John 3:6-17 in English

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.

⁸ The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;

¹⁵ that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Don’t marvel that I told you, ‘You must be born again.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but can’t tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus asked Him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ “Are you Israel’s teacher,” asked Jesus, “and yet you don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most assuredly, I tell you, we speak what we know and testify what we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ever gone up into Heaven except the one who came from Heaven — the Son of Man.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

¹⁵ that everyone who believes in Him should not die, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so sincerely loved the world that He gave His only born Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

⁸ 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.

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.

⁸ The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.

⁶ Humans give birth to humans. But those who are born again as a result of what God's Spirit does receive a new spiritual nature from God .

⁷ Do not be surprised about my telling you that you must be born again and have a new life from God.

⁸ Let me illustrate: The wind blows wherever it wants to blow. You hear its sound, but you do not know where the wind comes from or where it is going. Similarly, those who do not know God cannot understand/control/predict how people are born again as a result of what God's spirit does.”

⁹ Nicodemus replied to him, “How can that happen?”

¹⁰ Jesus replied to him, “You (sg) are a well-known teacher among us Israelite people, so ◄I am surprised that you do not understand these things!/how is it that you do not understand these things?► RHQ

¹¹ Listen to this carefully: ◄My disciples and I/I► tell you (pl) about the things that my disciples and I have seen and know are true, but you (pl) do not admit that what my disciples and I are saying is true.

¹² I have told you about the things that happen here on earth that are true, but you (pl) do not believe me. So if I tell you (sg) about things that happen in heaven, ◄you certainly will not believe me!/how will you believe me?► RHQ

¹³ I am the only one who has gone up to heaven; no one else has gone up there. I am also the one who came down from heaven. So I know what happens there.

¹⁴ Long ago when the Israelite people rebelled against God in the desolate area, God sent poisonous snakes to bite them. But when Moses lifted up on a pole the model of a poisonous snake, everyone who looked at that model was healed from their snake bites. Similarly, even though I am the one who came from heaven, some day people will lift me up on a cross to kill me.

¹⁵ As a result, everyone who believes/trusts in me will have eternal life.”

¹⁶ God loved us people MTY in the world so much that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for us, in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life.

¹⁷ When God sent his Son into the world, his purpose was not to punish the people in MTY the world for their sins. Instead, he sent him in order that they might be saved by him {he might save them} from being ◄ guilty/punished► for their sins.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

⁶ That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

⁸ The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

⁹ And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?

¹⁰ And Jesus, answering, said, Are you the teacher of Israel and have no knowledge of these things?

¹¹ Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

¹² If you have no belief when my words are about the things of earth, how will you have belief if my words are about the things of heaven?

¹³ And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.

¹⁴ As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

¹⁵ So that whoever has faith may have in him eternal life.

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to be judge of the world; he sent him so that the world might have salvation through him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Do not wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that ye should be born anew.

⁸ The wind blows where it will, and thou hearest its voice, but knowest not whence it comes and where it goes: thus is every one that is born of the Spirit.

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Thou art the teacher of Israel and knowest not these things!

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and we bear witness of that which we have seen, and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have said the earthly things to you, and ye believe not, how, if I say the heavenly things to you, will ye believe?

¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven, save he who came down out of heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that every one who believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

¹⁷ For God has not sent his Son into the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.

⁷ Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.

⁸ The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony.

¹² If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And 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 not perish; but may have life everlasting.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wills, and you hear its sound, but you do not know from where it comes and where it goes. So is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, that which We know, We speak, and that which We have seen, We bear witness to, and you do not receive Our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one has gone up into heaven except He who came down out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world so that He might condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

⁶ That which has been begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which has been begotten by the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Do not be perplexed that I said to you, ‘You (pl) need to be begotten from Above.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wishes, and you (sg) hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who has been begotten by the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to Him: “You are the teacher of Israel, yet you do not understand these things?

¹¹ Most assuredly I say to you, we speak what we know and testify to what we have seen, but you (pl) do not receive our testimony.

¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I should tell you the heavenly?

¹³ No one has gone up into Heaven except the One who came down out of Heaven —the Son of the Man, who is in Heaven.

¹⁴ Also, just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, just so the Son of the Man must be lifted up,

¹⁵ so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.

¹⁶ Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world in order to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.

⁶ “What's born of the flesh is flesh, and what's born of the Spirit is Spirit.

⁷ Don't be surprised at my telling you, ‘You must be reborn.’

⁸ The wind blows wherever it wants, and just as you hear the sound it makes, but don't know where it's coming from or where it's going, that's how it is for everyone who is born of the spirit.”

⁹ “How is this possible?” Nicodemus asked.

