John Chapter 3 (KJV)
undefined
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
undefined
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.
undefined
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.
undefined
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?
undefined
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.
undefined
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
undefined
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
undefined
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.
undefined
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
undefined
Jesus answered and said unto him,Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
undefined
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
undefined
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
undefined
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
undefined
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
undefined
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
undefined
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.
undefined
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
undefined
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.
undefined
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
undefined
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
undefined
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
undefined
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
undefined
And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
undefined
For John was not yet cast into prison.
undefined
Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
undefined
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.
undefined
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
undefined
Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
undefined
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.
undefined
He must increase, but I must decrease.
undefined
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.
undefined
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
undefined
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
undefined
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
undefined
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
undefined
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.
