- There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
- The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto 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.
- Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
- Nicodemus saith 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?
- Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
|
- Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
- this man came to Jesus 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."
- Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
- Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"
- Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
|
- That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
- Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
- The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
- Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
- Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
|
- "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
- "Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
- "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
- Nicodemus said to Him, "How can these things be?"
- Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?
|
- Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
- If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
- And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
- And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
- That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
|
- "Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.
- "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
- "No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
- "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
- so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.
|
- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
- 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.
- And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
- For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
|
- "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
- "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
- "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.
- "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
- "For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
|
- But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
|
- "But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."
