John 3:1
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
John 3:2
The same came to Jesus by night, and said to 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.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:4
Nicodemus saith to 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?
John 3:5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born of water, and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:6
That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:8
The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John 3:9
Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
John 3:10
Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
John 3:11
Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.
John 3:12
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
John 3:13
And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man who is in heaven.
John 3:14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
John 3:15
That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved.
John 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.
John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21
But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:22
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
John 3:23
And John also was baptizing in Enon, near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
John 3:24
For John was not yet cast into prison.
John 3:25
Then there arose a question between [some] of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying.
John 3:26
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony, behold, the same baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.
John 3:27
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
John 3:28
Ye yourselves bear me testimony, that I said I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
John 3:29
He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
John 3:30
He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
John 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.
John 3:32
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
John 3:33
He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.
John 3:34
For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for [to him] God giveth not the Spirit by measure.
John 3:35
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
John 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.
