JOH-3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a

ruler of the Jews:

JOH-3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him,

Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man

can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

JOH-3:3 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.

JOH-3:4 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?

JOH-3:5 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.

JOH-3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which

is born of the Spirit is spirit.

JOH-3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

JOH-3:8 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.

JOH-3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these

things be?

JOH-3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of

Israel, and knowest not these things?

JOH-3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do

know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our

witness.

JOH-3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not,

how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?

JOH-3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came

down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.

JOH-3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,

even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

JOH-3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but

have eternal life.

JOH-3:16 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.

JOH-3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the

world; but that the world through him might be saved.

JOH-3:18 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.

JOH-3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into

the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because

their deeds were evil.

JOH-3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither

cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

JOH-3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his

deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

JOH-3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into

the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

JOH-3:23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim,

because there was much water there: and they came, and were

baptized.

JOH-3:24 For John was not yet cast into prison.

JOH-3:25 Then there arose a question between [some] of John's

disciples and the Jews about purifying.

JOH-3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he

that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness,

behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.

JOH-3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing,

except it be given him from heaven.

JOH-3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not

the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

JOH-3:29 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.

JOH-3:30 He must increase, but I [must] decrease.

JOH-3:31 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.

JOH-3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth;

and no man receiveth his testimony.

JOH-3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his

seal that God is true.

JOH-3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:

for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him].

JOH-3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things

into his hand.

JOH-3:36 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.
