3John 3

1Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:Select John 3:1

2the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him.Select John 3:2

3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.Select John 3:3

4Nicodemus saith unto 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?Select John 3:4

5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.Select John 3:5

6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.Select John 3:6

7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.Select John 3:7

8The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.Select John 3:8

9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?Select John 3:9

10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?Select John 3:10

11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.Select John 3:11

12If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?Select John 3:12

13And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.Select John 3:13

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

15that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.Select John 3:15

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.Select John 3:16

17For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.Select John 3:17

18He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.Select John 3:18

19And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.Select John 3:19

20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.Select John 3:20

21But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.Select John 3:21

22After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.Select John 3:22

23And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.Select John 3:23

24For John was not yet cast into prison.Select John 3:24

25There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.Select John 3:25

26And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.Select John 3:26

27John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.Select John 3:27

28Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.Select John 3:28

29He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is made full.Select John 3:29

30He must increase, but I must decrease.Select John 3:30

31He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all.Select John 3:31

32What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness.Select John 3:32

33He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to this, that God is true.Select John 3:33

34For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure.Select John 3:34

35The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.Select John 3:35

36He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.Select John 3:36
