John 3 (DRA)

v1

And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

v2

This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.

v3

Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

v4

Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born again?

v5

Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

v6

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

v7

Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.

v8

The 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.

v9

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

v10

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

v11

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

v12

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

v13

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

v14

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

v15

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

v16

For 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.

v17

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

v18

He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

v19

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

v20

For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.

v21

But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.

v22

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

v23

And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim; because there was much water there; and they came and were baptized.

v24

For John was not yet cast into prison.

v25

And there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews concerning purification:

v26

And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.

v27

John answered, and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven.

v28

You yourselves do bear me witness, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.

v29

He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.

v30

He must increase, but I must decrease.

v31

He that cometh from above, is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven, is above all.

v32

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony.

v33

He that hath received his testimony, hath set to his seal that God is true.

v34

For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.

v35

The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand.

v36

He that believeth in the Son, hath life everlasting; but he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
