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 can­not 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 mother'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 can­not 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 Ju­daea; and there he tar­ried with them, and bap­tized. 23 And John also was bap­tiz­ing in Aenon 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 bridegroom'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.
