John:3:1 @
And there was a man of the Pharisees ,
named Nicodemus ,
a ruler of the Jews .
drb @
John:3:2 @
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 .
drb @
John:3:3 @
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 .
drb @
John:3:4 @
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 ?
drb @
John:3:5 @
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 .
drb @
John:3:6 @
That which is born of the flesh ,
is flesh ;
and that which is born of the Spirit ,
is spirit .
drb @
John:3:7 @
Wonder not ,
that I said to thee ,
you must be born again .
drb @
John:3:8 @
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 .

John:3:9 @
Nicodemus answered ,
and said to him :
How can these things be done ?
drb @
John:3:10 @
Jesus answered ,
and said to him :
Art thou a master in Israel ,
and knowest not these things ?
drb @
John:3:11 @
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 .
drb @
John:3:12 @
If I have spoken to you earthly things ,
and you believe not ;
how will you believe ,
if I shall speak to you heavenly things ?
drb @
John:3:13 @
And no man hath ascended into heaven ,
but he that descended from heaven ,
the Son of man who is in heaven .
drb @
John:3:14 @
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert ,
so must the Son of man be lifted up :
drb @
John:3:15 @
That whosoever believeth in him ,
may not perish ;
but may have life everlasting .
drb @
John:3:16 @
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 .
drb @
John:3:17 @
For God sent not his Son into the world ,
to judge the world ,
but that the world may be saved by him .
drb @
John:3:18 @
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 .
drb @
John:3:19 @
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 .
drb @
John:3:20 @
For every one that doth evil hateth the light ,
and cometh not to the light ,
that his works may not be reproved .
drb @
John:3:21 @
But he that doth truth ,
cometh to the light ,
that his works may be made manifest ,
because they are done in God .
