1
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus a ruler of the Jews
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
3
Jesus answered and said unto him Verily verily I say unto thee Except a man be born again he can not see the kingdom of God
4
Nicodemus saith unto him How can a man be born when he is old can he enter the second time into his other’s womb and be born
5
Jesus answered Verily verily I say unto thee Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he can not enter into the kingdom of God
6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit
7
Marvel not that I said unto thee Ye must be born again
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
9
Nicodemus answered and said unto him How can these things be
10
Jesus answered and said unto him Art thou a master of Israel and knowest not these things
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
12
If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things
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
14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up
15
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life
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
17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved
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
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
20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved
21
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God
22
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa and there he tarried with them and baptized
23
And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim because there was much water there and they came and were baptized
24
For John was not yet cast into prison
25
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying
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
27
John answered and said A man can receive nothing except it be given him from heaven
28
Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said I am not the Christ but that I am sent before him
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 bri groom’s voice this my joy therefore is fulfilled
30
He must increase but I must decrease
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
32
And what he hath seen and heard that he testifieth and no man receiveth his testimony
33
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true
34
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him
35
The Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into his hand
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
