ABP - John - 3

3:1  And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus was the name to him, a ruler of the Jews.

3:2  This one came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that from God you have come as a teacher; for no one [3these 4signs 1is able 2to do] which you do, unless God should be with him.

3:3  Jesus responded and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, Unless one should be born from above, he is not able to behold the kingdom of God.

3:4  [2says 3to 4him 1Nicodemus], How is [2able 1a man] to be born being aged? Is he able [2into 3the 4belly 5of his mother 6a second time 1to enter], and be born?

3:5  Jesus answered, Amen, amen, I say to you, Unless one should be born of water and spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.

3:6  The one being born of the flesh is flesh; and the one being born of the spirit is spirit.

3:7  You should not wonder that I said to you, It is necessary for you to be born from above.

3:8  The wind [2where 3it wants 1blows], and its sound you hear, but you know not from what place it comes, and where it goes; so is every one being born of the spirit.

3:9  Nicodemus answered and said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?

3:10  Jesus answered and said to him, You are the teacher of Israel, and these things you know not?

3:11  Amen, amen, I say to you that, What we know we speak, and what we have seen we witness; and our witness you do not receive.

3:12  If the earthly things I told to you, and you do not believe, how then if I should speak to you the heavenly things, will you believe?

3:13  And no one has ascended into the heaven, except the one from out of the heaven descending -- the son of man, the one being in the heaven.

3:14  And as Moses raised up high the serpent in the wilderness, so [5to be raised up high 1is it necessary 2for the 3son 4of man];

3:15  that every one believing in him should not perish, but have [2life 1eternal].

3:16  For thus God loved the world, so that [4son 2his 3only born 1he gave], that every one trusting in him, should not perish, but should have [2life 1eternal].

3:17  [3did not 1For 4send 2God] his son into the world that he should judge the world, but that [3should be delivered 1the 2world] by him.

3:18  The one trusting in him is not judged; but the one not trusting already has been judged, for he trusts not in the name of the only born son of God.

3:19  And this is the judgment -- that the light has come into the world, and [2loved 1men] more the darkness than the light; [4were 1for 5evil 2their 3works].

3:20  For every one [2heedlessly 1acting] detests the light, and does not come to the light, that [2should not 3be reproved 1his works].

3:21  But the one observing the truth comes to the light, that [3should be made manifest 1his 2works], that in God they are working.

3:22  After these things Jesus came and his disciples unto the Judean land; and there he spent time with them and was immersing.

3:23  [4was 1And 2also 3John] immersing in Aenon near Salim, for [3water 2much 1there was] there; and they were arriving and being immersed.

3:24  For not yet was [2thrown 3into 4the 5prison 1John].

3:25  Became then an inquiry from the disciples of John with the Jews concerning cleansing.

3:26  And they came to John, and they said to him, Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, in whom you witnessed -- See! this one immerses and all come to him.

3:27  John answered and said, [2is not 3able 1Man] to receive anything, unless it should be given to him from the heaven.

3:28  You yourselves witness to me that I said, [3not 2am 1I] the Christ; but that I am one being sent before that one.

3:29  The one having the bride is the groom; and the friend of the groom, the one standing and hearing him, with joy rejoices because of the voice of the groom. This then [2joy 1my] is fulfilled.

3:30  That one must grow, but me to lessen.

3:31  The one [2from above 1coming] [2above 3all 1is]. The one being from the earth, [2of 3the 4earth 1is], and of the earth he speaks. The one [2from 3the 4heaven 1coming 6above 7all 5is],

3:32  and what he has seen and heard, this one witnesses; and his witness no one receives.

3:33  The one receiving of his witness, set a seal that God is true;

3:34  for the one whom God sent, [2the 3sayings 4of God 1speaks]; for not by measure does [2give 1God] the spirit.

3:35  The father loves the son, and all things he has put in his hand.

3:36  The one trusting in the son has [2life 1eternal]; but the one resisting the son shall not see the life, but the anger of God remains upon him.
