltaa, missä tahtoo, ja sinä kuulet sen huminan, mutta et tiedä, mistä se tulee ja minne se menee; niin on jokaisen, joka on Hengestä syntynyt." ⁹ Nikodeemus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Kuinka tämä voi tapahtua?" ¹⁰ Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Sinä olet Israelin opettaja etkä tätä tiedä! ¹¹ Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon sinulle: me puhumme, mitä tiedämme, ja todistamme, mitä olemme nähneet, ettekä te ota vastaan meidän todistustamme. ¹² Jos ette usko, kun minä puhun teille maallisista, kuinka te uskoisitte, jos minä puhun teille taivaallisista? ¹³ Ei kukaan ole noussut ylös taivaaseen, paitsi hän, joka taivaasta tuli alas, Ihmisen Poika, joka on taivaassa. ¹⁴ Ja niinkuin Mooses ylensi käärmeen erämaassa, niin pitää Ihmisen Poika ylennettämän, ¹⁵ että jokaisella, joka häneen uskoo, olisi iankaikkinen elämä. ¹⁶ Sillä niin on Jumala maailmaa rakastanut, että hän antoi ainokaisen Poikansa, ettei yksikään, joka häneen uskoo, hukkuisi, vaan hänellä olisi iankaikkinen elämä. ¹⁷ Sillä ei Jumala lähettänyt Poikaansa maailmaan tuomitsemaan maailmaa, vaan sitä varten, että maailma hänen kauttansa pelastuisi. ¹⁸ Joka uskoo häneen, sitä ei tuomita; mutta joka ei usko, se on jo tuomittu, koska hän ei ole uskonut Jumalan ainokaisen Pojan nimeen. ¹⁹ Mutta tämä on tuomio, että valkeus on tullut maailmaan, ja ihmiset rakastivat pimeyttä enemmän kuin valkeutta; sillä heidän tekonsa olivat pahat. ²⁰ Sillä jokainen, joka pahaa tekee, vihaa valkeutta eikä tule valkeuteen, ettei hänen tekojansa nuhdeltaisi. ²¹ Mutta joka totuuden tekee, se tulee valkeuteen, että hänen tekonsa tulisivat julki, sillä ne ovat Jumalassa tehdyt." ²² Sen jälkeen Jeesus meni opetuslapsineen Juudean maaseudulle ja oleskeli siellä heidän kanssaan ja kastoi. ²³ Mutta Johanneskin kastoi Ainonissa lähellä Salimia, koska siellä oli paljon vettä; ja ihmiset tulivat ja antoivat kastaa itsensä. ²⁴ Sillä Johannesta ei vielä oltu heitetty vankeuteen. ²⁵ Niin Johanneksen opetuslapset rupesivat väittelemään erään juutalaisen kanssa puhdistuksesta. ²⁶ Ja he tulivat Johanneksen luo ja sanoivat hänelle: "Rabbi, se, joka oli sinun kanssasi Jordanin tuolla puolella ja josta sinä olet todistanut, katso, hän kastaa, ja kaikki menevät hänen tykönsä". ²⁷ Johannes vastasi ja sanoi: "Ei ihminen voi ottaa mitään, ellei hänelle anneta taivaasta. ²⁸ Te olette itse minun todistajani, että minä sanoin: en minä ole Kristus, vaan minä olen hänen edellänsä lähetetty. ²⁹ Jolla on morsian, se on ylkä; mutta yljän ystävä, joka seisoo ja kuuntelee häntä, iloitsee suuresti yljän äänestä. Tämä minun iloni on nyt tullut täydelliseksi. ³⁰ Hänen tulee kasvaa, mutta minun vähetä. ³¹ Hän, joka ylhäältä tulee, on yli kaikkien. Joka on syntyisin maasta, se on maasta, ja maasta on, mitä hän puhuu; hän, joka taivaasta tulee, on yli kaikkien. ³² Ja mitä hän on nähnyt ja kuullut, sitä hän todistaa; ja hänen todistustansa ei kukaan ota vastaan. ³³ Joka ottaa vastaan hänen todistuksensa, se sinetillä vahvistaa, että Jumala on totinen. ³⁴ Sillä hän, jonka Jumala on lähettänyt, puhuu Jumalan sanoja; sillä ei Jumala anna Henkeä mitalla. ³⁵ Isä rakastaa Poikaa ja on antanut kaikki hänen käteensä. ³⁶ Joka uskoo Poikaan, sillä on iankaikkinen elämä; mutta joka ei ole kuuliainen Pojalle, se ei ole elämää näkevä, vaan Jumalan viha pysyy hänen päällänsä."

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Nikodèm ki te fè pati gwoup farizyen yo. Se te yonn nan chèf jwif yo. ² Yon jou lannwit, li vin bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, nou konnen se Bondye ki voye ou moutre nou tout bagay sa yo. Paske, pesonn pa ka fè tout mirak w'ap fè yo si Bondye pa avèk li. ³ Jezi reponn li: Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: Pesonn pa kapab wè Pèyi kote Bondye Wa a si li pa fèt yon dezyèm fwa. ⁴ Nikodèm di li: Ki jan yon nonm ki fin granmoun ka fèt yon dezyèm fwa? Li pa ka tounen nan vant manman l', pou l' fèt yon lòt fwa ankò. ⁵ Jezi reponn li: Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: Pesonn pa ka antre nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a si li pa fèt nan dlo ak nan Sentespri. ⁶ Lachè soti nan lachè, lespri soti nan Lespri Bondye. ⁷ Pa sezi si mwen di ou: se pou nou fèt yon dezyèm fwa. ⁸ Van an soufle kote l' vle. Ou tande bri l'ap fè. Men, ou pa konnen ki bò l' soti, ni ki bò l' prale. Se menm jan an pou tout moun ki fèt nan Lespri Bondye. ⁹ Lè sa a Nikodèm di li: Ki jan sa ka fèt menm? ¹⁰ Jezi reponn li: Ou se yon gwo mèt k'ap moutre pèp Izrayèl la anpil bagay, epi ou pa konn bagay sa yo? ¹¹ Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: mwen menm, mwen pale sa m' konnen, mwen di sa m' te wè. Men nou menm, nou pa vle asepte sa m'ap di a. ¹² Nou pa kwè m' lè m'ap pale nou bagay k'ap pase isit sou latè. Ki jan n'a fè kwè m' lè m'a pale nou bagay k'ap pase nan syèl la? ¹³ Pesonn pa janm moute nan syèl la, esepte Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ki desann soti nan syèl la. ¹⁴ Menm jan Moyiz te leve sèpan ki te fèt an bwonz lan byen wo sou yon poto nan mitan dezè a, konsa tou yo gen pou yo leve Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a byen wo tou. ¹⁵ Tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li va gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. ¹⁶ Paske, Bondye sitèlman renmen lèzòm li bay sèl Pitit li a pou yo. Tout moun ki va mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap pedi lavi yo. Okontrè y'a gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. ¹⁷ Bondye pa voye Pitit li a sou latè pou kondannen lèzòm, men pito pou l' te kapab delivre yo. ¹⁸ Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Pitit Bondye a p'ap kondannen. Men, moun ki pa kwè nan li, yo deja kondannen, paske yo pa t' gen konfyans nan sèl Pitit Bondye a. ¹⁹ Men ki bò kondannasyon an soti pou yo: limyè a te vini nan lemonn, men lèzòm te pito fènwa a pase limyè a, paske sa y'ap fè a mal. ²⁰ Lè yon moun ap fè sa ki mal, li pa vle wè limyè a, li p'ap vini kote limyè a ye, paske li pè pou move zak li yo pa parèt aklè. ²¹ Men, moun ki fè sa ki bon vre, se nan limyè a menm l'ap vini, pou moun ka wè aklè se obeyi l'ap obeyi Bondye nan sa l'ap fè a. ²² Apre sa, Jezi ale ansanm ak disip li yo nan peyi Jide. Li rete kèk tan la ak yo, li t'ap batize moun. ²³ Jan Batis menm t'ap batize moun tou nan Enon, toupre Salim, paske te gen anpil dlo la. Anpil moun te vin jwenn li la pou l' li te batize yo. ²⁴ (Lè sa a, yo pa t' ankò mete Jan Batis nan prizon.) ²⁵ De twa nan patizan Jan yo tonbe diskite ak yon jwif sou regleman relijyon an ki mande pou moun lave kò yo. ²⁶ Y' ale bò kot Jan, yo di l' konsa: Mèt, ou chonje nonm ki te avè ou lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, moun ou t'ap pale nou an? Enben, l'ap