John 3

1 Christ teacheth Nicodemus the necessity of regeneration. 14 Of faith in his death. 16 The great love of God towards the world. 18 Condemnation for unbelief. 23 The baptism, witness, and doctrine of John concerning Christ.

 3:1 ¶ y1161 There x1161 was 2258 z5713 a man 444 of 1537 the x3588 Pharisees, 5330 named 3686 y846 Nicodemus, 3530 a ruler 758 of the x3588 Jews: 2453

 3:2 The same 3778 came 2064 z5627 to 4314 Jesus 2424 by night, 3571 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Rabbi, 4461 we know 1492 z5758 that 3754 thou art y2064 z0 a teacher 1320 come 2064 z5754 from 575 God: 2316 for 1063 no man 3762 can 1410 z5736 do 4160 z5721 these 5023 miracles 4592 that 3739 thou 4771 doest, 4160 z5719 except 3362 God 2316 be 5600 z5753 with 3326 him. 846

 3:3 Jesus 2424 answered 611 z5662 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Verily, 281 verily, 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto thee, 4671 Except 3362 a man 5100 be born 1080 z5686 again, 509 he cannot 1410 3756 z5736 see 1492 z5629 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God. 2316

 3:4 Nicodemus 3530 saith 3004 z5719 unto 4314 him, 846 How 4459 can 1410 z5736 a man 444 be born 1080 z5683 when he is 5607 z5752 old? 1088 can 1410 y3361 z5736 he x3361 enter 1525 z5629 the second time 1208 into 1519 his y846 x848 mother's 3384 womb, 2836 and 2532 be born? 1080 z5683

 3:5 Jesus 2424 answered, 611 z5662 Verily, 281 verily, 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto thee, 4671 Except 3362 a man 5100 be born 1080 z5686 of 1537 water 5204 and 2532 [of] the Spirit, 4151 he cannot 3756 1410 z5736 enter 1525 z5629 into 1519 the x3588 kingdom 932 of God. 2316

 3:6 That which is born 1080 z5772 of 1537 the x3588 flesh 4561 is 2076 z5748 flesh; 4561 and 2532 that which is born 1080 z5772 of 1537 the x3588 Spirit 4151 is 2076 z5748 spirit. 4151

 3:7 Marvel 2296 z5661 not 3361 that 3754 I said 2036 z5627 unto thee, 4671 Ye 5209 must 1163 z5748 be born 1080 z5683 again. 509

 3:8 The x3588 wind 4151 bloweth 4154 z5719 where 3699 it listeth, 2309 z5719 and 2532 thou hearest 191 z5719 the x3588 sound 5456 thereof, 846 but 235 canst y1492 z0 not y3756 tell 1492 z5758 x3756 whence 4159 it cometh, 2064 z5736 and 2532 whither 4226 it goeth: 5217 z5719 so 3779 is 2076 z5748 every one 3956 that is born 1080 z5772 of 1537 the x3588 Spirit. 4151

 3:9 Nicodemus 3530 answered 611 z5662 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 How 4459 can 1410 z5736 these things 5023 be? 1096 z5635

 3:10 Jesus 2424 answered 611 z5662 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Art 1488 z5748 thou 4771 a master 1320 of Israel, 2474 and 2532 knowest 1097 z5719 not 3756 these things? 5023

 3:11 Verily, 281 verily, 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto thee, 4671 We x3754 speak 2980 z5719 that 3739 y3754 we do know, 1492 z5758 and 2532 testify 3140 z5719 that 3739 we have seen; 3708 z5758 and 2532 ye receive 2983 z5719 not 3756 our 2257 witness. 3141

 3:12 If 1487 I have told 2036 z5627 you 5213 earthly things, 1919 and 2532 ye believe 4100 z5719 not, 3756 how 4459 shall ye believe, 4100 z5692 if 1437 I tell 2036 z5632 you 5213 [of] heavenly things? 2032

 3:13 And 2532 no man 3762 hath ascended up 305 z5758 to 1519 heaven, 3772 but 1508 he that came down 2597 z5631 from 1537 heaven, 3772 [even] the x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 which y3588 is 5607 z5752 in 1722 heaven. 3772

 3:14 ¶ And 2532 as 2531 Moses 3475 lifted up 5312 z5656 the x3588 serpent 3789 in 1722 the x3588 wilderness, 2048 even so 3779 must 1163 z5748 the x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 be lifted up: 5312 z5683

 3:15 That y3363 z0 x2443 whosoever 3956 believeth 4100 z5723 in 1519 him 846 should y622 z0 not y3363 x3361 perish, 622 z5643 but 235 have 2192 z5725 eternal 166 life. 2222

 3:16 ¶ For 1063 God 2316 so 3779 loved 25 z5656 the x3588 world, 2889 that 5620 he gave 1325 z5656 his y846 x848 only begotten 3439 Son, 5207 that 2443 whosoever 3956 believeth 4100 z5723 in 1519 him 846 should y622 z0 not 3361 perish, 622 z5643 but 235 have 2192 z5725 everlasting 166 life. 2222

 3:17 For 1063 God 2316 sent 649 z5656 not 3756 his y846 x848 Son 5207 into 1519 the x3588 world 2889 to y2443 x2553 condemn 2919 z5725 the x3588 world; 2889 but 235 that 2443 the x3588 world 2889 through 1223 him 846 might be saved. 4982 z5686

