John 3

The New Birth

1

Nowg1161 there was a mang444 of the Phariseesg5330, namedg3686  aNicodemusg3530, a  brulerg758 of the Jewsg2453;

2

thisg3778 mang3778 cameg2064 to Jesus by nightg3571 and saidg3004 to Him, " aRabbig4461, we knowg3609a that You have comeg2064 from Godg2316 as a teacherg1320; for nog3762 oneg3762 cang1410 dog4160 theseg3778  1 bsignsg4592 that You dog4160 unlessg1437g3361  cGodg2316 is with him."

3

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to him, "Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, unlessg1437g3361 oneg5100  ais borng1080  1againg509 he cannotg1410g3756 seeg3708  bthe kingdomg932 of Godg2316."

4

Nicodemusg3530 *saidg3004 to Him, "Howg4459 cang1410 a mang444 be borng1080 when he is oldg1088? He cannotg1410g3361 enterg1525 a secondg1208 timeg1208 into his mother'sg3384 wombg2836 and be borng1080, can he?"

5

Jesusg2424 answeredg611, "Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, unlessg1437g3361 oneg5100 is borng1080 of  awaterg5204 and the Spiritg4151 he cannotg1410g3756 enterg1525 into  bthe kingdomg932 of Godg2316.

6

aThat which is borng1080 of the fleshg4561 is fleshg4561, and that which is borng1080 of the Spiritg4151 is spiritg4151.

7

"Do not be amazedg2296 that I saidg3004 to you, `You mustg1163 be borng1080  1againg509.'

8

aThe windg4151 blowsg4154 whereg3699 it wishesg2309 and you hearg191 the soundg5456 of it, but do not knowg3609a whereg4159 it comesg2064 from and whereg4226 it is goingg5217; sog3779 is everyoneg3956 who is borng1080 of the Spiritg4151."

9

Nicodemusg3530 saidg3004 to Him, "Howg4459 cang1410 theseg3778 thingsg3778 be?"

10

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to him, "Are you  athe teacherg1320 of Israelg2474 and do not understandg1097 theseg3778 thingsg3778?

11

"Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you,  awe speakg2980 of whatg3754 we knowg3609a and  btestifyg3140 of whatg3739 we have seeng3708, and  byou do not acceptg2983 our testimonyg3140.

12

"Ifg1487 I toldg3004 you earthlyg1919 thingsg1919 and you do not believeg4100, howg4459 will you believeg4100 ifg1437 I tellg3004 you heavenlyg2032 thingsg2032?

13

aNog3762 oneg3762 has ascendedg305 into heaveng3772, but  bHe who descendedg2597 from heaveng3772:  cthe Song5207 of Mang444.

14

"As  aMosesg3475 liftedg5312 up the serpentg3789 in the wildernessg2048, even sog3779 mustg1163  bthe Song5207 of Mang444  cbe liftedg5312 up;

15

sog2443 that whoeverg3956  1believesg4100 will  ain Him haveg2192 eternalg166 lifeg2222.

16

"For Godg2316 sog3779  alovedg25 the worldg2889, that He  bgaveg1325 His  1 conlyg3439 begotteng3439 Song5207, that whoeverg3956  dbelievesg4100 in Him shall not perishg622, but haveg2192 eternalg166 lifeg2222.

17

"For Godg2316  adid not sendg649 the Song5207 into the worldg2889  bto judgeg2919 the worldg2889, but that the worldg2889 might be savedg4982 throughg1223 Him.

18

aHe who believesg4100 in Him is not judgedg2919; he who does not believeg4100 has been judgedg2919 alreadyg2235, becauseg3754 he has not believedg4100 in the nameg3686 of  bthe  1onlyg3439 begotteng3439 Song5207 of Godg2316.

19

"Thisg3778 is the judgmentg2920, that  athe Lightg5457 has comeg2064 into the worldg2889, and meng444 lovedg25 the darknessg4655 ratherg3123 thang2228 the Lightg5457, for  btheir deedsg2041 were evilg4190.

20

aFor everyoneg3956 who doesg4238 evilg5337 hatesg3404 the Lightg5457, and does not comeg2064 to the Lightg5457 for fearg2443g3361 that his deedsg2041 will be exposedg1651.

21

"But he who  apracticesg4160 the truthg225 comesg2064 to the Lightg5457, sog2443 that his deedsg2041 may be manifestedg5319 as having beeng1510 wroughtg2038b in Godg2316."

John's Last Testimony

22

Afterg3326 theseg3778 thingsg3778 Jesusg2424 and His  adisciplesg3101 cameg2064 into the landg1093 of Judeag2453, and thereg1563 He was spendingg1304 timeg1304 with them and  bbaptizingg907.

23

Johng2491 alsog2532 was baptizingg907 in Aenong137 nearg1451 Salimg4530, becauseg3754 there was muchg4183 waterg5204 thereg1563; and people were comingg3854 and were being baptizedg907--

24

for  aJohng2491 had not yetg3768 beeng1510 throwng906 into prisong5438.

25

Thereforeg3767 thereg1096 aroseg1096 a discussiong2214 on the part of John'sg2491 disciplesg3101 with a Jewg2453 aboutg4012  apurificationg2512.

26

And they cameg2064 to Johng2491 and saidg3004 to him, " aRabbig4461, He whog3739 was with you  bbeyondg4008 the Jordang2446, to whomg3739 you  chave testifiedg3140, beholdg2396, He is baptizingg907 and allg3956 are comingg2064 to Him."

27

Johng2491 answeredg611 and saidg3004, " aA mang444 cang1410 receiveg2983 nothingg3756g3762 unlessg1437g3361 it  bhas beeng1510 giveng1325 him from heaveng3772.

28

"You yourselvesg846  1are my witnessesg3140 that I saidg3004, ` aI amg1510 not the  2Christg5547,' but, `I have beeng1510 sentg649 aheadg1715 of Him.'

29

"He who hasg2192 the brideg3565 is  athe bridegroomg3566; but the friendg5384 of the bridegroomg3566, who standsg2476 and hearsg191 him, rejoicesg5463 greatlyg5479 becauseg1223 of the bridegroom'sg3566 voiceg5456. Sog3767 thisg3778  bjoyg5479 of mineg1699 has been madeg4137 fullg4137.

30

"He mustg1163 increaseg837, but I must decreaseg1642.

31

aHe who comesg2064 from aboveg509 is aboveg1883 allg3956,  bhe who is of the earthg1093 is from the earthg1093 and speaksg2980 of the earthg1093.  aHe who comesg2064 from heaveng3772 is aboveg1883 allg3956.

32

"Whatg3739 He has seeng3708 and heardg191, of that He  atestifiesg3140; and  anog3762 oneg3762 receivesg2983 His testimonyg3140.

33

"He who has receivedg2983 His testimonyg3141  ahas setg4972 his sealg4972 to this, that Godg2316 is trueg227.

34

"For He whomg3739 Godg2316 has  asentg649 speaksg2980 the wordsg4487 of Godg2316;  1 bfor He givesg1325 the Spiritg4151 withoutg3756g1537 measureg3358.

35

aThe Fatherg3962 lovesg25 the Song5207 and  bhas giveng1325 allg3956 thingsg3956 into His handg5495.

36

"He who  abelievesg4100 in the Song5207 hasg2192 eternalg166 lifeg2222; but he who  bdoes not  1obeyg544 the Song5207 will not seeg3708 lifeg2222, but the wrathg3709 of Godg2316 abidesg3306 on him."