batize koulye a. Tout moun al jwenn li. ²⁷ Jan reponn yo: Pesonn pa ka gen anyen si se pa Bondye nan syèl la ki ba li li. ²⁸ Nou menm, nou ka di mwen te di nou sa: Se pa mwen ki Kris la, se voye Bondye voye m' pran devan li. ²⁹ Nan yon maryaj, lamarye se pou nonm k'ap marye a. Zanmi nonm k'ap marye a kanpe toupre l', l'ap koute. Li pa manke kontan lè li tande vwa nonm k'ap marye a. Se konsa, mwen menm, mwen kontan nèt koulye a. ³⁰ Li fèt pou li vin pi gran, pou mwen menm, mwen vin pi piti toujou. ³¹ Moun ki soti anwo a pi gran pase nou tout. Moun ki soti sou latè, se pou latè li ye, l'ap pale nou bagay ki sou latè. Moun ki soti anwo nan syèl la, li pi wo pase nou tout. ³² L'ap di sa l' wè, sa l' tande. Men, pesonn pa asepte mesaj li. ³³ Moun ki asepte sa l'ap di a, li rekonèt sa Bondye di a se vre. ³⁴ Moun Bondye voye a, se pawòl Bondye l'ap pale, paske Bondye ba li Sentespri san mezi. ³⁵ Papa a renmen Pitit la, li ba li pouvwa sou tout bagay. ³⁶ Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Pitit la, yo gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Moun ki desobeyi Pitit la, yo p'ap gen lavi sa a. Se kòlè Bondye k'ap tonbe sou yo.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Vala pedig a farizeusok közt egy ember, a neve Nikodémus, a zsidók fõembere: ² Ez jöve Jézushoz éjjel, és monda néki: Mester, tudjuk, hogy Istentõl jöttél tanítóul; mert senki sem teheti e jeleket, a melyeket te teszel, hanem ha az Isten van vele. ³ Felele Jézus és monda néki: Bizony, bizony mondom néked: ha valaki újonnan nem születik, nem láthatja az Isten országát. ⁴ Monda néki Nikodémus: Mimódon születhetik az ember, ha vén? Vajjon bemehet-é az õ anyjának méhébe másodszor, és születhetik-é? ⁵ Felele Jézus: Bizony, bizony mondom néked: Ha valaki nem születik víztõl és Lélektõl, nem mehet be az Isten országába. ⁶ A mi testtõl született, test az; és a mi Lélektõl született, lélek az. ⁷ Ne csodáld, hogy azt mondám néked: Szükség néktek újonnan születnetek. ⁸ A szél fú, a hová akar, és annak zúgását hallod, de nem tudod honnan jõ és hová megy: így van mindenki, a ki Lélektõl született. ⁹ Felele Nikodémus és monda néki: Mimódon lehetnek ezek? ¹⁰ Felele Jézus és monda néki: Te Izráel tanítója vagy, és nem tudod ezeket? ¹¹ Bizony, bizony mondom néked, a mit tudunk, azt mondjuk, és a mit látunk, arról teszünk bizonyságot; és a mi bizonyságtételünket el nem fogadjátok. ¹² Ha a földiekrõl szóltam néktek és nem hisztek, mimódon hisztek, ha a mennyeiekrõl szólok néktek? ¹³ És senki sem ment fel a mennybe, hanemha az, a ki a mennybõl szállott alá, az embernek Fia, a ki a mennyben van. ¹⁴ És a miképen felemelte Mózes a kígyót a pusztában, akképen kell az ember Fiának felemeltetnie. ¹⁵ Hogy valaki hiszen õ benne, el ne veszszen, hanem örök élete legyen. ¹⁶ Mert úgy szerette Isten e világot, hogy az õ egyszülött Fiát adta, hogy valaki hiszen õ benne, el ne vesszen, hanem örök élete legyen. ¹⁷ Mert nem azért küldte az Isten az õ Fiát a világra, hogy kárhoztassa a világot, hanem hogy megtartassék a világ általa. ¹⁸ A ki hiszen õ benne, el nem kárhozik; a ki pedig nem hisz, immár elkárhozott, mivelhogy nem hitt az Isten egyszülött Fiának nevében. ¹⁹ Ez pedig a kárhoztatás, hogy a világosság e világra jött, és az emberek inkább szerették a sötétséget, mint a világosságot; mert az õ cselekedeteik gonoszak valának. ²⁰ Mert minden, a ki hamisan cselekszik, gyûlöli a világosságot és nem megy a világosságra, hogy az õ cselekedetei fel ne fedessenek; ²¹ A ki pedig az igazságot cselekszi, az a világosságra megy, hogy az õ cselekedetei nyilvánvalókká legyenek, hogy Isten szerint való cselekedetek. ²² Ezután elméne Jézus az õ tanítványaival a Júdea földére; és ott idõzék velök, és keresztele. ²³ János pedig szintén keresztel vala Énonban, Sálemhez közel, mert ott sok volt a víz. És oda járulának és megkeresztelkedének. ²⁴ Mert János még nem vetteték a tömlöczbe. ²⁵ Vetekedés támada azért a János tanítványai és a judeaiak között a mosakodás felõl. ²⁶ És menének Jánoshoz és mondának néki: Mester! A ki veled vala a Jordánon túl, a kirõl te bizonyságot tettél, ímé az keresztel, és hozzá megy mindenki. ²⁷ Felele János és monda: Az ember semmit sem vehet, hanem ha a mennybõl adatott néki. ²⁸ Ti magatok vagytok a bizonyságaim, hogy megmondtam: Nem vagyok én a Krisztus, hanem hogy õ elõtte küldettem el. ²⁹ A kinek jegyese van, võlegény az; a võlegény barátja pedig, a ki ott áll és hallja õt, örvendezve örül a võlegény szavának. Ez az én örömem immár betelt. ³⁰ Annak növekednie kell, nékem pedig alább szállanom. ³¹ A ki felülrõl jött, feljebb való mindenkinél. A ki a földrõl való, földi az és földieket szól; a ki a mennybõl jött, feljebb való mindenkinél. ³² És arról tesz bizonyságot, a mit látott és hallott; és az õ bizonyságtételét senki sem fogadja be. ³³ A ki az õ bizonyságtételét befogadja, az megpecsételte, hogy az Isten igaz. ³⁴ Mert a kit az Isten küldött, az Isten beszédeit szólja; mivelhogy az Isten nem mérték szerint adja a Lelket. ³⁵ Az Atya szereti a Fiút, és az õ kezébe adott mindent. ³⁶ A ki hisz a Fiúban, örök élete van; a ki pedig nem enged a Fiúnak, nem lát életet, hanem az Isten haragja marad rajta.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ada seorang tokoh agama dari kalangan orang Farisi yang bernama Nikodemus. ² Pada suatu malam ia datang kepada Yesus dan berkata, "Bapak Guru, kami tahu Bapak diutus Allah. Sebab tak seorang pun dapat membuat keajaiban seperti yang Bapak buat, kalau Allah tidak menyertai dia." ³ Yesus menjawab, "Percayalah, tak seorang pun dapat menjadi anggota umat Allah, kalau ia tidak dilahirkan kembali." ⁴ "Masakan orang dewasa dapat lahir kembali?" kata Nikodemus kepada Yesus. "Mungkinkah ia masuk kembali ke dalam kandungan ibunya dan dilahirkan lagi?" ⁵ Yesus menjawab, "Sungguh benar kata-Ku ini: kalau orang tidak dilahirkan dari air dan dari Roh Allah, orang itu tak dapat menjadi anggota umat Allah. ⁶ Manusia secara jasmani dilahirkan oleh orang tua, tetapi secara rohani dilahirkan oleh Roh Allah. ⁷ Jangan heran kalau Aku mengatakan: kamu semua harus dilahirkan kembali. ⁸ Angin bertiup ke mana ia mau; kita mendengar bunyinya, tetapi tidak tahu dari mana datangnya dan ke mana perginya. Begitu juga dengan orang yang dilahirkan oleh Roh Allah." ⁹ "Bagaimana itu dapat terjadi?" tanya Nikodemus. ¹⁰ Yesus menjawab, "Engkau guru di Israel; masakan engkau tidak tahu? ¹¹ Percayalah: kami bicara hanya tentang apa yang kami ketahui, dan kami memberi kesaksian hanya tentang apa yang sudah kami lihat; tetapi kalian tidak mau menerima kesaksian kami. ¹² Kalian tidak percaya kalau Aku menceritakan kepadamu mengenai hal-hal dari dunia ini; bagaimana kalian dapat percaya, kalau Aku menceritakan kepadamu hal-hal mengenai surga? ¹³ Tak seorang pun pernah naik ke surga, selain Dia yang