* 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 .
