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?
        5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and
            of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
        6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
            spirit.
        7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
        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?
        10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master 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 I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell
            you of heavenly 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 lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man
            be lifted up:
        15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal 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.
        18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
            already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son 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 every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his
            deeds should be reproved.
         21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
             they are wrought in God.