turun ke dunia, yaitu Anak Manusia. ¹⁴ Sama seperti Musa menaikkan ular tembaga pada sebatang kayu di padang gurun, begitu juga Anak Manusia harus dinaikkan, ¹⁵ supaya semua orang yang percaya kepada-Nya mendapat hidup sejati dan kekal." ¹⁶ Karena Allah begitu mengasihi manusia di dunia ini, sehingga Ia memberikan Anak-Nya yang tunggal, supaya setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak binasa, melainkan mendapat hidup sejati dan kekal. ¹⁷ Sebab Allah mengirim Anak-Nya bukan untuk menghakimi dunia ini, tetapi untuk menyelamatkannya. ¹⁸ Orang yang percaya kepada-Nya tidak dihukum. Tetapi orang yang tidak percaya sudah dihukum oleh Allah, karena ia tidak percaya kepada Anak Allah yang tunggal. ¹⁹ Ia dituntut berdasarkan hal ini: Terang itu sudah datang ke dunia, tetapi manusia lebih menyukai gelap daripada terang, sebab perbuatan mereka jahat. ²⁰ Setiap orang yang berbuat jahat, benci kepada terang; ia tidak mau datang kepada terang, supaya perbuatannya yang jahat jangan kelihatan. ²¹ Tetapi orang yang melakukan kehendak Allah, datang kepada terang supaya menjadi nyata bahwa apa yang dilakukannya itu adalah menurut kehendak Allah. ²² Setelah itu Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya pergi ke Yudea. Ia tinggal di sana beberapa waktu lamanya dengan mereka dan membaptis. ²³ Pada waktu itu Yohanes belum masuk penjara. Ia membaptis di Ainon, tak jauh dari Salim, sebab di sana ada banyak air. Orang-orang datang kepadanya, dan ia membaptis mereka. ²⁴ (3:23) ²⁵ Beberapa pengikut Yohanes mulai bertengkar dengan orang Yahudi tentang peraturan pembersihan. ²⁶ Mereka pergi kepada Yohanes, dan berkata, "Pak Guru, apakah Bapak masih ingat orang yang bersama Bapak di seberang Sungai Yordan itu, yang Bapak tunjukkan kepada kami dahulu? Ia sekarang membaptis juga, dan semua orang pergi kepada-Nya!" ²⁷ Yohanes menjawab, "Manusia tidak dapat mempunyai apa-apa kalau tidak diberikan Allah kepadanya. ²⁸ Kalian sendiri sudah mendengar saya berkata, 'Saya bukan Raja Penyelamat. Saya diutus mendahului Dia.' ²⁹ Pengantin perempuan adalah kepunyaan pengantin laki-laki. Sahabat pengantin laki-laki itu hanya berdiri mendampingi dan mendengarkan, dan ia senang kalau mendengar suara pengantin laki-laki. Begitu juga dengan saya. Sekarang saya senang sekali. ³⁰ Dialah yang harus makin penting, dan saya makin kurang penting." ³¹ Yang datang dari atas melebihi semuanya. Yang datang dari dunia tergolong orang dunia, dan berbicara tentang hal-hal dunia. Ia yang datang dari atas melebihi semuanya. ³² Ia berbicara mengenai apa yang sudah dilihat dan didengar-Nya, tetapi tidak seorang pun percaya pada kesaksian-Nya. ³³ Orang yang percaya pada kesaksian-Nya itu, mengakui bahwa Allah benar. ³⁴ Sebab orang yang diutus Allah menyampaikan kata-kata Allah, karena Roh Allah sudah diberikan kepada-Nya sepenuhnya. ³⁵ Bapa mengasihi Anak-Nya, dan sudah menyerahkan segala kuasa kepada-Nya. ³⁶ Orang yang percaya kepada Anak itu akan mendapat hidup sejati dan kekal. Tetapi orang yang tidak taat kepada Anak itu tidak mendapat hidup. Ia dihukum Allah untuk selama-lamanya.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or v’era un uomo, d’infra i Farisei, il cui nome era Nicodemo, rettor de’ Giudei. ² Costui venne a Gesù di notte, e gli disse: Maestro, noi sappiamo che tu sei un dottore venuto da Dio; poichè niuno può fare i segni che tu fai, se Iddio non è con lui. ³ Gesù rispose, e gli disse: In verità, in verità, io ti dico, che se alcuno non è nato di nuovo, non può vedere il regno di Dio. ⁴ Nicodemo gli disse: Come può un uomo, essendo vecchio, nascere? può egli entrare una seconda volta nel seno di sua madre, e nascere? ⁵ Gesù rispose: In verità, in verità, io ti dico, che se alcuno non è nato d’acqua e di Spirito, non può entrare nel regno di Dio. ⁶ Ciò che è nato dalla carne è carne; ma ciò che è nato dallo Spirito è spirito. ⁷ Non maravigliarti ch’io ti ho detto che vi convien nascer di nuovo. ⁸ Il vento soffia ove egli vuole, e tu odi il suo suono, ma non sai onde egli viene, nè ove egli va; così è chiunque è nato dello Spirito. ⁹ Nicodemo rispose, e gli disse: Come possono farsi queste cose? ¹⁰ Gesù rispose, e gli disse: Tu sei il dottore d’Israele, e non sai queste cose? ¹¹ In verità, in verità, io ti dico, che noi parliamo ciò che sappiamo, e testimoniamo ciò che abbiamo veduto; ma voi non ricevete la nostra testimonianza. ¹² Se io vi ho dette le cose terrene, e non credete, come crederete, se io vi dico le cose celesti? ¹³ Or niuno è salito in cielo, se non colui ch’è disceso dal cielo, cioè il Figliuol dell’uomo, ch’è nel cielo. ¹⁴ E come Mosè alzò il serpente nel deserto, così conviene che il Figliuol dell’uomo sia innalzato; ¹⁵ acciocchè chiunque crede in lui non perisca, ma abbia vita eterna. ¹⁶ Perciocchè Iddio ha tanto amato il mondo, ch’egli ha dato il suo unigenito Figliuolo, acciocchè chiunque crede in lui non perisca, ma abbia vita eterna. ¹⁷ Poichè Iddio non ha mandato il suo Figliuolo nel mondo, acciocchè condanni il mondo, anzi, acciocchè il mondo sia salvato per mezzo di lui. ¹⁸ Chi crede in lui non sarà condannato, ma chi non crede già è condannato, perciocchè non ha creduto nel nome dell’unigenito Figliuol di Dio. ¹⁹ Or questa è la condannazione: che la luce è venuta nel mondo, e gli uomini hanno amate le tenebre più che la luce, perciocchè le loro opere erano malvage. ²⁰ Poichè chiunque fa cose malvage odia la luce, e non viene alla luce, acciocchè le sue opere non sieno palesate. ²¹ Ma colui che fa opere di verità viene alla luce, acciocchè le opere sue sieno manifestate, perciocchè son fatte in Dio. ²² DOPO queste cose, Gesù, co’ suoi discepoli, venne nel paese della Giudea, e dimorò quivi con loro, e battezzava. ²³ Or Giovanni battezzava anch’egli in Enon, presso di Salim, perciocchè ivi erano acque assai; e la gente veniva, ed era battezzata. ²⁴ Poichè Giovanni non era ancora stato messo in prigione. ²⁵ Laonde fu mossa da’ discepoli di Giovanni una quistione co’ Giudei, intorno alla purificazione. ²⁶ E vennero a Giovanni e gli dissero: Maestro, ecco, colui che era teco lungo il Giordano, a cui tu rendesti testimonianza, battezza, e tutti vengono a lui. ²⁷ Giovanni rispose e disse: L’uomo non può ricever nulla, se non gli è dato dal cielo. ²⁸ Voi stessi mi siete testimoni ch’io ho detto: Io non sono il Cristo; ma ch’io son mandato davanti a lui. ²⁹ Colui che ha la sposa è lo sposo, ma l’amico dello sposo, che è presente, e l’ode, si rallegra grandemente della voce dello sposo; perciò, questa mia allegrezza è compiuta. ³⁰ Conviene ch’egli cresca, e ch’io diminuisca. ³¹ Colui che vien da alto è sopra tutti; colui ch’è da terra è di terra, e di terra parla; colui che vien dal cielo è sopra tutti; ³² e testifica ciò ch’egli ha veduto ed udito; ma niuno riceve la sua testimonianza. ³³ Colui che ha ricevuta la sua testimonianza ha suggellato che Iddio è verace. ³⁴ Perciocchè, colui che Iddio ha mandato parla le parole di Dio; poichè Iddio non gli dia lo Spirito a misura. ³⁵ Il Padre ama il Figliuolo, e gli ha data ogni cosa in mano. ³⁶ Chi crede nel Figliuolo ha vita eterna, ma chi non crede al Figliuolo, non vedrà la vita, ma l’ira di Dio dimora sopra lui.