John 3:6-17

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

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

⁸The 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.”

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

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

¹¹Most 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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