1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of þe Iewes:Select John 3:1

2The same came to Iesus by night, and said vnto him, Rabbi, wee know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can doe these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.Select John 3:2

3Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he cannot see the kingdome of God.Select John 3:3

4Nicodemus saith vnto him, How can a man be borne when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mothers wombe, and be borne?Select John 3:4

5Iesus answered, Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, except a man be borne of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdome of God.Select John 3:5

6That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh, and that which is borne of the spirit, is spirit.Select John 3:6

7Marueile not that I saide vnto thee, Ye must be borne againe.Select John 3:7

8The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tel whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: So is euery one that is borne of the Spirit.Select John 3:8

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

10Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?Select John 3:10

11Uerely, verely I say vnto thee, We speake that we doe know, and testifie that wee haue seene; and yee receiue not our witnesse.Select John 3:11

12If I haue tolde you earthly things, and ye beleeue not: how shall ye beleeue if I tell you of heauenly things?Select John 3:12

13And no man hath ascended vp to heauen, but hee that came downe from heauen, euen the Sonne of man which is in heauen.Select John 3:13

14And as Moses lifted vp the serpent in the wildernesse: euen so must the Sonne of man be lifted vp:Select John 3:14

15That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue eternall life.Select John 3:15

16For God so loued þe world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.Select John 3:16

17For God sent not his Sonne into the world to condemne the world: but that the world through him might be saued.Select John 3:17

18He that beleeueth on him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because hee hath not beleeued in the Name of the onely begotten Sonne of God.Select John 3:18

19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loued darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were euill.Select John 3:19

20For euery one that doeth euill, hateth the light, neither commeth to the light, lest his deeds should be reproued.Select John 3:20

21But hee that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.Select John 3:21

22After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the land of Iudea, and there hee taried with them, and baptized.Select John 3:22

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

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

25Then there arose a question between some of Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying.Select John 3:25

26And they came vnto Iohn, and said vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iordane, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.Select John 3:26

27Iohn answered, and said, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen.Select John 3:27

28Ye your selues beare me witnesse, 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 bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome, which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of the bridegromes voice: This my ioy therefore is fulfilled.Select John 3:29

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

31Hee that commeth from aboue, is aboue all: hee that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: hee that cometh from heauen is aboue all:Select John 3:31

32And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth, and no man receiueth his testimony:Select John 3:32

33He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath set to his seale, that God is true.Select John 3:33

34For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: For God giueth not the Spirit by measure vnto him.Select John 3:34

35The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen al things into his hand.Select John 3:35

36He that beleeueth on the Sonne, hath euerlasting life: and he that beleeueth not the Sonne, shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him.Select John 3:36