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or v’era tra i Farisei un uomo, chiamato Nicodemo, un de’ capi de’ Giudei. ² Egli venne di notte a Gesù, e gli disse: Maestro, noi sappiamo che tu sei un dottore venuto da Dio; perché nessuno può fare questi miracoli che tu fai, se Dio non è con lui. ³ Gesù gli rispose dicendo: In verità, in verità io ti dico che se uno non è nato di nuovo, non può vedere il regno di Dio. ⁴ Nicodemo gli disse: Come può un uomo nascere quand’è vecchio? Può egli entrare una seconda volta nel seno di sua madre e nascere? ⁵ Gesù rispose: In verità, in verità io ti dico che se uno non è nato d’acqua e di Spirito, non può entrare nel regno di Dio. ⁶ Quel che è nato dalla carne, è carne; e quel che è nato dallo Spirito, è spirito. ⁷ Non ti maravigliare se t’ho detto: Bisogna che nasciate di nuovo. ⁸ Il vento soffia dove vuole, e tu ne odi il rumore, ma non sai né d’onde viene né dove va; così è di chiunque è nato dallo Spirito. ⁹ Nicodemo replicò e gli disse: Come possono avvenir queste cose? ¹⁰ Gesù gli rispose: Tu se’ il dottor d’Israele e non sai queste cose? ¹¹ In verità, in verità io ti dico che noi parliamo di quel che sappiamo, e testimoniamo di quel che abbiamo veduto; ma voi non ricevete la nostra testimonianza. ¹² Se vi ho parlato delle cose terrene e non credete, come crederete se vi parlerò delle cose celesti? ¹³ E nessuno è salito in cielo, se non colui che è disceso dal cielo: il Figliuol dell’uomo che è nel cielo. ¹⁴ E come Mosè innalzò il serpente nel deserto, così bisogna che il Figliuol dell’uomo sia innalzato, ¹⁵ affinché chiunque crede in lui abbia vita eterna. ¹⁶ Poiché Iddio ha tanto amato il mondo, che ha dato il suo unigenito Figliuolo, affinché chiunque crede in lui non perisca, ma abbia vita eterna. ¹⁷ Infatti Iddio non ha mandato il suo Figliuolo nel mondo per giudicare il mondo, ma perché il mondo sia salvato per mezzo di lui. ¹⁸ Chi crede in lui non è giudicato; chi non crede è già giudicato, perché non ha creduto nel nome dell’unigenito Figliuol di Dio. ¹⁹ E il giudizio è questo: che la luce è venuta nel mondo, e gli uomini hanno amato le tenebre più che la luce, perché le loro opere erano malvage. ²⁰ Poiché chiunque fa cose malvage odia la luce e non viene alla luce, perché le sue opere non siano riprovate; ²¹ ma chi mette in pratica la verità viene alla luce, affinché le opere sue siano manifestate, perché son fatte in Dio. ²² Dopo queste cose, Gesù venne co’ suoi discepoli nelle campagne della Giudea; quivi si trattenne con loro, e battezzava. ²³ Or anche Giovanni stava battezzando a Enon, presso Salim, perché c’era là molt’acqua; e la gente veniva a farsi battezzare. ²⁴ Poiché Giovanni non era ancora stato messo in prigione. ²⁵ Nacque dunque una discussione fra i discepoli di Giovanni e un Giudeo intorno alla purificazione. ²⁶ E vennero a Giovanni e gli dissero: Maestro, colui che era con te di là dal Giordano, e al quale tu rendesti testimonianza, eccolo che battezza, e tutti vanno a lui. ²⁷ Giovanni rispose dicendo: L’uomo non può ricever cosa alcuna, se non gli è data dal cielo. ²⁸ Voi stessi mi siete testimoni che ho detto: Io non sono il Cristo; ma son mandato davanti a lui. ²⁹ Colui che ha la sposa è lo sposo; ma l’amico dello sposo, che è presente e l’ascolta, si rallegra grandemente alla voce dello sposo; questa allegrezza che è la mia è perciò completa. ³⁰ Bisogna che egli cresca, e che io diminuisca. ³¹ Colui che vien dall’alto è sopra tutti; colui che vien dalla terra è della terra e parla com’essendo della terra; colui che vien dal cielo è sopra tutti. ³² Egli rende testimonianza di quel che ha veduto e udito, ma nessuno riceve la sua testimonianza. ³³ Chi ha ricevuto la sua testimonianza ha confermato che Dio è verace. ³⁴ Poiché colui che Dio ha mandato, proferisce le parole di Dio; perché Dio non gli dà lo Spirito con misura. ³⁵ Il Padre ama il Figliuolo, e gli ha dato ogni cosa in mano. ³⁶ Chi crede nel Figliuolo ha vita eterna; ma chi rifiuta di credere al Figliuolo non vedrà la vita, ma l’ira di Dio resta sopra lui.

Latvian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Bet bija cilvēks no farizejiem, vārdā Nikodēms, jūdu priekšnieks. ² Tas naktī atnāca pie Jēzus un sacīja Viņam: Rabbi! Mēs zinām, ka Tu esi no Dieva nācis mācītājs, jo neviens nevar tādus brīnumus darīt, kādus Tu dari, ja ar Viņu nav Dievs. ³ Jēzus atbildēja viņam, sacīdams: Patiesi, patiesi es tev saku: Ja kas no jauna neatdzimst, tas Dieva valstību nevar saskatīt. ⁴ Nikodēms sacīja Viņam: Kā var cilvēks, būdams vecs, piedzimt? Vai viņš var vēlreiz atgriezties mātes miesās un no jauna piedzimt? ⁵ Jēzus atbildēja: Patiesi, patiesi es tev saku: ja kas neatdzimst no ūdens un Svētā Gara, tas nevar ieiet debesu valstībā. ⁶ Kas no miesas ir dzimis, tas ir miesa, bet, kas no Gara ir dzimis, ir gars. ⁷ Nebrīnies par to, ka es tev sacīju: jums vajag no jauna atdzimt. ⁸ Gars dveš, kur gribēdams, un tu dzirdi tā balsi, bet nezini, no kurienes tas nāk un kurp aiziet. Tā ir ar katru, kas piedzimis no Gara. ⁹ Nikodēms atbildēja Viņam, sacīdams: Kā tas var notikt? ¹⁰ Jēzus atbildēja viņam un sacīja: Tu esi Izraēļa mācītājs, un tu to nezini? ¹¹ Patiesi, patiesi, es tev saku: Mēs runājam, ko zinām, un liecinām, ko redzam, bet jūs mūsu liecību nepieņemat. ¹² Ja jūs neticat, kad es jums runāju par zemes dzīvi, kā tad jūs ticēsiet, ja es jums stāstīšu par debess lietām? ¹³ Un neviens neuziet debesīs, kā vienīgi Cilvēka Dēls, kas nācis no debesīm un kas ir debesīs. ¹⁴ Un kā Mozus uzcēla čūsku tuksnesī, tāpat jābūt paaugstinātam Cilvēka Dēlam; ¹⁵ Lai katrs, kas uz Viņu tic, neieiet pazušanā, bet iemanto mūžīgo dzīvi. ¹⁶ Jo Dievs tā mīlēja pasauli, ka deva savu vienpiedzimušo Dēlu, lai ikviens, kas uz Viņu tic, nepazūd, bet iegūst mūžīgo dzīvību. ¹⁷ Jo Dievs nesūtīja savu Dēlu pasaulē, lai Viņš pasauli tiesātu, bet lai pasaule tiktu caur Viņu pestīta. ¹⁸ Kas uz Viņu tic, tas netiek tiesāts, bet, kas netic, tas tāpēc notiesāts, ka netic Dieva vienpiedzimušā Dēla vārdam. ¹⁹ Bet šī ir jau tiesa, ka gaisma nāca pasaulē; bet cilvēki vairāk mīlēja tumsu nekā gaismu, jo viņu darbi bija ļauni. ²⁰ Jo ikviens, kas dara ļaunu, ienīst gaismu un nenāk pie gaismas, lai viņa darbi netiktu nopelti. ²¹ Bet, kas dara patiesību, tas nāk pie gaismas, lai viņa darbi atklājas, jo tie darīti Dievā. ²² Pēc tam Jēzus un Viņa mācekļi aizgāja Jūdejas zemē un tur uzturējās ar viņiem, un