3Now there was a man from the Pharisees, a leader of the Jews, whose name was Nicodemus.G1161G2258G444G1537G5330G3686G846G3530G758G24532He came to Jesus at night and said to 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."G3778G2064G4314G2424G3571G2532G2036G846G4461G1492G3754G2064G1320G2064G575G2316G1063G3762G1410G4160G5023G4592G3739G4771G4160G3362G2316G5600G3326G8463Jesus replied to him, "Truly, I tell you with certainty, unless a person is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G509G1410G3756G1492G932G23164Nicodemus 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?"G3530G3004G4314G846G4459G1410G444G1080G5607G1088G3361G1410G1525G1208G1519G846G3384G2836G2532G10805Jesus answered, "Truly, I tell you with certainty, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.G2424G611G281G281G3004G4671G3362G5100G1080G1537G5204G2532G4151G3756G1410G1525G1519G932G23166What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.G1080G1537G4561G2076G4561G2532G1080G1537G4151G2076G41517Don't be astonished that I said to you, 'All of you must be born from above.'G2296G3361G3754G2036G4671G5209G1163G1080G5098The 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."G4151G4154G3699G2309G2532G191G5456G846G235G1492G3756G1492G4159G2064G2532G4226G5217G3779G2076G3956G1080G1537G41519Nicodemus asked him, "How can that be?"G3530G611G2532G2036G846G4459G1410G5023G109610Jesus answered him, "You're a teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this -G2424G611G2532G2036G846G1488G4771G1320G2474G2532G1097G3756G502311Truly, I tell you with certainty, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you people do not accept our testimony.G281G281G3004G4671G2980G3754G3739G1492G2532G3140G3739G3708G2532G2983G3756G2257G314112If I have told you people about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things -G1487G2036G5213G1919G2532G4100G3756G4459G4100G1437G2036G5213G203213"No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven.G2532G3762G305G1519G3772G1508G2597G1537G3772G5207G444G3588G5607G1722G377214Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,G2532G2531G3475G5312G3789G1722G2048G3779G1163G5207G444G531215so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.G3363G3956G4100G1519G846G622G3363G622G235G2192G166G222216"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.G1063G2316G3779G25G2889G5620G1325G846G3439G5207G2443G3956G4100G1519G846G622G3361G622G235G2192G166G222217Because God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.G1063G2316G649G3756G846G5207G1519G2889G2443G2919G2889G235G2443G2889G1223G846G498218Whoever 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.G4100G1519G846G2919G3756G2919G1161G4100G3361G2919G2235G3754G4100G3361G4100G1519G3686G3439G5207G231619And 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.G1161G3778G2076G2920G3754G5457G2064G1519G2889G2532G444G25G4655G3123G2228G5457G1063G846G2041G2258G419020Everyone who practices wickedness hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his actions may not be exposed.G1063G3956G4238G5337G3404G5457G2532G3756G2064G4314G5457G3363G846G2041G165121But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may become evident that his actions have God's approval."20G1161G4160G225G2064G4314G5457G2443G846G2041G5319G3754G2076G2038G1722G231622After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside. He spent some time there with them and began baptizing.G3326G5023G2064G2424G2532G846G3101G1519G1093G2449G2532G1563G1304G3326G846G2532G90723John was also baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People kept coming and were being baptized,G1161G2491G2532G2258G907G1722G137G1451G4530G3754G2258G4183G5204G1563G2532G3854G2532G90724since John had not yet been thrown into prison.G1063G2491G2258G3768G906G1519G543825Then a controversy about ritual purification sprang up between a certain Jew and John's disciples,G3767G1096G2214G3326G1537G2491G3101G2453G4012G251226so 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!"G2532G2064G4314G2491G2532G2036G846G4461G3739G2258G3326G4675G4008G2446G3739G4771G3140G2396G3778G907G2532G3956G2064G4314G84627John replied, "No one can receive anything unless it has been given to them from heaven.G2491G611G2532G2036G444G1410G3756G2983G3762G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G377228You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him.'G5210G846G3140G3427G3140G3754G2036G1473G1510G3756G5547G235G3754G1510G649G1715G156529It 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.G2192G3565G2076G3566G1161G5384G3566G3588G2476G2532G191G846G5463G5479G1223G3566G5456G3778G1699G5479G3767G413730He must become more important, but I must become less important."3G1565G1163G837G1161G1691G164231The 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.G2064G509G2076G1883G3956G5607G1537G1093G2076G1537G1093G2532G2980G1537G1093G2064G1537G3772G2076G1883G395632He testifies about what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony.G2532G3739G3708G2532G191G5124G3140G2532G3762G2983G846G314133The person who has accepted his testimony has acknowledged that God is truthful.G2983G846G3141G4972G3754G2316G2076G22734The one whom God sent speaks the words of God, because God does not give the Spirit in limited measure to him.G1063G3739G2316G649G2980G4487G2316G1063G2316G1325G3756G4151G1537G335835The Father loves the Son and has put everything in his hands.G3962G25G5207G2532G1325G3956G1722G846G549536The 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.G4100G1519G5207G2192G166G2222G1161G544G5207G3700G3756G3700G2222G235G3709G2316G3306G1909G846
