1Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2this man came to Yeshua(Jesus) by nyx(night) and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."
3Yeshua(Jesus) answered and said to him, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born anothen(from-above, again), he cannot see the kingdom of God."
4Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"
5Yeshua(Jesus) answered, "Truly, truly I say to you, unless one is born of water and pneuma(spirit), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6That which is born of the sarx(flesh) is sarx(flesh), and that which is born of the pneuma(spirit) is pneuma(spirit).
7Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born anothen(from-above, again).'
8The pneuma(spirit) blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the pneuma(spirit)."
9Nicodemus answered and said to Him, "How can these things be?"
10Yeshua(Jesus) answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?
11Truly, truly I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.
12If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.
14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal zoe(life).
16For God so agapao(loved) the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal zoe(life).
17For God did not send the Son into the world to krino(judge) the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
18He who believes in Him is not krino(judged); he who does not believe has been krino(judged) already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
19This is the krisis(judgment): that the light has come into the world, and men agapao(loved) the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil.
20For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21But he who practices aletheia(truth) comes to the light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.
22After these things Yeshua(Jesus) and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.
23John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized —
24for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John's disciples with a Jew about purification.
26And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified — behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him."
27John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.
28You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Messiah(Christ),' but, 'I have been sent ahead of Him.'
29He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the philos(friend) of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice; so this joy of mine has been made full.
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
31He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth; He who comes from heaven is above all.
32What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.
33He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is alethes(true, truthful).
34For He whom God has sent speaks the rhema(spoken-words) of God; for He gives the pneuma(spirit) without measure.
35The Father agapao(loves) the Son and has given all things into His hand.
36He who believes in the Son has eternal zoe(life); but he who does not obey the Son will not see zoe(life), but the orge(wrath) of God abides on him.
