3Jesus Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, + 3:3 The word translated “anew” here and in John 3:7 (ἄνωθεν) also means “again” and “from above”. he can’ t see God’s Kingdom.”
4Nicodemus
5Jesus Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’ t enter into God’s Kingdom.
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘ You must all be born anew.’
8The wind + 3:8 The same Greek word (πνεῦμα) means wind, breath, and spirit. blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don’ t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9Nicodemus
10Jesus Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’ t understand these things?
11Most certainly I tell you, we speak that which we know and testify of that which we have seen, and you don’ t receive our witness.
12If I told you earthly things and you don’ t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
13No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.
14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
15that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born + 3:16 The phrase “only born” is from the Greek word “μονογενη”, which is sometimes translated “only begotten” or “one and only”. Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17For God didn’ t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
18He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’ t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
19This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
20For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’ t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