¹⁰ “You're a famous teacher in Israel, and yet you don't understand such things?” Jesus replied.

¹¹ “I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know and give evidence regarding what we have seen, but you refuse to accept our testimony.

¹² If you don't trust what I say when I tell you about earthly things, how would you ever trust what I say if I were to tell you about heavenly things?

¹³ No one has gone up to heaven, but the Son of man came down from heaven.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of man must be lifted up,

¹⁵ that everyone who trusts in him will have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God loved the world, and this is how: he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn't die, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

⁶ That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit.

⁷ Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe.

⁸ The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit.

⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be?

¹⁰ Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse.

¹² If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things?

¹³ For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen.

¹⁴ And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp,

¹⁵ That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life.

¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

⁸ 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.

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

⁶ A person's body is from his mother and father. His spirit is from God's Spirit.

¹⁶ Human beings are very much in God's feelings. Because of that he gave his very own male child for them, so that the ones who habitually believe in him should not become worthless dregs, but should live for ever in his camp.

¹⁷ He did not send his son here for what's-it, to banish them from his presence for ever. He sent him for us, to rescue everybody!

⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.

⁷ Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.

⁸ The wind bloweth where it will; and thou hearest the sound thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

¹¹ Truly, truly do I say to thee, We speak that which we know, and testify that which we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he who came down from heaven, even the Son of man.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up

¹⁵ that every one who believeth in him may have everlasting life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave the only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him may not perish, but may have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not the Son into the world to condemn the world, but that through him the world might be saved.

⁶ All that owes its birth to human nature is human, and all that owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual.

⁷ Do not wonder at my telling you that you all need to be reborn.

⁸ The wind blows wherever it wants, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from, or where it goes; it is the same with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit.”

⁹ “How can that be?” asked Nicodemus.

¹⁰ “What! You a teacher of Israel,” exclaimed Jesus, “and yet do not understand this!

¹¹ In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.

¹² If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended to heaven, except him who descended from heaven — the Son of Man himself.

¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.

⁶ All that owes its birth to human nature is human, and all that owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual.

⁷ Do not wonder at my telling you that you all need to be reborn.

⁸ The wind blows wherever it wants, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from, or where it goes; it is the same with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit.”

⁹ “How can that be?” asked Nicodemus.

¹⁰ “What! You a teacher of Israel,” exclaimed Jesus, “and yet do not understand this!

¹¹ In truth I tell you that we speak of what we know, and state what we have seen; and yet you do not accept our statements.

¹² If, when I tell you earthly things, you do not believe me, how will you believe me when I tell you of heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended to heaven, except him who descended from heaven — the Son of Man himself.

¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

¹⁵ so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of haRuach the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of haRuach the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus Victory people answered him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ Yeshua Salvation answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel God prevails, and don’t understand these things?

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’t receive our witness.

¹² If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

¹⁴ As Moses Drawn out lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God has agapao ·total devotion love· to the inhabitants of the earth, so he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁷ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

⁶ That which is boren of the flesshe is flesshe: and that which is boren of the sprete is sprete.

⁷ Marvayle not that I sayd to the ye must be boren a newe.

⁸ The wynde bloweth where he listeth and thou hearest his sounde: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whether he goeth. So is every man that is boren of the sprete.

⁹ And Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto him: how can these thinges be?

¹⁰ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel and knowest not these thinges?

¹¹ Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes.

¹² Yf when I tell you erthely thinges ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges?

¹³ And no man ascendeth vp to heaven but he that came doune from heaven that is to saye the sonne of man which is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp,

¹⁵ that none that beleveth in him perisshe: but have eternall lyfe.

¹⁶ For God so loveth the worlde that he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe.

¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condempne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.

⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'

⁸ The wind blows wherever it wishes; you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus replied and said to him, “How can these things be?”

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen. Yet you do not accept our testimony.

¹² If I told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

¹³ No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.

¹⁴ Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

¹⁵ so that all who believe in him may have eternal life.

⁷ Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’

⁸ The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

⁹ Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.

¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³ And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ That whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

⁸ The Spirit breatheth where he will, and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not, from whence he cometh, nor whither he goeth; so is each man that is born of the Spirit.

⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said to him, How may these things be done?

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him, Thou art a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to thee, for we speak that that we know, and we witness that that we have seen, and ye take not our witnessing.

¹³ And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene.

¹⁴ And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid,

¹⁵ that ech man that bileueth in hym, perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf.

¹⁶ For God louede so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf.

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, 'How are these things able to happen?'

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, 'Thou art the teacher of Israel — and these things thou dost not know!

¹³ and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down — the Son of Man who is in the heaven.

¹⁴ 'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,

¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son — the only begotten — He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;
