John 3
3Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.G1161G2258G444G1537G5330G3686G846G3530G758G24532This 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."G3778G2064G4314G2424G3571G2532G2036G846G4461G1492G3754G2064G1320G2064G575G2316G1063G3762G1410G4160G5023G4592G3739G4771G4160G3362G2316G5600G3326G8463Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G509G1410G3756G1492G932G23164Nicodemus 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?"G3530G3004G4314G846G4459G1410G444G1080G5607G1088G3361G1410G1525G1208G1519G846G3384G2836G2532G10805Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.G2424G611G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G1537G5204G2532G4151G3756G1410G1525G1519G932G23166That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.G1080G1537G4561G2076G4561G2532G1080G1537G4151G2076G41517Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'G2296G3361G3754G2036G4671G5209G1163G1080G5098The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."G4151G4154G3699G2309G2532G191G5456G846G235G1492G3756G1492G4159G2064G2532G4226G5217G3779G2076G3956G1080G1537G41519Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?"G3530G611G2532G2036G846G4459G1410G5023G109610Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?G2424G611G2532G2036G846G1488G4771G1320G2474G2532G1097G3756G502311Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony.G281G281G3004G4671G2980G3754G3739G1492G2532G3140G3739G3708G2532G2983G3756G2257G314112If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?G1487G2036G5213G1919G2532G4100G3756G4459G4100G1437G2036G5213G203213No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.G2532G3762G305G1519G3772G1508G2597G1537G3772G5207G444G3588G5607G1722G377214And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,G2532G2531G3475G5312G3789G1722G2048G3779G1163G5207G444G531215that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.G3363G3956G4100G1519G846G622G3363G622G235G2192G166G222216"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.G1063G2316G3779G25G2889G5620G1325G846G3439G5207G2443G3956G4100G1519G846G622G3361G622G235G2192G166G222217For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.G1063G2316G649G3756G846G5207G1519G2889G2443G2919G2889G235G2443G2889G1223G846G498218Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.G4100G1519G846G2919G3756G2919G1161G4100G3361G2919G2235G3754G4100G3361G4100G1519G3686G3439G5207G231619And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.G1161G3778G2076G2920G3754G5457G2064G1519G2889G2532G444G25G4655G3123G2228G5457G1063G846G2041G2258G419020For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.G1063G3956G4238G5337G3404G5457G2532G3756G2064G4314G5457G3363G846G2041G165121But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."G1161G4160G225G2064G4314G5457G2443G846G2041G5319G3754G2076G2038G1722G231622After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing.G3326G5023G2064G2424G2532G846G3101G1519G1093G2449G2532G1563G1304G3326G846G2532G90723John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptizedG1161G2491G2532G2258G907G1722G137G1451G4530G3754G2258G4183G5204G1563G2532G3854G2532G90724(for John had not yet been put in prison).G1063G2491G2258G3768G906G1519G543825Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purification.G3767G1096G2214G3326G1537G2491G3101G2453G4012G251226And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness—look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him."G2532G2064G4314G2491G2532G2036G846G4461G3739G2258G3326G4675G4008G2446G3739G4771G3140G2396G3778G907G2532G3956G2064G4314G84627John answered, "A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.G2491G611G2532G2036G444G1410G3756G2983G3762G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G377228You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.'G5210G846G3140G3427G3140G3754G2036G1473G1510G3756G5547G235G3754G1510G649G1715G156529The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.G2192G3565G2076G3566G1161G5384G3566G3588G2476G2532G191G846G5463G5479G1223G3566G5456G3778G1699G5479G3767G413730He must increase, but I must decrease."G1565G1163G837G1161G1691G164231He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all.G2064G509G2076G1883G3956G5607G1537G1093G2076G1537G1093G2532G2980G1537G1093G2064G1537G3772G2076G1883G395632He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony.G2532G3739G3708G2532G191G5124G3140G2532G3762G2983G846G314133Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.G2983G846G3141G4972G3754G2316G2076G22734For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure.G1063G3739G2316G649G2980G4487G2316G1063G2316G1325G3756G4151G1537G335835The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.G3962G25G5207G2532G1325G3956G1722G846G549536Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.G4100G1519G5207G2192G166G2222G1161G544G5207G3700G3756G3700G2222G235G3709G2316G3306G1909G846
