3Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.Select John 3:3
4Nicodemus 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?Select John 3:4

17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him.Select John 3:17

19And 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.Select John 3:19
20For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.Select John 3:20
21But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God.Select John 3:21
