約翰福音 3
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
耶穌和尼哥德慕談重生
3 有一個法利賽人,名叫尼哥德慕,是猶太人的官。 2 這人夜裏來見耶穌,對他說:「拉比,我們知道你是由 神那裏來作老師的;因為你所行的神蹟,若沒有 神同在,無人能行。」 3 耶穌回答他說:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不重生[a],就不能見 神的國。」 4 尼哥德慕對他說:「人已經老了,如何能重生呢?豈能再進母腹生出來嗎?」 5 耶穌回答:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不是從水和聖靈生的,就不能進 神的國。 6 從肉身生的就是肉身;從靈生的就是靈。 7 我說『你們必須重生』,你不要驚訝。 8 風[b]隨着意思吹,你聽見風的聲音,卻不知道是從哪裏來,往哪裏去;凡從聖靈生的也是如此。」 9 尼哥德慕問他:「怎麼能有這些事呢?」 10 耶穌回答,對他說:「你是以色列人的老師,還不明白這些事嗎? 11 我實實在在地告訴你,我們所說的是我們知道的,我們所見證的是我們見過的,你們卻不領受我們的見證。 12 我對你們說地上的事,你們尚且不信,若對你們說天上的事,如何能信呢? 13 除了從天降下[c]的人子,沒有人升過天。 14 摩西在曠野怎樣舉蛇,人子也必須照樣被舉起來, 15 要使一切信他的人都得永生。
16 「 神愛世人,甚至將他獨一的兒子[d]賜給他們,叫一切信他的人不致滅亡,反得永生。 17 因為 神差他的兒子到世上來,不是要定世人的罪[e],而是要使世人因他得救。 18 信他的人不被定罪;不信的人已經被定罪了,因為他不信 神獨一兒子的名。 19 光來到世上,世人因自己的行為是惡的,不愛光,倒愛黑暗,這就定了他們的罪。 20 凡作惡的人都恨惡光,不來接近光,恐怕他的行為被暴露。 21 但實行真理的人就來接近光,為要顯明他的行為是靠 神而行的。」
耶穌和施洗約翰
22 這些事以後,耶穌和門徒到了猶太地區,在那裏他和他們同住,並且施洗。 23 約翰也在靠近撒冷的哀嫩施洗,因為那裏水多,眾人都去受洗。 24 那時約翰還沒有下在監裏。
25 約翰的門徒和一個猶太人辯論潔淨的禮儀, 26 就來見約翰,對他說:「拉比,從前同你在約旦河的東邊,你所見證的那位,你看,他在施洗,眾人都到他那裏去了。」 27 約翰回答說:「若不是從天上賜的,人就不能得到甚麼。 28 你們自己可以為我作見證,我曾說,我不是基督,只是奉差遣在他前面開路的。 29 娶新娘的是新郎;新郎的朋友站在一旁聽,一聽見新郎的聲音就歡喜快樂。因此,我這喜樂得以滿足了。 30 他必興旺;我必衰微。」
從天上來的那一位
31 「從上頭來的是在萬有之上;出於地的是屬於地,他所說的也是屬於地。從天上來的是在萬有之上。 32 他把所見所聞的見證出來,只是沒有人領受他的見證。 33 那領受他見證的,就印證 神是真實的。 34 神所差來的說 神的話,因為 神所賜給他的聖靈是沒有限量的。 35 父愛子,已把萬有交在他手裏。 36 信子的人有永生;不信子的人得不到永生,而且 神的憤怒常在他身上。」
Juan 3
Nueva Traducción Viviente
3 Había un hombre llamado Nicodemo, un líder religioso judío, de los fariseos. 2 Una noche, fue a hablar con Jesús:
—Rabí[a]—le dijo—, todos sabemos que Dios te ha enviado para enseñarnos. Las señales milagrosas que haces son la prueba de que Dios está contigo.
3 Jesús le respondió:
—Te digo la verdad, a menos que nazcas de nuevo,[b] no puedes ver el reino de Dios.
