3:1 1161 There was 2258 5713 a man 444 of 1537 the Pharisees 5330, named 3686 846 Nicodemus 3530, a ruler 758 of the Jews 2453:

3:2 The same 3778 came 2064 5627 to 4314 Jesus 2424 by night 3571, and 2532 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Rabbi 4461, we know 1492 5758 that 3754 thou art 2064 0 a teacher 1320 come 2064 5754 from 575 God 2316: for 1063 no man 3762 can 1410 5736 do 4160 5721 these 5023 miracles 4592 that 3739 thou 4771 doest 4160 5719, except 3362 God 2316 be 5600 5753 with 3326 him 846.

3:3 Jesus 2424 answered 611 5662 and 2532 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Verily 281, verily 281, I say 3004 5719 unto thee 4671, Except 3362 a man 5100 be born 1080 5686 again 509, he cannot 1410 5736 3756 see 1492 5629 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.(again: or, from above)

3:4 Nicodemus 3530 saith 3004 5719 unto 4314 him 846, How 4459 can 1410 5736 a man 444 be born 1080 5683 when he is 5607 5752 old 1088? can 3361 1410 5736 he enter 1525 5629 the second time 1208 into 1519 his 846 mother's 3384 womb 2836, and 2532 be born 1080 5683?

3:5 Jesus 2424 answered 611 5662, Verily 281, verily 281, I say 3004 5719 unto thee 4671, Except 3362 a man 5100 be born 1080 5686 of 1537 water 5204 and 2532 [of] the Spirit 4151, he cannot 3756 1410 5736 enter 1525 5629 into 1519 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.

3:6 That which is born 1080 5772 of 1537 the flesh 4561 is 2076 5748 flesh 4561; and 2532 that which is born 1080 5772 of 1537 the Spirit 4151 is 2076 5748 spirit 4151.

3:7 Marvel 2296 5661 not 3361 that 3754 I said 2036 5627 unto thee 4671, Ye 5209 must 1163 5748 be born 1080 5683 again 509.(again: or, from above)

3:8 The wind 4151 bloweth 4154 5719 where 3699 it listeth 2309 5719, and 2532 thou hearest 191 5719 the sound 5456 thereof 846, but 235 canst 1492 0 not 3756 tell 1492 5758 whence 4159 it cometh 2064 5736, and 2532 whither 4226 it goeth 5217 5719: so 3779 is 2076 5748 every one 3956 that is born 1080 5772 of 1537 the Spirit 4151.

3:9 Nicodemus 3530 answered 611 5662 and 2532 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, How 4459 can 1410 5736 these things 5023 be 1096 5635?

3:10 Jesus 2424 answered 611 5662 and 2532 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Art 1488 5748 thou 4771 a master 1320 of Israel 2474, and 2532 knowest 1097 5719 not 3756 these things 5023?

3:11 Verily 281, verily 281, I say 3004 5719 unto thee 4671, We speak 2980 5719 that 3754 3739 we do know 1492 5758, and 2532 testify 3140 5719 that 3739 we have seen 3708 5758; and 2532 ye receive 2983 5719 not 3756 our 2257 witness 3141.

3:12 If 1487 I have told 2036 5627 you 5213 earthly things 1919, and 2532 ye believe 4100 5719 not 3756, how 4459 shall ye believe 4100 5692, if 1437 I tell 2036 5632 you 5213 [of] heavenly things 2032?

3:13 And 2532 no man 3762 hath ascended up 305 5758 to 1519 heaven 3772, but 1508 he that came down 2597 5631 from 1537 heaven 3772, [even] the Son 5207 of man 444 which 3588 is 5607 5752 in 1722 heaven 3772.

3:14 And 2532 as 2531 Moses 3475 lifted up 5312 5656 the serpent 3789 in 1722 the wilderness 2048, even so 3779 must 1163 5748 the Son 5207 of man 444 be lifted up 5312 5683:

3:15 That 3363 0 whosoever 3956 believeth 4100 5723 in 1519 him 846 should 622 0 not 3363 perish 622 5643, but 235 have 2192 5725 eternal 166 life 2222.

3:16 For 1063 God 2316 so 3779 loved 25 5656 the world 2889, that 5620 he gave 1325 5656 his 846 only begotten 3439 Son 5207, that 2443 whosoever 3956 believeth 4100 5723 in 1519 him 846 should 622 0 not 3361 perish 622 5643, but 235 have 2192 5725 everlasting 166 life 2222.

3:17 For 1063 God 2316 sent 649 5656 not 3756 his 846 Son 5207 into 1519 the world 2889 to 2443 condemn 2919 5725 the world 2889; but 235 that 2443 the world 2889 through 1223 him 846 might be saved 4982 5686.

3:18 He that believeth 4100 5723 on 1519 him 846 is 2919 0 not 3756 condemned 2919 5743: but 1161 he that believeth 4100 5723 not 3361 is condemned 2919 5769 already 2235, because 3754 he hath 4100 0 not 3361 believed 4100 5758 in 1519 the name 3686 of the only begotten 3439 Son 5207 of God 2316.