kristīja. ²³ Bet Jānis kristīja Ainonā pie Salimas, jo tur bija daudz ūdens; un tie nāca un kristījās, ²⁴ Jo Jānis vēl nebija ieslodzīts cietumā. ²⁵ Bet starp Jāņa mācekļiem un jūdiem izcēlās strīds par šķīstīšanos. ²⁶ Un tie nāca pie Jāņa un sacīja viņam: Rabbi! Tas, kas ar tevi bija viņpus Jordānas, par ko tu nodevi liecību, lūk, Viņš kristī, un visi iet pie Viņa. ²⁷ Jānis atbildēja, sacīdams: Cilvēks nekā nevar ņemt, ja viņam netiek dots no debesīm. ²⁸ Jūs paši man liecināt par to, ko sacīju: Es neesmu Kristus, bet esmu sūtīts pirms Viņa. ²⁹ Kam ir līgava, tas ir līgavainis; bet līgavaiņa draugs, kas stāv un klausās viņā, priekā priecājas par līgavaiņa balsi. Šis mans prieks tad nu piepildījies. ³⁰ Viņam vajaga augt, bet man mazināties. ³¹ Kas nāk no augšienes, tas ir pār visiem. Kas no zemes, tas ir no zemes un par zemi runā. Kas nāk no debesīm, tas ir pār visiem. ³² Un ko Viņš redzēja un dzirdēja, par to Viņš liecina; bet Viņa liecību neviens nepieņem. ³³ Kas Viņa liecību pieņēmis, tas apzīmogojis, ka Dievs ir patiesīgs. ³⁴ Jo, ko Dievs sūtījis, tas runā Dieva vārdus, jo Dievs nedod Garu mērīdams. ³⁵ Tēvs mīl Dēlu un visu ir nodevis Viņa rokā. ³⁶ Kas tic uz Dēlu, tam ir mūžīgā dzīvība; bet, kas Dēlam netic, tas dzīvības neredzēs, bet Dieva dusmas paliek pār viņu.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Buvo vienas fariziejus, vardu Nikodemas, žydų vyresnysis. ² Jis atėjo naktį pas Jėzų ir kreipėsi į Jį: “Rabi, mes žinome, kad esi mokytojas, atėjęs nuo Dievo, nes niekas negalėtų daryti tokių ženklų, kokius Tu darai, jeigu Dievas nebūtų su juo”. ³ Jėzus jam atsakė: “Iš tiesų, iš tiesų sakau tau: jei kas negims iš naujo, negalės regėti Dievo karalystės”. ⁴ Nikodemas paklausė: “Bet kaip gali gimti žmogus, būdamas senas? Argi jis gali antrą kartą įeiti į savo motinos įsčias ir gimti?” ⁵ Jėzus atsakė: “Iš tiesų, iš tiesų sakau tau: jei kas negims iš vandens ir Dvasios, negalės įeiti į Dievo karalystę. ⁶ Kas gimė iš kūno, yra kūnas, o kas gimė iš Dvasios, yra dvasia. ⁷ Nesistebėk, jog pasakiau tau: jums būtina gimti iš naujo. ⁸ Vėjas pučia, kur nori; jo ošimą girdi, bet nežinai, iš kur ateina ir kurlink nueina. Taip yra su kiekvienu, kuris gimė iš Dvasios”. ⁹ Nikodemas atsiliepė: “Kaip tai gali būti?” ¹⁰ Jėzus jam atsakė: “Tu esi Izraelio mokytojas ir šito nesupranti? ¹¹ Iš tiesų, iš tiesų sakau tau: mes kalbame, ką žinome, ir liudijame, ką matėme, o jūs nepriimate mūsų liudijimo. ¹² Jei netikite man kalbant apie žemiškuosius dalykus, tai kaipgi tikėsite, jei kalbėsiu jums apie dangiškuosius? ¹³ Niekas nėra pakilęs į dangų, kaip tik Tas, kuris nužengė iš dangaus,Žmogaus Sūnus, esantis danguje. ¹⁴ Kaip Mozė dykumoje iškėlė gyvatę, taip turi būti iškeltas Žmogaus Sūnus, ¹⁵ kad kiekvienas, kuris Jį tiki, nepražūtų, bet turėtų amžinąjį gyvenimą”. ¹⁶ Nes Dievas taip pamilo pasaulį, jog atidavė savo viengimį Sūnų, kad kiekvienas, kuris Jį tiki, nepražūtų, bet turėtų amžinąjį gyvenimą. ¹⁷ Dievas gi nesiuntė savo Sūnaus į pasaulį, kad Jis pasaulį pasmerktų, bet kad pasaulis per Jį būtų išgelbėtas. ¹⁸ Kas Jį tiki, tas neteisiamas, o kas netiki, jau yra pasmerktas už tai, kad netiki viengimio Dievo Sūnaus vardo. ¹⁹ O teismo nuosprendis yra toks: šviesa atėjo į pasaulį, bet žmonės labiau pamilo tamsą nei šviesą, nes jų darbai buvo pikti. ²⁰ Kiekvienas, kuris daro bloga, neapkenčia šviesos ir neina į šviesą, kad jo darbai nebūtų atskleisti. ²¹ O kas vykdo tiesą, tas eina į šviesą, kad pasirodytų, jog jo darbai atlikti Dieve. ²² Paskui Jėzus su savo mokiniais atėjo į Judėjos kraštą ir, ten su jais būdamas, krikštijo. ²³ Taip pat ir Jonas krikštijo Enone, netoli Salimo, nes ten buvo daug vandens ir žmonės ten ateidavo ir buvo krikštijami. ²⁴ Tada Jonas dar nebuvo įmestas į kalėjimą. ²⁵ Tarp Jono mokinių ir vieno žydo kilo ginčas dėl apsivalymo. ²⁶ Tad jie atėjo pas Joną ir pranešė: “Rabi, Tas kuris buvo su tavimi anapus Jordano, apie kurį tu paliudijai,štai Jis krikštija, ir visi eina pas Jį”. ²⁷ Jonas atsakė: “Žmogus nieko negali pasiimti, jeigu jam neduota iš dangaus. ²⁸ Jūs patys galite man paliudyti, jog sakiau: aš ne Kristus! Aš siųstas būti tik Jo pirmtaku. ²⁹ Kas turi sužadėtinę, tas sužadėtinis, o sužadėtinio bičiulis, kuris šalia stovi ir jį girdi, džiaugte džiaugiasi jaunikio balsu. Todėl šiam mano džiaugsmui jau nieko netrūksta. ³⁰ Jis turi augti, o ašmažėti”. ³¹ Kas iš aukštybių ateina, Tas už visus viršesnis, o kas iš žemės, žemiškas yra ir žemiškai kalba. Kas iš dangaus ateina, Tas už visus viršesnis. ³² Jis liudija, ką matė ir girdėjo, tik niekas Jo liudijimo nepriima. ³³ O kas Jo liudijimą priima, tas pripažįsta, jog Dievas teisus, ³⁴ juk ką Dievas yra siuntęs, Tas kalba Dievo žodžius, nes Dievas teikia Dvasią be saiko. ³⁵ Tėvas myli Sūnų ir visa yra atidavęs į Jo rankas. ³⁶ Kas tiki Sūnų, turi amžinąjį gyvenimą, o kas netiki Sūnumigyvenimo nematys: ant jo pasilieka Dievo rūstybė.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A był niektóry człowiek z Faryzeuszów, imieniem Nikodem, książę żydowski. ² Ten przyszedł do Jezusa w nocy i rzekł mu: Mistrzu! wiemy, żeś przyszedł od Boga nauczycielem; bo nikt tych cudów czynić nie może, które ty czynisz, jeźliby Bóg z nim nie był. ³ Odpowiedział Jezus i rzekł mu: Zaprawdę, zaprawdę powiadam ci: Jeźli się kto nie narodzi znowu, nie może widzieć królestwa Bożego. ⁴ Rzekł do niego Nikodem: Jakoż się może człowiek narodzić, będąc stary? izali powtóre może wnijść w żywot matki swojej i narodzić się? ⁵ Odpowiedział Jezus: Zaprawdę, zaprawdę powiadam ci: Jeźliby się kto nie narodził z wody i z Ducha, nie może wnijść do królestwa Bożego. ⁶ Co się narodziło z ciała, ciało jest, a co się narodziło z Ducha, duch jest. ⁷ Nie dziwuj się, żem ci powiedział: Musicie się znowu narodzić. ⁸ Wiatr, gdzie chce, wieje i głos jego słyszysz, ale nie wiesz, skąd przychodzi i dokąd idzie; takżeć jest każdy, który się narodził z Ducha. ⁹ Odpowiedział Nikodem i rzekł mu: Jakoż to być może? ¹⁰ Odpowiedział Jezus i rzekł mu: Tyś jest nauczycielem w Izraelu, a tego nie wiesz? ¹¹ Zaprawdę, zaprawdę powiadam ci, iż co wiemy, mówimy, a cośmy widzieli, świadczymy: ale świadectwa naszego nie przyjmujecie. ¹² Jeźliż gdym wam ziemskie rzeczy powiadał, a nie wierzycie, jakoż, będęli wam powiadał niebieskie, uwierzycie? ¹³ A nikt nie wstąpił do nieba, tylko ten, który zstąpił z nieba, Syn człowieczy, który jest w niebie. ¹⁴ A jako Mojżesz węża na puszczy wywyższył, tak musi być wywyższony Syn człowieczy. ¹⁵ Aby każdy, kto weń wierzy, nie zginął, ale miał żywot wieczny. ¹⁶ Albowiem tak Bóg umiłował świat, że Syna swego jednorodzonego dał, aby każdy, kto weń wierzy, nie zginął, ale miał żywot wieczny. ¹⁷ Boć nie posłał Bóg Syna swego na świat, aby sądził świat, ale aby świat był zbawiony przezeń. ¹⁸ Kto wierzy weń, nie będzie osądzony; ale kto nie wierzy, już