John 3:7-22

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.

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

¹⁰Jesus answered, and said to him, Thou art a master 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.

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 or goeth up into heaven, but he that came down from heaven, man’s Son that is in heaven or the Son of man which is in heaven.

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

¹⁵that each man that believeth in him, perish not, but have everlasting 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.

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

¹⁸He that believeth in him, is not deemed, or condemned; but he that believeth not, is now deemed or condemned, for he believeth not in the name of the one or the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹And this is the doom, for light came into the world, and men loved more darknesses than light; for their works were evil.

²⁰For each man that doeth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, that his works be not reproved.

²¹But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his works be showed, that they be done in God.

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