John Chapter 3

3^:1And there-was (a) man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus name to-him, (a) ruler of-the Jews. ² This-one came to-him during–(the)-night, and said to-him, “Rabbi, we-know that you-have-come (as a) teacher from God, for nobody is-able to-do these [the] signs that you are-doing unless² [the] God is with him.”

 ³ Jesus answered and said to-him, “Truly, truly, I-tell you, unless² somebody is-born from-above/again, he-is┘not└able to-see the kingdom of-[the] God.

⁴ [The] Nicodemus says to him, “How is┘(a) man└able to-be-born being (an) old-man? He-is┘not^┘┘└able to-enter into the womb of-the mother of-him a-second-time and be-born, ^└└is-he?”

⁵ Jesus answered,

“Truly, truly, I-tell you, unless² (a)-person is-born from water and spirit, he-is┘not└able to enter into the kingdom of-[the] God. ⁶ The-thing born out-of the flesh is flesh, and the-thing born out-of the spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do┘not└marvel that I-said to-you, ‘It-is-necessary for you^pl to-be-born again.’ ⁸ The wind blows wherever it-wants, and you^sg hear the sound of-it, but you-do┘not└know whence it-comes or where it-goes. Thus is every the-one born of the spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to-him, “How are┘these-things└able to-happen?”

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to-him,

“You are [the]/a teacher of-[the] Israel, and do┘not└know these-things? ¹¹ Truly, truly, I-tell you that we-are-talking-about what we-know, and we-are-testifying-about what we-have-seen, and you-are┘not└receiving the testimony of-us. ¹² If I-told you^pl [the] earthly-things and you^pl-do┘not└believe, how will-you-believe if I-tell you [the] heavenly-things? ¹³ And nobody has-ascended into [the] heaven except² the-one having-descended out-of [the] heaven, the Son of-[the] Man. ¹⁴ And even-as Moses lifted-up the snake in the wilderness, so it-is-necessary for-the Son of-[the] Man to-be-lifted-up, ¹⁵ in-order-that everybody [the] believing in him may-have eternal life.   

^{16 “}For [the] God so/so-much loved the world that he-gave the only-begotten [the] Son, in-order-that everybody the-one believing in him may┘not└be-destroyed, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For [the] God did┘not└send the Son into the world in-order-that he-might-condemn the world, but in-order-that the world might-be-saved through him. ¹⁸ The-one believing in him is┘not└condemned, but the-one not believing has-condemned-himself/has-been condemned already, because he-has┘not└believed in the name of-the only-begotten Son of-[the] God. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation: [that] [the] light has-come into the world, and [the] men loved [the] darkness rather than [the] light for the deeds of-them were evil. ²⁰ For everybody [the-one] doing vile-things hates [the] light and does┘not└come to the light lest² the deeds of-him may-be-reproved. ²¹ But the-one doing the truth comes to the light in-order-that the deeds of-him may-be-made-manifest that/because they-are worked in God.”

²² After these-things [the] Jesus and the disciples of-him went into the Judaea land, and he-was-staying there with them and was-baptizing. ²³ And [the] John was baptizing in/at Aenon near [the] Salem because much water/many waters were there, and they-were-coming and being-baptized. ²⁴ For [the] John was not yet cast into [the] prison. ²⁵ Then (a) controversy arose from the disciples of-John with (a) Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they-came to [the] John and said to-him, “Teacher, who was with you beyond the Jordan, to-whom you have-borne-testimony—behold, this-One is-baptizing and all are-coming to him.”

²⁷ John answered and said,

“(A) man is┘not└able to-receive even one-thing unless² it-has-been given² to-him from [the] heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves testify to-me that I-said [that], ‘I am not the Messiah,’ but [that] ‘I-have-been-sent² before him.’ ²⁹ The-one having the bride is the groom; and friend of-the groom the-one having-stood and hearing him rejoices with-joy/greatly rejoices. ³⁰ It-is-necessary-for him to-increase, and me to-decrease. ³¹ The-one coming from above is above all-things/people; the-one being from the earth is of the earth and speaks from the earth, but the-one coming from [the] heaven [is above all-things/people]^ms. ³² What he-has-seen and heard—this he testifies and nobody receives the testimony of-him. ³³ The-one having-received the testimony of-him marked-with-a-seal that [the] God is true. ³⁴ For whom [the] God sent speaks the words of-[the] God, for he-does┘not└give the spirit in/with measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has-put all-things in the hand of-him. ³⁶ The-one believing in the Son has eternal life; but the-one disbelieving the Son will┘not└see life, but the wrath of-[the] God remains on him.”