4 —¿Qué quieres decir?—exclamó Nicodemo—. ¿Cómo puede un hombre mayor volver al vientre de su madre y nacer de nuevo?
5 Jesús le contestó:
—Te digo la verdad, nadie puede entrar en el reino de Dios si no nace de agua y del Espíritu.[c] 6 El ser humano solo puede reproducir la vida humana, pero la vida espiritual nace del Espíritu Santo.[d] 7 Así que no te sorprendas cuando digo: “Tienen que nacer de nuevo”. 8 El viento sopla hacia donde quiere. De la misma manera que oyes el viento pero no sabes de dónde viene ni adónde va, tampoco puedes explicar cómo las personas nacen del Espíritu.
9 —¿Cómo es posible todo esto?—preguntó Nicodemo.
10 Jesús le contestó:
—¿Tú eres un respetado maestro judío y aún no entiendes estas cosas? 11 Te aseguro que les contamos lo que sabemos y hemos visto, y ustedes todavía se niegan a creer nuestro testimonio. 12 Ahora bien, si no me creen cuando les hablo de cosas terrenales, ¿cómo creerán si les hablo de cosas celestiales? 13 Nadie jamás fue al cielo y regresó, pero el Hijo del Hombre[e] bajó del cielo. 14 Y, así como Moisés levantó la serpiente de bronce en un poste en el desierto, así deberá ser levantado el Hijo del Hombre, 15 para que todo el que crea en él tenga vida eterna.[f]
16 »Pues Dios amó tanto al mundo que dio[g] a su único Hijo, para que todo el que crea en él no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna. 17 Dios no envió a su Hijo al mundo para condenar al mundo, sino para salvarlo por medio de él.
18 »No hay condenación para todo el que cree en él, pero todo el que no cree en él ya ha sido condenado por no haber creído en el único Hijo de Dios. 19 Esta condenación se basa en el siguiente hecho: la luz de Dios llegó al mundo, pero la gente amó más la oscuridad que la luz, porque sus acciones eran malvadas. 20 Todos los que hacen el mal odian la luz y se niegan a acercarse a ella porque temen que sus pecados queden al descubierto, 21 pero los que hacen lo correcto se acercan a la luz, para que otros puedan ver que están haciendo lo que Dios quiere.[h]
Juan el Bautista exalta a Jesús
22 Luego Jesús y sus discípulos salieron de Jerusalén y se fueron al campo de Judea. Jesús pasó un tiempo allí con ellos, bautizando a la gente.
23 En ese tiempo, Juan el Bautista bautizaba en Enón, cerca de Salim, porque allí había mucha agua; y la gente iba a él para ser bautizada. 24 (Eso ocurrió antes de que metieran a Juan en la cárcel). 25 Surgió un debate entre los discípulos de Juan y cierto judío[i] acerca de la purificación ceremonial. 26 Entonces los discípulos de Juan fueron a decirle:
—Rabí, el hombre que estaba contigo al otro lado del río Jordán, a quien identificaste como el Mesías, también está bautizando a la gente. Y todos van a él en lugar de venir a nosotros.
27 Juan respondió:
—Nadie puede recibir nada a menos que Dios se lo conceda desde el cielo. 28 Ustedes saben que les dije claramente: “Yo no soy el Mesías; estoy aquí solamente para prepararle el camino a él”. 29 Es el novio quien se casa con la novia, y el amigo del novio simplemente se alegra de poder estar al lado del novio y oír sus votos. Por lo tanto, oír que él tiene éxito me llena de alegría. 30 Él debe tener cada vez más importancia y yo, menos.
31 »Él vino de lo alto y es superior a cualquier otro. Nosotros somos de la tierra y hablamos de cosas terrenales, pero él vino del cielo y es superior a todos.[j] 32 Él da testimonio de lo que ha visto y oído, ¡pero qué pocos creen en lo que les dice! 33 Todo el que acepta su testimonio puede confirmar que Dios es veraz. 34 Pues él es enviado por Dios y habla las palabras de Dios, porque Dios le da el Espíritu sin límites. 35 El Padre ama a su Hijo y ha puesto todo en sus manos. 36 Los que creen en el Hijo de Dios tienen vida eterna. Los que no obedecen al Hijo nunca tendrán vida eterna, sino que permanecen bajo la ira del juicio de Dios.

