1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."

3 Jesus answered him, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom."

4 Nicodemus said 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?"

5 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’ 8 The wind 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."

9 Nicodemus answered him, "How can these things be?"

10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things? 11 Most 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. 12 If I told you earthly things and you don’t believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. 14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 18 He 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. 19 This is the judgement, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

22 After these things, Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea. He stayed there with them and baptised. 23 John also was baptising in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were baptised; 24 for John was not yet thrown into prison. 25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification. 26 They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptises, and everyone is coming to him."

27 John answered, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’ 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore my joy is made full. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 "He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his witness. 33 He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. 36 One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

1 But there was one of the Pharishee whose name was Nikodimos, a ruler of the Jihudoyee:2 this came to Jeshu in the night, and said to him, Rabi, we know that from Aloha thou art sent a teacher; for no man can these signs perform which thou doest, unless Aloha be with him.3 Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha.4 Nikodimos said to him, How can an old man be born? Who can again the womb of his mother the second time enter, and be born?5 Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha.6 Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh; and whatever is born of the Spirit, is spirit.7 Wonder not that I have said to thee, that it behoves you to be born anew.8 The wind bloweth where she willeth, and her voice thou hearest; but thou knowest not whence she cometh, nor whither she goeth: so is every man who is born of the Spirit.9 Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be?10 Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not?11 Amen, amen, I say to thee, What we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; but our testimony you receive not.12 If of (what is) on earth I tell you, and you believe not, how if I tell you of (what is) in heaven, could you believe me?13 AND no man hath ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man, he who is in heaven.14 And as Musha elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so is to be elevated the Son of man,15 that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal.16 For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal.17 For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.18 He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha.19 And this is the judgment, that the light hath come into the world, and the sons of men have loved darkness rather than the light, for their deeds have been evil.20 For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.21 But he who doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be known that in Aloha they are wrought.22 AFTER these came Jeshu and his disciples into the land of Jihuda, and there conversed with them and baptized.23 But Juchanon also was baptizing in Ein-yon, near Sholim, because the waters were there many; and they came and were baptized;24 for not yet was Juchanon cast into the house of the bound.25 But there was a question with some of the disciples of Juchanon (and) a certain Jihudoya, upon purification.26 And they came to Juchanon, and said to him, Raban, he who was with thee at the passage of Jurdan, (and) concerning whom thou didst give witness, he also baptizeth, and many come to him.27 Juchanon answered and said to them, A man cannot receive of his own will any thing, unless it be given to him from heaven.28 You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostle before him.29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete.30 To him it must be to increase, and to me to decrease.31 For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all.32 And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth.33 But he who hath received his testimony, hath sealed that the true Aloha is he.34 For he whom Aloha hath sent, the very words of Aloha speaketh; for it was not in measure that Aloha gave the Spirit.35 The Father loveth the Son, and every thing hath he given into his hands.36 He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him.
