1 There was|strong="G2258" a man|strong="G0444" of|strong="G1537" the Pharisees|strong="G5330", named|strong="G3686" Nicodemus|strong="G3530", a ruler|strong="G0758" of the Jews|strong="G2453":
2 The same|strong="G3778" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" Jesus|strong="G2424" by night|strong="G3571", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G2036" unto him|strong="G0846", Rabbi|strong="G4461", we know|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" thou art|strong="G2064" a teacher|strong="G1320" come|strong="G2064" from|strong="G0575" God|strong="G2316": for|strong="G1063" no man|strong="G3762" can|strong="G1410" do|strong="G4160" these|strong="G5023" miracles|strong="G4592" that|strong="G3739" thou|strong="G4771" doest|strong="G4160", except|strong="G3361" God|strong="G2316" be|strong="G5600" with|strong="G3326" him|strong="G0846".
3 Jesus|strong="G2424" answered|strong="G0611" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G2036" unto him|strong="G0846", \+w Verily|strong="G0281"\+w*, \+w verily|strong="G0281"\+w*, \+w I say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w unto thee|strong="G4671"\+w*, \+w Except|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w a man|strong="G5100"\+w* \+w be born|strong="G1080"\+w* \+w again|strong="G0509"\+w*, he \+w can|strong="G1410"\+w*\+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w see|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w the kingdom|strong="G0932"\+w* \+w of God|strong="G2316"\+w*.
4 Nicodemus|strong="G3530" saith|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G4314" him|strong="G0846", How|strong="G4459" can|strong="G1410" a man|strong="G0444" be born|strong="G1080" when he is|strong="G5607" old|strong="G1088"? can he|strong="G1410" enter|strong="G1525" the second time|strong="G1208" into|strong="G1519" his|strong="G0846" mother’s|strong="G3384" womb|strong="G2836", and|strong="G2532" be born|strong="G1080"?

9 Nicodemus|strong="G3530" answered|strong="G0611" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G2036" unto him|strong="G0846", How|strong="G4459" can|strong="G1410" these things|strong="G5023" be|strong="G1096"?
10 Jesus|strong="G2424" answered|strong="G0611" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G2036" unto him|strong="G0846", \+w Art|strong="G1488"\+w* \+w thou|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w a master|strong="G1320"\+w* \+w of Israel|strong="G2474"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w knowest|strong="G1097"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w these things|strong="G5023"\+w*?

22 After|strong="G3326" these things|strong="G5023" came|strong="G2064" Jesus|strong="G2424" and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G0846" disciples|strong="G3101" into|strong="G1519" the land|strong="G1093" of Judæa|strong="G2453"; and|strong="G2532" there|strong="G1563" he tarried|strong="G1304" with|strong="G3326" them|strong="G0846", and|strong="G2532" baptized|strong="G0907".
23 And|strong="G1161" John|strong="G2491" also|strong="G2532" was|strong="G2258" baptizing|strong="G0907" in|strong="G1722" Ænon|strong="G0137" near|strong="G1451" to Salim|strong="G4530", because|strong="G3754" there was|strong="G2258" much|strong="G4183" water|strong="G5204" there|strong="G1563": and|strong="G2532" they came|strong="G3854", and|strong="G2532" were baptized|strong="G0907".
24 For|strong="G1063" John|strong="G2491" was|strong="G2258" not yet|strong="G3768" cast|strong="G0906" into|strong="G1519" prison|strong="G5438".
25 Then|strong="G3767" there arose|strong="G1096" a question|strong="G2214" between|strong="G3326" some of|strong="G1537" John’s|strong="G2491" disciples|strong="G3101" and|strong="G3326" the Jews|strong="G2453" about|strong="G4012" purifying|strong="G2512".
