The Emphasized Bible
John 3:1-36

John

3 There was however a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name,—ruler of the Jews.

2 The same came unto him by night, and said unto him—Rabbi! we know that from God thou hast come, a teacher; For no one can be doing these signs which thou art doing except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him—Verily, verily I say unto thee: Except one be born from above He cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him—How can a man be born when he is old? Can he into the womb of his mother a second time enter and be born?

5 Jesus answered—Verily, verily I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit He cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which hath been born of the flesh is flesh; And that which hath been born of the spirit is spirit.

7 Do not marvel that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.

8 The spirit where it pleaseth doth breathe, And the sound thereof thou hearest; But knowest not whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus is every one who hath been born of the spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him—How can these things come about?

10 Jesus answered and said unto him—Art thou the teacher of Israel, and these things knowest not?

11 Verily, verily I say unto thee: What we know we speak, And of what we have seen we bear witness,—And our witness ye receive not.

12 If the earthly things I told you, and ye believe not How if I should tell you the heavenly things will ye believe?

13 And no one hath ascended into heaven, Save he that out of heaven descended,—The Son of Man.

14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert So must the Son of Man be lifted up,—

15 That whosoever believeth in him May have life age-abiding.

16 For God so loved the world That his Only Begotten Son he gave,—That whosoever believeth on him Might not perish But have life age-abiding.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world That he might judge the world, But that the world might be saved through him.

18 He that believeth on him is not to be judged: He that believeth not already hath been judged,—Because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the judgment: That the light hath come into the world,—And men loved rather the darkness than the light, For wicked were their works.

20 For whosoever doth practise corrupt things Hateth the light And cometh not unto the light, Lest his works should be reproved;

21 But he that doeth the truth Cometh unto the light, That his works may be made manifest, That in God have they been wrought.

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the Judaean land; and there was he tarrying with them and immersing.

23 And John also was immersing in AEnon near to Salim, because many waters were there; and they were coming and being immersed;—

24 for not yet had John been cast into prison.

25 There arose therefore a questioning, from among the disciples of John with a Jew,—concerning purification.

26 And they came unto John, and said unto him—Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom thou hast borne witness see! the same is immersing; and all are coming unto him.

27 John answered and said—A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.

28 Ye yourselves unto me bear witness, that I said—I am not the Christ; but—I am sent before That One.

29 He that hath the bride is bridegroom; But the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him greatly rejoiceth by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.

30 That One it behoveth to increase,—But me to decrease.

31 He that from above doth come Over all is: He that is of the earth Of the earth is, And of the earth doth speak: He that out of heaven doth come Over all is,

32 What he hath seen and heard Of the same he beareth witness,—And his witness no one receiveth:—

33 He that hath received his witness Hath set seal—That God is true.

34 For he whom God hath sent The sayings of God doth speak; For not by measure giveth he the Spirit.

35 The Father loveth the Son, And all things hath given into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son Hath life age-abiding: Whereas he that yieldeth not unto the Son Shall not see life,—But the anger of God awaiteth him.
