John 3:8-24
-
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
-
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
-
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
-
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
-
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
-
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
-
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
-
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
-
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
-
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
-
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
-
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
-
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
-
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
-
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
-
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
-
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