John 3
New King James Version
The New Birth
3 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 (A)This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for (B)no one can do these signs that You do unless (C)God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (D)unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (E)unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is (F)flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 (G)The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, (H)“How can these things be?”
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 (I)Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and (J)you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 (K)No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man [b]who is in heaven. 14 (L)And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so (M)must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever (N)believes in Him should [c]not perish but (O)have eternal life. 16 (P)For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten (Q)Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 (R)For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 (S)“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, (T)that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For (U)everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been (V)done in God.”
John the Baptist Exalts Christ
22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them (W)and baptized. 23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near (X)Salim, because there was much water there. (Y)And they came and were baptized. 24 For (Z)John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, (AA)to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all (AB)are coming to Him!”
27 John answered and said, (AC)“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, (AD)‘I am not the Christ,’ but, (AE)‘I have been sent before Him.’ 29 (AF)He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but (AG)the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. 30 (AH)He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 (AI)He who comes from above (AJ)is above all; (AK)he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. (AL)He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 And (AM)what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. 33 He who has received His testimony (AN)has certified that God is true. 34 (AO)For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit (AP)by measure. 35 (AQ)The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 (AR)He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the (AS)wrath of God abides on him.”

The New Birth
3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named (A)Nicodemus, a (B)ruler of the Jews; 2 this man came to [a]Jesus at night and said to Him, “(C)Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these [b](D)signs that You do unless (E)God is with him.” 3 Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone (F)is born [c]again he cannot see (G)the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a person be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of (H)water and the Spirit, he cannot enter (I)the kingdom of God. 6 (J)That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born [d]again.’ 8 (K)The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus responded and said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are (L)the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, (M)we speak of what we know and (N)testify of what we have seen, and (O)you people do not accept 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 (P)No one has ascended into heaven, except (Q)He who descended from heaven: (R)the Son of Man. 14 And just as (S)Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must (T)the Son of Man (U)be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who [e]believes will (V)have eternal life in Him.
16 “For God so (W)loved the world, that He (X)gave His (Y)only Son, so that everyone who (Z)believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God (AA)did not send the Son into the world (AB)to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 (AC)The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of (AD)the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that (AE)the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for (AF)their deeds were evil. 20 (AG)For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. 21 But the one who (AH)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed [f]as having been performed in God.”
John the Baptist’s Last Testimony
22 After these things Jesus and His (AI)disciples came into the land of Judea; and there He was spending time with them and (AJ)baptizing. 23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was an abundance of water there; and people were coming and being baptized— 24 for (AK)John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Then a matter of dispute developed on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about [g](AL)purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “(AM)Rabbi, He who was with you (AN)beyond the Jordan, to whom you (AO)have testified—behold, He is baptizing and all the people are coming to Him.” 27 John replied, “(AP)A person can receive not even one thing unless it (AQ)has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves [h]are my witnesses that I said, ‘(AR)I am not the [i]Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is (AS)the groom; but the friend of the groom, who stands and listens to him, rejoices greatly because of the groom’s voice. So this (AT)joy of mine has been made full. 30 He must [j]increase, but I must [k]decrease.
31 “(AU)He who comes from above is above all; (AV)the one who is only from the earth is of the earth and speaks of the earth. (AW)He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 What He has seen and heard, of this He (AX)testifies; and (AY)no one accepts His testimony. 33 The one who has accepted His testimony (AZ)has certified that God is true. 34 For He whom God (BA)sent speaks the words of God; (BB)for He does not give the Spirit [l]sparingly. 35 (BC)The Father loves the Son and (BD)has entrusted all things to His hand. 36 The one who (BE)believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who (BF)does not [m]obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