jest osądzony, iż nie uwierzył w imię jednorodzonego Syna Bożego. ¹⁹ A tenci jest sąd, że światłość przyszła na świat, lecz ludzie bardziej umiłowali ciemność niż światłość; bo były złe uczynki ich. ²⁰ Każdy bowiem, kto źle czyni, nienawidzi światłości i nie idzie na światłość, aby nie były zganione uczynki jego. ²¹ Lecz kto czyni prawdę, przychodzi do światłości, aby były jawne uczynki jego, iż w Bogu są uczynione. ²² Potem przyszedł Jezus i uczniowie jego do Judzkiej ziemi, i tam przemieszkiwał z nimi i chrzcił. ²³ Chrzcił też i Jan w Enon, blisko Salim; bo tam było wiele wód, a ludzie przychodzili i chrzcili się. ²⁴ Bo jeszcze Jan nie był podany do więzienia. ²⁵ Wszczęła się tedy gadka między uczniami Janowymi i między Żydami o oczyszczaniu. ²⁶ I przyszli do Jana i rzekli mu: Mistrzu! ten, który był z tobą za Jordanem, któremuś ty dał świadectwo, ten oto chrzci, a wszyscy idą do niego. ²⁷ Odpowiedział Jan i rzekł: Nie może nic wziąć człowiek, jeźliby mu nie było dane z nieba. ²⁸ Wy sami jesteście mi świadkami, żem powiedział: Nie jestem ja Chrystus, ale żem posłany przed nim. ²⁹ Kto ma oblubienicę, ten jest oblubieniec, a przyjaciel oblubieńca, który stoi, a słucha go, weseli się weselem dla głosu oblubieńcowego; przetoż to wesele moje wypełnione jest. ³⁰ On musi rość, a mnie musi ubywać. ³¹ Kto z góry przyszedł, nade wszystkie jest; kto z ziemi jest, ziemski jest i ziemskie rzeczy mówi; ten, który z nieba przyszedł, nade wszystkie jest. ³² A co widział i słyszał, to świadczy, ale świadectwa jego żaden nie przyjmuje. ³³ Kto przyjmuje świadectwo jego, ten zapieczętował, że Bóg jest prawdziwy. ³⁴ Albowiem ten, którego Bóg posłał, słowo Boże mówi; boć mu nie pod miarą daje Bóg Ducha. ³⁵ Ojciec miłuje Syna, i wszystko dał w ręce jego. ³⁶ Kto wierzy w Syna, ma żywot wieczny; ale kto nie wierzy Synowi, nie ogląda żywota, lecz gniew Boży zostaje nad nim.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ora, havia entre os fariseus um homem chamado Nicodemos, um dos principais dos judeus. ² Este foi ter com Jesus, de noite, e disse-lhe: Rabi, sabemos que és Mestre, vindo de Deus; pois ninguém pode fazer estes sinais que tu fazes, se Deus não estiver com ele. ³ Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Em verdade, em verdade te digo que se alguém não nascer de novo, não pode ver o reino de Deus. ⁴ Perguntou-lhe Nicodemos: Como pode um homem nascer, sendo velho? porventura pode tornar a entrar no ventre de sua mãe, e nascer? ⁵ Jesus respondeu: Em verdade, em verdade te digo que se alguém não nascer da água e do Espírito, não pode entrar no reino de Deus. ⁶ O que é nascido da carne é carne, e o que é nascido do Espírito é espírito. ⁷ Não te admires de eu te haver dito: Necessário vos é nascer de novo. ⁸ O vento sopra onde quer, e ouves a sua voz; mas não sabes donde vem, nem para onde vai; assim é todo aquele que é nascido do Espírito. ⁹ Perguntou-lhe Nicodemos: Como pode ser isto? ¹⁰ Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Tu és mestre em Israel, e não entendes estas coisas? ¹¹ Em verdade, em verdade te digo que nós dizemos o que sabemos e testemunhamos o que temos visto; e não aceitais o nosso testemunho! ¹² Se vos falei de coisas terrestres, e não credes, como crereis, se vos falar das celestiais? ¹³ Ora, ninguém subiu ao céu, senão o que desceu do céu, o Filho do homem. ¹⁴ E como Moisés levantou a serpente no deserto, assim importa que o Filho do homem seja levantado; ¹⁵ para que todo aquele que nele crê tenha a vida eterna. ¹⁶ Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigénito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna. ¹⁷ Porque Deus enviou o seu Filho ao mundo, não para que julgasse o mundo, mas para que o mundo fosse salvo por ele. ¹⁸ Quem crê nele não é julgado; mas quem não crê, já está julgado; porquanto não crê no nome do unigénito Filho de Deus. ¹⁹ E o julgamento é este: A luz veio ao mundo, e os homens amaram antes as trevas que a luz, porque as suas obras eram más. ²⁰ Porque todo aquele que faz o mal aborrece a luz, e não vem para a luz, para que as suas obras não sejam reprovadas. ²¹ Mas quem pratica a verdade vem para a luz, a fim de que seja manifesto que as suas obras são feitas em Deus. ²² Depois disto foi Jesus com seus discípulos para a terra da Judeia, onde se demorou com eles e baptizava. ²³ Ora, João também estava baptizando-os em Enon, perto de Salim, porque havia ali muitas águas; e o povo ia e se baptizava. ²⁴ Pois João ainda não fora lançado no cárcere. ²⁵ Surgiu então uma contenda entre os discípulos de João e um judeu acerca da purificação. ²⁶ E foram ter com João e disseram-lhe: Rabi, aquele que estava contigo além do Jordão, do qual tens dado testemunho, eis que está baptizando-os, e todos vão ter com ele. ²⁷ Respondeu João: O homem não pode receber coisa alguma, se não lhe for dada do céu. ²⁸ Vós mesmos me sois testemunhas de que eu disse: Não sou o Cristo, mas sou enviado adiante dele. ²⁹ Aquele que tem a noiva é o noivo; mas o amigo do noivo, que está presente e o ouve, regozija-se muito com a voz do noivo. Assim, pois, este meu gozo está completo. ³⁰ É necessário que ele cresça e que eu diminua. ³¹ Aquele que vem de cima é sobre todos; aquele que vem da terra é da terra, e fala da terra. Aquele que vem do céu é sobre todos. ³² Aquilo que ele tem visto e ouvido, isso testifica; e ninguém aceita o seu testemunho. ³³ Mas o que aceitar o seu testemunho, esse confirma que Deus é verdadeiro. ³⁴ Pois aquele que Deus enviou fala as palavras de Deus; porque Deus não dá o Espírito por medida. ³⁵ O Pai ama ao Filho, e todas as coisas entregou nas suas mãos. ³⁶ Quem crê no Filho tem a vida eterna; o que, porém, desobedece ao Filho não verá a vida, mas sobre ele permanece a ira de Deus.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og det var en mann av fariseerne som hette Nikodemus, en av jødenes rådsherrer; ² han kom til ham om natten og sa til ham: Rabbi! vi vet at du er en lærer kommet fra Gud; for ingen kan gjøre disse tegn som du gjør, uten at Gud er med ham. ³ Jesus svarte og sa til ham: Sannelig, sannelig sier jeg dig: Uten at nogen blir født på ny, kan han ikke se Guds rike. ⁴ Nikodemus sier til ham: Hvorledes kan et menneske fødes når han er gammel? kan han vel annen gang komme inn i sin mors liv og fødes? ⁵ Jesus svarte: Sannelig, sannelig sier jeg dig: Uten at nogen blir født av vann og Ånd, kan han ikke komme inn i Guds rike. ⁶ Det som er født av kjødet, er kjød, og det som er født av Ånden, er ånd. ⁷ Undre dig ikke over at jeg sa til dig: I må fødes på ny! ⁸ Vinden blåser dit den vil, og du hører den suser; men du vet ikke hvor den kommer fra, og hvor den farer hen; således er det med hver den som er født av Ånden. ⁹ Nikodemus svarte og sa til ham: Hvorledes kan dette skje? ¹⁰ Jesus svarte og