3Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.G1161G2258G444G1537G5330G3686G846G3530G758G24532He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God."G3778G2064G4314G2424G3571G2532G2036G846G4461G1492G3754G2064G1320G2064G575G2316G1063G3762G1410G4160G5023G4592G3739G4771G4160G3362G2316G5600G3326G8463Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G509G1410G3756G1492G932G23164Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?"G3530G3004G4314G846G4459G1410G444G1080G5607G1088G3361G1410G1525G1208G1519G846G3384G2836G2532G10805Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.G2424G611G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G1537G5204G2532G4151G3756G1410G1525G1519G932G23166What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.G1080G1537G4561G2076G4561G2532G1080G1537G4151G2076G41517Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.'G2296G3361G3754G2036G4671G5209G1163G1080G5098The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, 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 a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?G2424G611G2532G2036G846G1488G4771G1320G2474G2532G1097G3756G502311"Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony.G281G281G3004G4671G2980G3754G3739G1492G2532G3140G3739G3708G2532G2983G3756G2257G314112If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?G1487G2036G5213G1919G2532G4100G3756G4459G4100G1437G2036G5213G203213No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.G2532G3762G305G1519G3772G1508G2597G1537G3772G5207G444G3588G5607G1722G377214And just 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, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.G1063G2316G3779G25G2889G5620G1325G846G3439G5207G2443G3956G4100G1519G846G622G3361G622G235G2192G166G222217"Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.G1063G2316G649G3756G846G5207G1519G2889G2443G2919G2889G235G2443G2889G1223G846G498218Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.G4100G1519G846G2919G3756G2919G1161G4100G3361G2919G2235G3754G4100G3361G4100G1519G3686G3439G5207G231619And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.G1161G3778G2076G2920G3754G5457G2064G1519G2889G2532G444G25G4655G3123G2228G5457G1063G846G2041G2258G419020For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.G1063G3956G4238G5337G3404G5457G2532G3756G2064G4314G5457G3363G846G2041G165121But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God."G1161G4160G225G2064G4314G5457G2443G846G2041G5319G3754G2076G2038G1722G231622After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he spent some time there with them and baptized.G3326G5023G2064G2424G2532G846G3101G1519G1093G2449G2532G1563G1304G3326G846G2532G90723John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim because water was abundant there; and people kept coming and were being baptizedG1161G2491G2532G2258G907G1722G137G1451G4530G3754G2258G4183G5204G1563G2532G3854G2532G90724—John, of course, had not yet been thrown into prison.G1063G2491G2258G3768G906G1519G543825Now a discussion about purification arose between John's disciples and a Jew.G3767G1096G2214G3326G1537G2491G3101G2453G4012G251226They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing, and all are going to him."G2532G2064G4314G2491G2532G2036G846G4461G3739G2258G3326G4675G4008G2446G3739G4771G3140G2396G3778G907G2532G3956G2064G4314G84627John answered, "No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven.G2491G611G2532G2036G444G1410G3756G2983G3762G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G377228You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.'G5210G846G3140G3427G3140G3754G2036G1473G1510G3756G5547G235G3754G1510G649G1715G156529He who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. For this reason my joy has been fulfilled.G2192G3565G2076G3566G1161G5384G3566G3588G2476G2532G191G846G5463G5479G1223G3566G5456G3778G1699G5479G3767G413730He must increase, but I must decrease."G1565G1163G837G1161G1691G164231The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all.G2064G509G2076G1883G3956G5607G1537G1093G2076G1537G1093G2532G2980G1537G1093G2064G1537G3772G2076G1883G395632He testifies to what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony.G2532G3739G3708G2532G191G5124G3140G2532G3762G2983G846G314133Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified this, that God is true.G2983G846G3141G4972G3754G2316G2076G22734He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure.G1063G3739G2316G649G2980G4487G2316G1063G2316G1325G3756G4151G1537G335835The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands.G3962G25G5207G2532G1325G3956G1722G846G549536Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but must endure God's wrath.G4100G1519G5207G2192G166G2222G1161G544G5207G3700G3756G3700G2222G235G3709G2316G3306G1909G846