3:19 And 1161 this 3778 is 2076 5748 the condemnation 2920, that 3754 light 5457 is come 2064 5754 into 1519 the world 2889, and 2532 men 444 loved 25 5656 darkness 4655 rather 3123 than 2228 light 5457, because 1063 their 846 deeds 2041 were 2258 5713 evil 4190.

3:20 For 1063 every one 3956 that doeth 4238 5723 evil 5337 hateth 3404 5719 the light 5457, neither 2532 3756 cometh 2064 5736 to 4314 the light 5457, lest 3363 his 846 deeds 2041 should be reproved 1651 5686.(reproved: or, discovered)

3:21 But 1161 he that doeth 4160 5723 truth 225 cometh 2064 5736 to 4314 the light 5457, that 2443 his 846 deeds 2041 may be made manifest 5319 5686, that 3754 they are 2076 5748 wrought 2038 5772 in 1722 God 2316.

3:22 After 3326 these things 5023 came 2064 5627 Jesus 2424 and 2532 his 846 disciples 3101 into 1519 the land 1093 of Judaea 2449; and 2532 there 1563 he tarried 1304 5707 with 3326 them 846, and 2532 baptized 907 5707.

3:23 And 1161 John 2491 also 2532 was 2258 5713 baptizing 907 5723 in 1722 Aenon 137 near 1451 to Salim 4530, because 3754 there was 2258 5713 much 4183 water 5204 there 1563: and 2532 they came 3854 5708, and 2532 were baptized 907 5712.

3:24 For 1063 John 2491 was 2258 5713 not yet 3768 cast 906 5772 into 1519 prison 5438.

3:25 Then 3767 there arose 1096 5633 a question 2214 between 3326 [some] of 1537 John's 2491 disciples 3101 and the Jews 2453 about 4012 purifying 2512.

3:26 And 2532 they came 2064 5627 unto 4314 John 2491, and 2532 said 2036 5627 unto him 846, Rabbi 4461, he 3739 that was 2258 5713 with 3326 thee 4675 beyond 4008 Jordan 2446, to whom 3739 thou 4771 barest witness 3140 5758, behold 2396, the same 3778 baptizeth 907 5719, and 2532 all 3956 [men] come 2064 5736 to 4314 him 846.

3:27 John 2491 answered 611 5662 and 2532 said 2036 5627, A man 444 can 1410 5736 3756 receive 2983 5721 nothing 3762, except 3362 it be 5600 5753 given 1325 5772 him 846 from 1537 heaven 3772.(receive: or, take unto himself)

3:28 Ye 5210 yourselves 846 bear 3140 0 me 3427 witness 3140 5719, that 3754 I said 2036 5627, I 1473 am 1510 5748 not 3756 the Christ 5547, but 235 that 3754 I am 1510 5748 sent 649 5772 before 1715 him 1565.

3:29 He that hath 2192 5723 the bride 3565 is 2076 5748 the bridegroom 3566: but 1161 the friend 5384 of the bridegroom 3566, which 3588 standeth 2476 5761 and 2532 heareth 191 5723 him 846, rejoiceth 5463 5719 greatly 5479 because 1223 of the bridegroom's 3566 voice 5456: this 3778 my 1699 joy 5479 therefore 3767 is fulfilled 4137 5769.

3:30 He 1565 must 1163 5748 increase 837 5721, but 1161 I 1691 [must] decrease 1642 5745.

3:31 He that cometh 2064 5740 from above 509 is 2076 5748 above 1883 all 3956: he that is 5607 5752 of 1537 the earth 1093 is 2076 5748 earthly 1537 1093, and 2532 speaketh 2980 5719 of 1537 the earth 1093: he that cometh 2064 5740 from 1537 heaven 3772 is 2076 5748 above 1883 all 3956.

3:32 And 2532 what 3739 he hath seen 3708 5758 and 2532 heard 191 5656, that 5124 he testifieth 3140 5719; and 2532 no man 3762 receiveth 2983 5719 his 846 testimony 3141.

3:33 He that hath received 2983 5631 his 846 testimony 3141 hath set to his seal 4972 5656 that 3754 God 2316 is 2076 5748 true 227.

3:34 For 1063 he whom 3739 God 2316 hath sent 649 5656 speaketh 2980 5719 the words 4487 of God 2316: for 1063 God 2316 giveth 1325 5719 not 3756 the Spirit 4151 by 1537 measure 3358 [unto him].

3:35 The Father 3962 loveth 25 5719 the Son 5207, and 2532 hath given 1325 5758 all things 3956 into 1722 his 846 hand 5495.

3:36 He that believeth 4100 5723 on 1519 the Son 5207 hath 2192 5719 everlasting 166 life 2222: and 1161 he that believeth not 544 5723 the Son 5207 shall 3700 0 not 3756 see 3700 5695 life 2222; but 235 the wrath 3709 of God 2316 abideth 3306 5719 on 1909 him 846.
