3:7. Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again. 3:8. The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit. 3:9. Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be done? 3:10. Jesus answered and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? 3:11. Amen, amen, I say to thee that we speak what we know and we testify what we have seen: and you receive not our testimony. 3:12. If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not: how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things? 3:13. And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. 3:14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up: 3:15. That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. 3:16. For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. 3:17. For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. 3:18. He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Is not judged... He that believeth, viz., by a faith working through charity, is not judged, that is, is not condemned; but the obstinate unbeliever is judged, that is, condemned already, by retrenching himself from the society of Christ and his church. 3:19. And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil. The judgment... That is, the cause of his comdemnation. 3:20. For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved. 3:21. But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God. He that doth truth... that is, he that acteth according to truth, which here signifies the Law of God. Thy law is truth. Psa. 118. 142. 3:22. After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them and baptized. 3:23. And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim: because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. 3:24. For John was not yet cast into prison. 3:25. And there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews, concerning purification. 3:26. And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony: behold, he baptizeth and all men come to him. 3:27. John answered and said: A man cannot receive any thing, unless it be given him from heaven. 3:28. You yourselves do bear me witness that I said that I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
