All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| John 3:3 | Jesus answered him, saying, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born again he cannot see the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) kingdom of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God.” |
| John 3:4 | Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter into his mother’s womb and be born a second time, can he?” |
| John 3:5 | Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) kingdom of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God. |
| John 3:6 | What (to | τό | nom sg neut) is born of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) flesh is flesh, and what (to | τό | nom sg neut) is born of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) Spirit is spirit. |
| John 3:8 | The (to | τό | nom sg neut) wind blows wherever it chooses, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it is coming from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) Spirit.” |
| John 3:10 | Jesus answered, saying to him, “Are you the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) teacher of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Israel and you do not understand these things?” |
| John 3:11 | “I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. |
| John 3:12 | If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? |
| John 3:13 | No one has gone up to heaven except the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who came down out of heaven, the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) Son of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Man. |
| John 3:14 | And just as Moses lifted up the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) serpent in the (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) wilderness, so must the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) Son of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Man be lifted up, |
| John 3:15 | so that everyone who (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) believes in him may have eternal life. |
| John 3:16 | “For this is how God loved the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) world: he gave his (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) one and only Son that everyone who (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. |
| John 3:17 | For God did not send his (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) Son into the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) world to condemn the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) world, but so that the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) world might be saved through him. |
| John 3:18 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who believes in him is not condemned, but the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the (to | τό | acc sg neut) name of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God’s one and only Son. |
| John 3:19 | And the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) basis for judging is this, that light has come into the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) world and people love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil. |
| John 3:20 | For everyone who (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) practices wickedness hates the (to | τό | acc sg neut) light and does not come to the (to | τό | acc sg neut) light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. |
| John 3:21 | But the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who does the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) truth comes to the (to | τό | acc sg neut) light, so that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” |
| John 3:22 | After this Jesus and his disciples went into the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) Judean countryside, and he was there with them for a time and was baptizing. |
| John 3:23 | Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there were many springs there, and people kept coming to be baptized. |
| John 3:24 | (John had not yet been thrown into prison.) |
| John 3:25 | Now an argument about ritual cleansing arose between some of (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) John’s disciples and a certain Jew. |
| John 3:26 | So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the far side of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Jordan, the one to whom you bore witness — well, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him!” |
| John 3:27 | John responded, saying, “A man cannot receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven. |
| John 3:28 | You yourselves bear me witness that I said, ‘I am not the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) Christ,’ but rather, ‘I am the one sent ahead of him.’ |
| John 3:29 | It is the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) bridegroom who has the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) bride; but the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) friend of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) bridegroom, who (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly when he hears the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. |
