rsv - John:3:1-21

rsv@John:3:1 @ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews.

rsv@John:3:2 @ This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

rsv@John:3:3 @ Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

rsv@John:3:4 @ Nicode'mus said 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?"

rsv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

rsv@John:3:6 @ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

rsv@John:3:7 @ Do not marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.'

rsv@John:3:8 @ The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit."

rsv@John:3:9 @ Nicode'mus said to him, "How can this be?"

rsv@John:3:10 @ Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this?

rsv@John:3:11 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony.

rsv@John:3:12 @ If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

rsv@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man.

rsv@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

rsv@John:3:15 @ that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."

rsv@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

rsv@John:3:17 @ For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

rsv@John:3:18 @ He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

rsv@John:3:19 @ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

rsv@John:3:20 @ For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

rsv@John:3:21 @ But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.
