There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, - ruler of the Jews.

The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him - Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.

Jesus answered, and said unto him - Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him - How, can a man be born, when he is, old? Can he, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born?

Jesus answered - Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.

Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.

The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.

Nicodemus answered, and said unto him - How, can these things, come about?

Jesus answered, and said unto him - Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?

Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.

If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?

And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, - The Son of Man.

And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up, -

That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding.

For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, - that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding.

For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.

He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, - because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, - and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.

For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;

But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.
