John 3:6-17

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

⁷Wonder thou not, for I said to thee, It behooveth you to be born again.

⁸The 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. (The Spirit breatheth where he wanteth, and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not, where he cometh from, nor where he goeth; so is each man who is born from the Spirit.)

⁹Nicodemus answered, and said to him, How may these things be done? (or How can these things be done?)

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

¹¹Truly, 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. (Truly, I tell thee the truth, for we speak of that which we know, and we testify about that which we have seen, but ye do not receive or accept our testimony.)

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

¹³And no man ascendeth up into heaven, no but he that came down from heaven, man’s Son that is in heaven, or the Son of man which is in heaven, (or the Son of man who was in heaven).

¹⁴And as Moses areared or reared up a serpent in (the) desert, so it behooveth man’s Son to be raised up,

¹⁵that each man that believeth in him, perish not, but have everlasting life. (so that everyone who believeth in him, perish not, but have eternal life.)

¹⁶For God loved so the world or Forsooth God so loved the world, that he gave his one begotten Son, that each man that believeth in him perish not, but have everlasting life (or but have eternal life).

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