sa til ham: Du er Israels lærer, og vet ikke dette? ¹¹ Sannelig, sannelig sier jeg dig: Vi taler det vi vet, og vi vidner det vi har sett, og I tar ikke imot vårt vidnesbyrd. ¹² Når jeg har sagt eder de jordiske ting, og I ikke tror, hvorledes skal I da tro om jeg sier eder de himmelske? ¹³ Og dog er ingen steget op til himmelen uten han som er steget ned fra himmelen, Menneskesønnen, som er i himmelen. ¹⁴ Og likesom Moses ophøiet slangen i ørkenen, således skal Menneskesønnen ophøies, ¹⁵ forat hver den som tror på ham, skal ha evig liv. ¹⁶ For så har Gud elsket verden at han gav sin Sønn, den enbårne, forat hver den som tror på ham, ikke skal fortapes, men ha evig liv; ¹⁷ for Gud sendte ikke sin Sønn til verden for å dømme verden, men forat verden skulde bli frelst ved ham. ¹⁸ Den som tror på ham, blir ikke dømt; den som ikke tror, er allerede dømt, fordi han ikke har trodd på Guds enbårne Sønns navn. ¹⁹ Og dette er dommen, at lyset er kommet til verden, og menneskene elsket mørket fremfor lyset; for deres gjerninger var onde. ²⁰ For hver den som gjør ondt, hater lyset og kommer ikke til lyset, forat hans gjerninger ikke skal bli refset; ²¹ men den som gjør sannheten, han kommer til lyset, forat hans gjerninger må bli åpenbaret; for de er gjort i Gud. ²² Derefter kom Jesus og hans disipler til Judea, og han blev der sammen med dem og døpte. ²³ Men også Johannes døpte, i Ænon, nær ved Salim, fordi det var meget vann der, og folk kom dit og lot sig døpe; ²⁴ for Johannes var enda ikke kastet i fengsel. ²⁵ Det blev nu en trette mellem Johannes' disipler og en jøde om renselsen, ²⁶ og de kom til Johannes og sa til ham: Rabbi! han som var hos dig på hin side Jordan, han som du har gitt vidnesbyrd, se, han døper, og alle kommer til ham! ²⁷ Johannes svarte og sa: Et menneske kan ikke få noget uten at det er gitt ham fra himmelen. ²⁸ I er selv mine vidner at jeg sa: Jeg er ikke Messias, men: Jeg er utsendt foran ham. ²⁹ Den som har bruden, han er brudgom; men brudgommens venn, som står og hører på ham, gleder sig storlig over brudgommens røst. Denne min glede er nu blitt fullkommen. ³⁰ Han skal vokse, jeg skal avta. ³¹ Han som kommer ovenfra, er over alle; den som er av jorden, er av jorden og taler av jorden. Han som kommer fra himmelen, er over alle; ³² det han har sett og hørt, det vidner han, og ingen tar imot hans vidnesbyrd; ³³ den som har tatt imot hans vidnesbyrd, han har stadfestet at Gud er sanndru. ³⁴ For han som Gud har utsendt, taler Guds ord; for Gud gir ikke Ånden efter mål. ³⁵ Faderen elsker Sønnen, og alt har han gitt i hans hånd. ³⁶ Den som tror på Sønnen, har evig liv; men den som ikke vil tro på Sønnen, skal ikke se livet, men Guds vrede blir over ham.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Între Farisei era un om cu numele Nicodim, un fruntaş al Iudeilor. ² Acesta a venit la Isus, noaptea, şi I -a zis:,,Învăţătorule, ştim că eşti un Învăţător, venit dela Dumnezeu; căci nimeni nu poate face semnele pe cari le faci Tu, dacă nu este Dumnezeu cu el.`` ³ Drept răspuns, Isus i -a zis:,,Adevărat, adevărat îţi spun că, dacă un om nu se naşte din nou, nu poate vedea Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu.`` ⁴ Nicodim I -a zis:,,Cum se poate naşte un om bătrîn? Poate el să intre a doua oară în pîntecele maicii sale, şi să se nască?`` ⁵ Isus i -a răspuns:,,Adevărat, adevărat îţi spun, că, dacă nu se naşte cineva din apă şi din Duh, nu poate să intre în Împărăţia lui Dumnezeu. ⁶ Ce este născut din carne, este carne, şi ce este născut din Duh, este duh. ⁷ Nu te mira că ţi-am zis:,,Trebuie să vă naşteţi din nou. ⁸ Vîntul suflă încotro vrea, şi -i auzi vuietul; dar nu ştii de unde vine, nici încotro merge. Tot aşa este cu oricine este născut din Duhul.`` ⁹ Nicodim I -a zis:,,Cum se poate face aşa ceva?`` ¹⁰ Isus I -a răspuns:,,Tu eşti învăţătorul lui Israel, şi nu pricepi aceste lucruri? ¹¹ Adevărat, adevărat îţi spun, că noi vorbim ce ştim, şi mărturisim ce am văzut; şi voi nu primiţi mărturia noastră. ¹² Dacă v'am vorbit despre lucruri pămînteşti şi nu credeţi, cum veţi crede cînd vă voi vorbi despre lucrurile cereşti? ¹³ Nimeni nu s'a suit în cer, afară de Cel ce S'a pogorît din cer, adică Fiul omului, care este în cer. ¹⁴ Şi, după cum a înălţat Moise şarpele în pustie, tot aşa trebuie să fie înălţat şi Fiul omului, ¹⁵ pentruca oricine crede în El să nu piară, ci să aibă viaţa vecinică. ¹⁶ Fiindcă atît de mult a iubit Dumnezeu lumea, că a dat pe singurul Lui Fiu, pentruca oricine crede în El, să nu piară, ci să aibă viaţa vecinică. ¹⁷ Dumnezeu, în adevăr, n'a trimes pe Fiul Său în lume ca să judece lumea, ci ca lumea să fie mîntuită prin El. ¹⁸ Oricine crede în El, nu este judecat; dar cine nu crede, a şi fost judecat, pentrucă n'a crezut în Numele singurului Fiu al lui Dumnezeu. ¹⁹ Şi judecata aceasta stă în faptul că, odată venită Lumina în lume, oamenii au iubit mai mult întunerecul decît lumina, pentrucă faptele lor erau rele. ²⁰ Căci oricine face răul, urăşte lumina, şi nu vine la lumină, ca să nu i se vădească faptele. ²¹ Dar cine lucrează după adevăr, vine la lumină, pentruca să i se arate faptele, fiindcă sînt făcute în Dumnezeu.`` ²² După aceea Isus, şi ucenicii Lui, a venit în ţinutul Iudeii; şi stătea acolo cu ei şi boteza. ²³ Ioan boteza şi el în Enon, aproape de Salim, pentrucă acolo erau multe ape; şi oamenii veneau ca să fie botezaţi. ²⁴ Căci Ioan încă nu fusese aruncat în temniţă. ²⁵ Între ucenicii lui Ioan şi între un Iudeu, s'a iscat o neînţelegere cu privire la curăţire. ²⁶ Au venit deci la Ioan şi i-au zis:,,Învăţătorule, Celce era cu tine dincolo de Iordan, şi despre care ai mărturisit tu, iată că botează, şi toţi oameni se duc la El.`` ²⁷ Drept răspuns, Ioan i -a zis:,,Omul nu poate primi decît ce -i este dat din cer. ²⁸ Voi înşivă îmi sînteţi martori că am zis:,,Nu sînt eu Hristosul, ci sînt trimes înaintea Lui. ²⁹ Cine are mireasă, este mire; dar prietenul mirelui, care stă şi -l ascultă, se bucură foarte mult cînd aude glasul mirelui: şi această bucurie, care este a mea, este deplină. ³⁰ Trebuie ca El să crească, iar eu să mă micşorez. ³¹ Celce vine din cer, este mai pe sus de toţi; celce este depe pămînt, este pămîntesc, şi vorbeşte ca de pe pămînt. Celce vine din cer, este mai pe sus de toţi. ³² El mărturiseşte ce a văzut şi a auzit, şi totuş nimeni nu primeşte mărturia Lui. ³³ Cine primeşte mărturia Lui, adevereşte prin aceasta că Dumnezeu spune adevărul. ³⁴ Căci Acela, pe care L -a trimes Dumnezeu, vorbeşte cuvintele lui Dumnezeu, pentrucă Dumnezeu nu -I dă Duhul cu măsură. ³⁵ Tatăl iubeşte pe Fiul, şi a dat toate lucrurile în mîna Lui. ³⁶ Cine crede în Fiul, are viaţa vecinică; dar cine nu crede în Fiul, nu va vedea viaţa, ci mînia lui Dumnezeu rămîne peste el.