 3:18 ¶ He that believeth 4100 z5723 on 1519 him 846 is y2919 z0 not 3756 condemned: 2919 z5743 but 1161 he that believeth 4100 z5723 not 3361 is condemned 2919 z5769 already, 2235 because 3754 he hath y4100 z0 not 3361 believed 4100 z5758 in 1519 the x3588 name 3686 of the x3588 only begotten 3439 Son 5207 of God. 2316

 3:19 And 1161 this 3778 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 condemnation, 2920 that 3754 light 5457 is come 2064 z5754 into 1519 the x3588 world, 2889 and 2532 men 444 loved 25 z5656 darkness 4655 rather 3123 than 2228 light, 5457 because 1063 their 846 deeds 2041 were 2258 z5713 evil. 4190

 3:20 For 1063 every one 3956 that doeth 4238 z5723 evil 5337 hateth 3404 z5719 the x3588 light, 5457 neither 2532 3756 cometh 2064 z5736 to 4314 the x3588 light, 5457 lest 3363 his 846 deeds 2041 should be reproved. 1651 z5686

 3:21 But 1161 he that doeth 4160 z5723 truth 225 cometh 2064 z5736 to 4314 the x3588 light, 5457 that 2443 his 846 deeds 2041 may be made manifest, 5319 z5686 that 3754 they are 2076 z5748 wrought 2038 z5772 in 1722 God. 2316

 3:22 ¶ After 3326 these things 5023 came 2064 z5627 Jesus 2424 and 2532 his 846 disciples 3101 into 1519 the x3588 land 1093 of Judea; 2449 and 2532 there 1563 he tarried 1304 z5707 with 3326 them, 846 and 2532 baptized. 907 z5707

 3:23 ¶ And 1161 John 2491 also 2532 was 2258 z5713 baptizing 907 z5723 in 1722 Aenon 137 near y1451 to x1451 Salim, 4530 because 3754 there was 2258 z5713 much 4183 water 5204 there: 1563 and 2532 they came, 3854 z5708 and 2532 were baptized. 907 z5712

 3:24 For 1063 John 2491 was 2258 z5713 not yet 3768 cast 906 z5772 into 1519 prison. 5438

 3:25 ¶ Then 3767 there arose 1096 z5633 a question 2214 between y3326 [some] of 1537 John's 2491 disciples 3101 and x3326 the Jews 2453 about 4012 purifying. 2512

 3:26 And 2532 they came 2064 z5627 unto 4314 John, 2491 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Rabbi, 4461 he y3739 that x3739 was 2258 z5713 with 3326 thee 4675 beyond 4008 Jordan, 2446 to whom 3739 thou 4771 barest witness, 3140 z5758 behold, 2396 the same 3778 baptizeth, 907 z5719 and 2532 all 3956 [men] come 2064 z5736 to 4314 him. 846

 3:27 John 2491 answered 611 z5662 and 2532 said, 2036 z5627 A man 444 can 1410 3756 z5736 receive 2983 z5721 nothing, 3762 except 3362 it be 5600 z5753 given 1325 z5772 him 846 from 1537 heaven. 3772

 3:28 Ye 5210 yourselves 846 bear y3140 z0 me y3427 witness, 3140 z5719 x3427 that 3754 I said, 2036 z5627 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 not 3756 the x3588 Christ, 5547 but 235 that 3754 I am 1510 z5748 sent 649 z5772 before 1715 him. 1565

 3:29 He that hath 2192 z5723 the x3588 bride 3565 is 2076 z5748 the bridegroom: 3566 but 1161 the x3588 friend 5384 of the x3588 bridegroom, 3566 which y3588 standeth 2476 z5761 and 2532 heareth 191 z5723 him, 846 rejoiceth 5463 z5719 greatly 5479 because 1223 of the x3588 bridegroom's 3566 voice: 5456 this 3778 my 1699 joy 5479 therefore 3767 is fulfilled. 4137 z5769

 3:30 He 1565 must 1163 z5748 increase, 837 z5721 but 1161 I 1691 [must] decrease. 1642 z5745

 3:31 He that cometh 2064 z5740 from above 509 is 2076 z5748 above 1883 all: 3956 he that is 5607 z5752 of 1537 the x3588 earth 1093 is 2076 z5748 earthly, 1537 1093 and 2532 speaketh 2980 z5719 of 1537 the x3588 earth: 1093 he that cometh 2064 z5740 from 1537 heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 above 1883 all. 3956

 3:32 And 2532 what 3739 he hath seen 3708 z5758 and 2532 heard, 191 z5656 that 5124 he testifieth; 3140 z5719 and 2532 no man 3762 receiveth 2983 z5719 his 846 testimony. 3141

 3:33 He that hath received 2983 z5631 his 846 testimony 3141 hath set to his seal 4972 z5656 that 3754 God 2316 is 2076 z5748 true. 227

 3:34 For 1063 he whom 3739 God 2316 hath sent 649 z5656 speaketh 2980 z5719 the x3588 words 4487 of God: 2316 for 1063 God 2316 giveth 1325 z5719 not 3756 the x3588 Spirit 4151 by 1537 measure 3358 [unto him].

 3:35 The x3588 Father 3962 loveth 25 z5719 the x3588 Son, 5207 and 2532 hath given 1325 z5758 all things 3956 into 1722 his 846 hand. 5495

 3:36 He that believeth 4100 z5723 on 1519 the x3588 Son 5207 hath 2192 z5719 everlasting 166 life: 2222 and 1161 he that believeth x544 not y544 z5723 the x3588 Son 5207 shall y3700 z0 not 3756 see 3700 z5695 life; 2222 but 235 the x3588 wrath 3709 of God 2316 abideth 3306 z5719 on 1909 him. 846
