¹ There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, - ruler of the Jews.² The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him - Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.³ Jesus answered, and said unto him - Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him - How, can a man be born, when he is, old? Can he, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born?⁵ Jesus answered - Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.⁶ That which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.⁷ Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.⁸ The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said unto him - How, can these things, come about?¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said unto him - Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.¹² If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?¹³ And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, - The Son of Man.¹⁴ And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up, - ¹⁵ That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding.¹⁶ For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, - that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding.¹⁷ For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.¹⁸ He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, - because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.¹⁹ And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, - and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.²⁰ For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;²¹ But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.

²² After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.²³ And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; - ²⁴ for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.²⁵ There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, - concerning purification.²⁶ And they came unto John, and said unto him - Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.²⁷ John answered, and said - A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.²⁸ Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said - I, am not the Christ; but - I am sent before, That One.²⁹ He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled. ³⁰ That One, it behoveth to increase, - but, me, to decrease.³¹ He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,³² What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness, - and, his witness, no one, receiveth: - ³³ He that hath received his witness, hath set seal - that, God, is, true.³⁴ For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.³⁵ The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.³⁶ He that believeth on the Son, hath life age-abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life, - but, the anger of God, awaiteth him.
