1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe. 8The 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. 9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10Iesus answered, & saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things? 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven. 14And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp, 15That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued. 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 22After these things, came Iesus & his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized. 23And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 24For Iohn was not yet cast into prison. 25Then there arose a question between [some] of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. 26And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him. 27John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 28Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him. 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 voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled. 30He must increase, but I must decrease. 31He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. 32And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. 33He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true. 34For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure. 35The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
