There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of ye Iewes:

The 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.

Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he cannot see the kingdome of God.

Nicodemus 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?

Iesus 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.

That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh, and that which is borne of the spirit, is spirit.

Marueile not that I saide vnto thee, Ye must be borne againe.

The 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.

Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, How can these things be?

Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Uerely, verely I say vnto thee, We speake that we doe know, and testifie that wee haue seene; and yee receiue not our witnesse.

If I haue tolde you earthly things, and ye beleeue not: how shall ye beleeue if I tell you of heauenly things?

And no man hath ascended vp to heauen, but hee that came downe from heauen, euen the Sonne of man which is in heauen.

And as Moses lifted vp the serpent in the wildernesse: euen so must the Sonne of man be lifted vp:

That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue eternall life.

For God so loued ye world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.

For God sent not his Sonne into the world to condemne the world: but that the world through him might be saued.

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.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loued darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were euill.

For euery one that doeth euill, hateth the light, neither commeth to the light, lest his deeds should be reproued.

But hee that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
