Chapter 3

verses 1-4 (done)
1 Now there was one of the Pharisees whose name was Nicodemus&#8722;a ruler among the Judeans. 2 He came to Jesus by at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do perform these signs which as you are have been doing, unless God is with him.

3 "In all truthfulness, I tell you," answered Jesus, "that unless a man person is born anew again he (or she) cannot see the Kingdom of God."

4 "How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb the second time and be born <B>again</B>?"

verses 5-8 (done)
5 "Again, truthfully I tell you," replied Jesus, "that unless a man <B>person</B> is born of water and the Spirit, he (<B>or she</B>) cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

6 Whatever is born of the flesh <B>woman</B> is flesh <B>of the body</B>, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Do not be astonished at my telling you, `You must all be born anew <B>again</B>.'

8 The wind blows where <B>wherever</B> it chooses; and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So is it with <B>And</B> in the same way everyone who has been born of the Spirit <B>is moved by the Spirit</B>."

verses 9-12 (done)
9 "<B>Still</B>, how is all this possible?" asked Nicodemus.

10 Are you," replied Jesus <B>Jesus answered, saying, "Are you</B> `’the Teacher of Israel,' and yet do you <B>do</B> not understand these things <B>principles</B>?

11 In all truthfulness, I tell you that we speak what we know, and give evidence concerning what we have witnessed, and yet, you all <B>of you</B> reject our testimony.

12 If I have told you of <B>such</B> things on earth and none of you <U>believe</U> me, how will you <U>believe</U> me if I tell you of <B>heavenly</B> things in heaven ?

verses 13-16 (done)
13 There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, except One who has come down from Heaven, namely the Son of Man whose home is in heaven <B>itself</B>.

14 <B>For even</B> And just as Moses lifted high <B>up</B> the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up <B>elevated</B>,

15 in order that every<B>one</B> who <U>believes</U> in Him may have eternal Life."

16 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only born Son, that every<B>one</B> who <U>believes</U> in Him should not perish <B> experience be subject to death</B> but have eternal Life.

verses 17-20 (done)
17 <B>For</B> God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

18 He who believes in Him does not come up for judgement <B><U>Believers</U> in Him do not come under condemnation</B>: He who does not believe has <B>while those who do not <U>believe</U> have</B> already received <B>their judgment</B> sentence, because he has not believed <B>of lack of <U>belief</U></B> in the name <B>person</B> of God's only Son.

19 And <B>Then</B> this is the test by which men are judged <B>judgment process</B> &#8722; <B>that</B> the Light has come into the world, and men <B>people</B> have loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds have been wicked <B>evil</B>.

20 For every wrongdoer hates the <B>L</B>ight, and does not come into it <B>the Light</B>, for fear his/<B>her</B> actions should be exposed.

verses 21-24 (done)
21 But <B>the one</B> he whose actions are true comes into the light, that his/<B>her</B> actions may be plainly shown to have been done <B>through</B> in God.

22 After this, Jesus and His disciples went <B>in</B>to <B>the</B> Judea<B>n countryside</B>; and there He <B>remained</B> stayed in company with them and baptized.

23 And John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there were many pools <B>of water</B> and streams there; and <B>a long procession of</B> people came and received baptism.

24 (For John <B>the Baptist</B> <B>had</B> was not yet <B>been</B> thrown into prison.)

verses 25-30 (done)
25 So <B>At that time</B>, a discussion having arisen on the part of John's disciples <B>had a serious discussion</B> with a Jew <B>Judean partisan</B> about purification, 26 <B>and</B> they came to John and reported to him <B>with the report</B>, "Rabbi, he <B>the one</B> who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, and to <B>about</B> whom you bore testimony is now baptizing, and great numbers of <B>many</B> people are resorting <B>turning</B> to him."

27 "A man cannot obtain <B>gain</B> anything," replied John, "unless it has been granted to <B>given him</B> from Heaven.

28 You yourselves can bear witness to my having <B>were there when I</B> said, `I am not the Christ,' but, `I am His appointed <B>acknowledged</B> forerunner.'

29 He who has <B>is with</B> the bride is the bridegroom; and <B>even so,</B> the bridegroom's friend who stands <B>expectantly</B> by his side and listens to him, rejoices heartily <B>greatly</B> on <B>upon</B> account of <B>hearing</B> the bridegroom's voice. This is <B>In this</B> my joy <B>is</B> now complete. 30 He must grow greater <B>His work must increase</B>, but I must grow less <B>and mine must decrease</B>.

verses 31-36 (done)
31 He who comes from above is above all. He who springs <B>comes</B> from the earth not only springs from the earth, but speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 What He has seen and heard, to that He bears witness <B>gives testimony</B>; but His evidence no one accepts.

33 Any <B>All</B> man who has accept ed His testimony has <B>have</B> solemnly declared <B>set their seal on the declaration</B> that God is true.

34 For <B>He is the One</B> whom God has sent <B>and</B> speaks God's words; <B>for</B> God does not give the Spirit in sparing <B>small</B> measure."

35 The Father loves the Son and has entrusted <B>placed</B> everything <B>in</B> to His hands.

36 He <B>Those</B> who <U>believe</U> in the Son has <B>have</B> eternal Life; he <B>those</B> who do es not <U>believe</U> the Son will not see <B>experience that</B> Life, but <B>bear the brunt of</B> God's anger remains upon him.
