- John 3:1–21Rank 2 from verse 39
1THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
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 again.
8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell 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 a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18¶ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
1¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of y e Iewes:
2The same came to Iesus by night, and said vnto him, Rabbi, wee know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can doe these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, except a man be borne ‖againe, he cannot see the kingdome of God.
4Nicodemus saith vnto him, How can a man be borne when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mothers wombe, and be borne?
5Iesus answered, Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, except a man be borne of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdome of God.
6That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh, and that which is borne of the spirit, is spirit.
7Marueile not that I saide vnto thee, Ye must be borne ‖againe.
8The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tel whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: So is euery one that is borne of the Spirit.
9Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, How can these things be?
10Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11Uerely, verely I say vnto thee, We speake that we doe know, and testifie that wee haue seene; and yee receiue not our witnesse.
12If I haue tolde you earthly things, and ye beleeue not: how shall ye beleeue if I tell you of heauenly things?
13And no man hath ascended vp to heauen, but hee that came downe from heauen, euen the Sonne of man which is in heauen.
14¶ *And as Moses lifted vp the serpent in the wildernesse: euen so must the Sonne of man be lifted vp:
15That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue eternall life.
16¶ *For God so loued y e world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.
17*For God sent not his Sonne into the world to condemne the world: but that the world through him might be saued.
18¶ He that beleeueth on him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because hee hath not beleeued in the Name of the onely begotten Sonne of God.
19And this is the condemnation, *that light is come into the world, and men loued darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were euill.
20For euery one that doeth euill, hateth the light, neither commeth to the light, lest his deeds should be ‖reproued.
21But hee that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
