John 3:8-16

⁸The 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁵That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.

¹⁶For 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.