``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Був один чоловік із фарисеїв Никодим на ім'я, начальник юдейський. ² Він до Нього прийшов уночі, та й промовив Йому: Учителю, знаємо ми, що прийшов Ти від Бога, як Учитель, бо не може ніхто таких чуд учинити, які чиниш Ти, коли Бог із ним не буде. ³ Ісус відповів і до нього сказав: Поправді, поправді кажу Я тобі: Коли хто не народиться згори, то не може побачити Божого Царства. ⁴ Никодим Йому каже: Як може людина родитися, бувши старою? Хіба може вона ввійти до утроби своїй матері знову й родитись? ⁵ Ісус відповів: Поправді, поправді кажу Я тобі: Коли хто не родиться з води й Духа, той не може ввійти в Царство Боже. ⁶ Що вродилося з тіла є тіло, що ж уродилося з Духа є дух. ⁷ Не дивуйся тому, що сказав Я тобі: Вам необхідно родитись згори. ⁸ Дух дихає, де хоче, і його голос ти чуєш, та не відаєш, звідкіля він приходить, і куди він іде. Так буває і з кожним, хто від Духа народжений. ⁹ Відповів Никодим і до Нього сказав: Як це статися може? ¹⁰ Ісус відповів і до нього сказав: Ти учитель ізраїльський, то чи ж цього не знаєш? ¹¹ Поправді, поправді кажу Я тобі: Ми говоримо те, що ми знаємо, а свідчимо про те, що ми бачили, але свідчення нашого ви не приймаєте. ¹² Коли Я говорив вам про земне, та не вірите ви, то як же повірите ви, коли Я говоритиму вам про небесне? ¹³ І не сходив на небо ніхто, тільки Той, Хто з неба зійшов, Людський Син, що на небі. ¹⁴ І, як Мойсей підніс змія в пустині, так мусить піднесений бути й Син Людський, ¹⁵ щоб кожен, хто вірує в Нього, мав вічне життя. ¹⁶ Так бо Бог полюбив світ, що дав Сина Свого Однородженого, щоб кожен, хто вірує в Нього, не згинув, але мав життя вічне. ¹⁷ Бо Бог не послав Свого Сина на світ, щоб Він світ засудив, але щоб через Нього світ спасся. ¹⁸ Хто вірує в Нього, не буде засуджений; хто ж не вірує, той вже засуджений, що не повірив в Ім'я Однородженого Сина Божого. ¹⁹ Суд же такий, що світло на світ прибуло, люди ж темряву більш полюбили, як світло, лихі бо були їхні вчинки! ²⁰ Бо кожен, хто робить лихе, ненавидить світло, і не приходить до світла, щоб не зганено вчинків його. ²¹ А хто робить за правдою, той до світла йде, щоб діла його виявились, бо зроблені в Бозі вони. ²² По цьому прийшов Ісус та учні Його до країни Юдейської, і з ними Він там проживав та христив. ²³ А Іван теж христив в Еноні поблизу Салиму, бо було там багато води; і приходили люди й христились, ²⁴ бо Іван до в'язниці не був ще посаджений. ²⁵ І зчинилось змагання Іванових учнів з юдеями про очищення. ²⁶ І прийшли до Івана вони та й сказали йому: Учителю, Той, Хто був із тобою по той бік Йордану, про Якого ти свідчив, ото христить і Він, і до Нього всі йдуть. ²⁷ Іван відповів і сказав: Людина нічого приймати не може, як їй з неба не дасться. ²⁸ Ви самі мені свідчите, що я говорив: я не Христос, але посланий я перед Ним. ²⁹ Хто має заручену, той молодий. А дружко молодого, що стоїть і його слухає, дуже тішиться з голосу молодого. Така радість моя оце здійснилась! ³⁰ Він має рости, я ж маліти. ³¹ Хто зверху приходить, Той над усіма. Хто походить із землі, то той земний, і говорить поземному. Хто приходить із неба, Той над усіма, ³² і що бачив і чув, те Він свідчить, та свідоцтва Його не приймає ніхто. ³³ Хто ж прийняв свідоцтво Його, той ствердив тим, що Бог правдивий. ³⁴ Бо Кого Бог послав, Той Божі слова промовляє, бо Духа дає Бог без міри. ³⁵ Отець любить Сина, і дав усе в Його руку. ³⁶ Хто вірує в Сина, той має вічне життя; а хто в Сина не вірує, той життя не побачить а гнів Божий на нім перебуває.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Був же чоловік з Фарисеїв, Никодим імя йому, князь Жидівський. ² Сей прийшов до Ісуса в ночі, і каже Йому: Рави, знаємо, що від Бога прийшов єси учителем; нїхто бо таких ознак не може робити, як Ти робиш, коли не буде Бог з ним. ³ Озвавсь Ісус і рече йому: Істино, істино глаголю тобі: Коли хто не народить ся звиш, не може видїти царства Божого. ⁴ Каже до Него Никодим: Як же може чоловік народитись, старим бувши? хиба може в утробу матери своєї знов увійти, і родитись? ⁵ Озвавсь Ісус: Істино, істино глаголю тобі: Коли хто не родить ся од води й Духа, не може ввійти в царство Боже. ⁶ Роджене від тїла - тїло, а роджене від Духа - дух. ⁷ Не дивуй ся, що глаголав тобі: Мусите ви народити ся звиш. ⁸ Дух, де хоче, дише, й голос його чуєш, та не знаєш, звідкіля виходить, і куди йде; так усякий народжений од Духа. ⁹ Озвавсь Никодим і каже Йому: Як може се статись: ¹⁰ Відказав Ісус і рече йому: Ти єси учитель Ізраїлїв, і сього не знаєш? ¹¹ Істино, істино глаголю тобі: Що те, що знаємо, говоримо, й що бачили, сьвідкувмо; а сьвідкування нашого не приймаєте. ¹² Коли про земне глаголав вам, і не віруєте,- як же, коли скажу вам про небесне, увіруєте? ¹³ І нїхто не зійшов на небо, тільки хто з неба зійшов, Син чоловічий, що на небі. ¹⁴ І, як Мойсей підняв угору гадюку в пустині, так мусить бути піднятий і Син чоловічий, ¹⁵ щоб кожний віруючий в Него не погиб, а мав життє вічне. ¹⁶ Так бо полюбив Бог сьвіт, що Сина свого єдинородного дав, щоб кожен, віруючий в Него, не погиб, а мав життє вічне. ¹⁷ Бо не післав Бог Сина свого на сьвіт, щоб осудив сьвіт, а щоб спас ся Ним сьвіт. ¹⁸ Хто вірує в Него, не осудить ся; хто ж не вірує, уже осуджений; бо не вірував у ймя єдинородного Сина Божого. ¹⁹ Сей же єсть суд, що сьвітло прийшло на сьвіт, а полюбили люде темряву більше нїж сьвітло; були бо лихі їх учинки. ²⁰ Кожен бо, хто чинить лихе, ненавидить сьвітло, й не йде до сьвітла щоб не зганено вчинків його. ²¹ Хто ж робить правду, йде до сьвітла, щоб виявились його вчинки бо в Бозї роблені. ²² Після сього пійшов Ісус і ученики Його в Юдейську землю; і там пробував з ними, й хрестив. ²³ Хрестив же й Йоан у Єноні поблизу Салима, бо води було там багато; й приходили, й хрестились. ²⁴ Ще бо не вкинуто в темницю Йоана. ²⁵ Постало ж змаганнє в учеників Йоанових з Жидами про очишеннє. ²⁶ І прийшли вони до Йоана, й казали йому: Рави, той що був з тобою за Йорданом, котрому сьвідкував єси, ось сей хрестить і всї йдуть до Него. ²⁷ Озвавсь Йоан і рече: Не може чоловік прийняти нічого, коли не буде дано йому з неба. ²⁸ Самі ви менї сьвідкуєте, що я казав: Я не Христос, а що я посланий перед Ним. ²⁹ Хто має заручену, той жених; а друг жениха, стоячи й слухаючи його, радощами радуєть ся голосу жениха; ся оце радість моя сповнилась. ³⁰ Той мусить рости, я ж малїти. ³¹ Хто звиш гряде, той. над усїма; хто від землї, той від землї, і від землї говорить; хто з неба гряде, той над усїма. ³² І що бачив і чув, про те й сьвідкує; і сьвідкування Його нїхто не приймає. ³³ Хто прийняв сьвідкуваннє Його, той ствердив, що Бог правдивий. ³⁴ Кого бо післав Бог, той слова Божі говорить; бо не мірою дає Бог Духа. ³⁵ Отець любить Сина, і все дав у руки Йому. ³⁶ Хто вірує в Сина, той має вічне життє; а хто не вірує Синові, не бачити ме життя, а гнів Божий пробував на йому.
