ULT YHN Chapter 3

3 Now there was a man from the Pharisees, Nicodemus was his name, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This one came to him at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus replied and said to him, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless someone would be born again, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus says to him, “How is a man able to be born, being an old man? He is not able to enter a second time into the womb of his mother and to be born, is he?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone would be born from water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God. 6 What has been born from the flesh is flesh, and what has been born from the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you to be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So is everyone having been born from the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemus replied and said to him, “How are these things able to happen?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you that we speak what we know, and we testify about what we have seen, and you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 And no one has ascended into heaven except the one having descended from heaven—the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up 15 so that everyone believing in him may have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his One and Only Son, so that everyone believing in him would not perish but would have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world so that he might condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through him. 18 The one believing in him is not condemned, but the one not believing has already been condemned because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God. 19 Now this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone is doing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, so that his deeds might not be exposed. 21 But the one doing the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds might be revealed, that they have been worked in God.”

22 After these things, Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea, and he tarried there with them and was baptizing. 23 Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because much water was there, and they were coming and were being baptized—24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison. 25 Then a dispute came about from the disciples of John with a Jew concerning ceremonial washing. 26 And they went to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you beyond the Jordan, about whom you had testified, behold, he is baptizing, and they are all going to him.” 27 John replied and said, “A man is not able to receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves testify to me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before that one.’ 29 The one having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, the one having stood and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom. Therefore, this my joy has been made complete. 30 It is necessary for that one to increase, but for me to decrease.

31 The one coming from above is above all things. The one being from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. The one coming from heaven is above all things. 32 He testifies about that which he has seen and heard, but no one receives his testimony. 33 The one having received his testimony has set his seal that God is true. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For he does not give the Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. 36 The one believing in the Son has eternal life, but the one disobeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