26 And|strong="G2532" they came|strong="G2064" unto|strong="G4314" John|strong="G2491", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G2036" unto him|strong="G0846", Rabbi|strong="G4461", he|strong="G3739" that was|strong="G2258" with|strong="G3326" thee|strong="G4675" beyond|strong="G4008" Jordan|strong="G2446", to whom|strong="G3739" thou|strong="G4771" barest witness|strong="G3140", behold|strong="G1492", the same|strong="G3778" baptizeth|strong="G0907", and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" men come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" him|strong="G0846".
27 John|strong="G2491" answered|strong="G0611" and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G2036", A man|strong="G0444" can|strong="G1410" receive|strong="G2983" nothing|strong="G3762", except|strong="G3361" it be|strong="G5600" given|strong="G1325" him|strong="G0846" from|strong="G1537" heaven|strong="G3772".
28 Ye|strong="G5210" yourselves|strong="G0846" bear|strong="G3140" me|strong="G3427" witness|strong="G3140", that|strong="G3754" I said|strong="G2036", I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" the Christ|strong="G5547", but|strong="G0235" that|strong="G3754" I am|strong="G1510" sent|strong="G0649" before|strong="G1715" him|strong="G1565".
29 He that hath|strong="G2192" the bride|strong="G3565" is|strong="G2076" the bridegroom|strong="G3566": but|strong="G1161" the friend|strong="G5384" of the bridegroom|strong="G3566", which standeth|strong="G2476" and|strong="G2532" heareth|strong="G0191" him|strong="G0846", rejoiceth|strong="G5463" greatly|strong="G5479" because|strong="G1223" of the|strong="G5456" bridegroom’s|strong="G3566" voice|strong="G5456": this|strong="G3778" my|strong="G1699" joy|strong="G5479" therefore|strong="G3767" is fulfilled|strong="G4137".
30 He|strong="G1565" must|strong="G1163" increase|strong="G0837", but|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1691" must decrease|strong="G1642".
31 He that cometh|strong="G2064" from above|strong="G0509" is|strong="G2076" above|strong="G1883" all|strong="G3956": he that is|strong="G5607" of|strong="G1537" the earth|strong="G1093" is|strong="G2076" earthly|strong="G1093", and|strong="G2532" speaketh|strong="G2980" of|strong="G1537" the earth|strong="G1093": he that cometh|strong="G2064" from|strong="G1537" heaven|strong="G3772" is|strong="G2076" above|strong="G1883" all|strong="G3956".
32 And|strong="G2532" what|strong="G3739" he hath seen|strong="G3708" and|strong="G2532" heard|strong="G0191", that|strong="G5124" he testifieth|strong="G3140"; and|strong="G2532" no man|strong="G3762" receiveth|strong="G2983" his|strong="G0846" testimony|strong="G3141".
33 He that hath received|strong="G2983" his|strong="G0846" testimony|strong="G3141" hath set to his seal|strong="G4972" that|strong="G3754" God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G2076" true|strong="G0227".
34 For|strong="G1063" he whom|strong="G3739" God|strong="G2316" hath sent|strong="G0649" speaketh|strong="G2980" the words|strong="G4487" of God|strong="G2316": for|strong="G1063" God|strong="G2316" giveth|strong="G1325" not|strong="G3756" the Spirit|strong="G4151" by|strong="G1537" measure|strong="G3358" unto him.
35 The Father|strong="G3962" loveth|strong="G0025" the Son|strong="G5207", and|strong="G2532" hath given|strong="G1325" all things|strong="G3956" into|strong="G1722" his|strong="G0846" hand|strong="G5495".
36 He that believeth|strong="G4100" on|strong="G1519" the Son|strong="G5207" hath|strong="G2192" everlasting|strong="G0166" life|strong="G2222": and|strong="G1161" he that believeth not|strong="G0544" the Son|strong="G5207" shall|strong="G3700" not|strong="G3756" see|strong="G3700" life|strong="G2222"; but|strong="G0235" the wrath|strong="G3709" of God|strong="G2316" abideth|strong="G3306" on|strong="G1909" him|strong="G0846".
