JOHN 3:6-22

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

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

⁸The 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.

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

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

¹¹Verily, 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.

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

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

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

¹⁵that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.

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

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

¹⁸He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

²¹But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

²²After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
