约翰福音 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
人必須重生
3 有一個法利賽人,名叫尼哥德慕,是猶太人的官長。 2 他夜間來到耶穌那裡,對他說:“拉比,我們知道你是從 神那裡來的教師,因為如果沒有 神同在,你所行的這些神蹟,就沒有人能行。” 3 耶穌回答:“我實實在在告訴你,人若不重生,就不能見 神的國。” 4 尼哥德慕說:“人老了,怎能重生呢?難道他能再進母腹生出來嗎?” 5 耶穌回答:“我實實在在告訴你,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 你不要因為我對你說‘你們必須重生’而感到希奇。 8 風隨意而吹,你聽見它的響聲,卻不知道它從哪裡來,往哪裡去;凡從聖靈生的,也是這樣。” 9 尼哥德慕說:“怎能有這事呢?” 10 耶穌說:“你是以色列人的教師,還不明白這事嗎? 11 我實實在在告訴你,我們知道的,才講論;見過的,就作證,然而你們卻不接受我們的見證。 12 我對你們講地上的事,你們尚且不信,如果講天上的事,怎能相信呢? 13 除了那從天上降下來的人子(有些抄本作“除了那從天上降下來仍舊在天上的人子”),沒有人升過天。 14 摩西在曠野怎樣把銅蛇舉起,人子也必照樣被舉起來, 15 使所有信他的人都得永生。
16 “ 神愛世人,甚至把他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信他的,不至滅亡,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,而是要使世人藉著他得救。 18 信他的,不被定罪;不信的,罪已經定了,因為他不信 神獨生子的名。 19 光來到世上,世人因為自己的行為邪惡,不愛光倒愛黑暗,定他們罪的原因,就在這裡。 20 凡作惡的都恨光,不來接近光,免得他的惡行暴露出來。 21 凡行真理的,就來接近光,好顯明他所作的都是靠著 神而作的。”
他必興旺,我必衰微
22 這事以後,耶穌和門徒來到猶太地,他和他們住在那裡,並且施洗。 23 約翰也在靠近撒冷的艾嫩施洗,因為那裡水多;眾人都去受洗。 24 那時約翰還沒有入獄。 25 約翰的門徒和一個猶太人為潔淨禮發生辯論。 26 他們來到約翰那裡,對他說:“拉比,你看,從前和你在約旦河東,你為他作見證的那一位,他也在施洗,眾人都到他那裡去了。” 27 約翰回答:“除了從天上賜下來給他的,人就不能得到甚麼。 28 你們自己可以為我作證:我曾說,我不是基督,不過是奉差遣作他的先鋒的。 29 娶新娘的是新郎。新郎的好友站在那裡聽著,聽見新郎的聲音就非常喜樂。因此,我這喜樂滿溢了! 30 他必興旺,我必衰微。
從天上來的
31 “那從天上來的,是在萬有之上;從地上來的,是屬於地,所講的也是屬於地。那從天上來的,是超越萬有之上。 32 他把所見所聞的見證出來,可是沒有人接受他的見證。 33 那接受他的見證的,就確認 神是真的。 34 神所差來的那一位講 神的話,因為 神把聖靈無限地賜給他。 35 父愛子,已經把萬有交在他手裡。 36 信子的,有永生;不信從子的,必不得見永生, 神的震怒卻常在他身上。”

论重生
3 有一个法利赛人名叫尼哥德慕,是犹太人的官。 2 一天晚上,他来见耶稣,说:“老师,我们知道你是上帝差来教导人的,因为如果没有上帝的同在,没有人能行你所行的神迹。”
3 耶稣说:“我实实在在地告诉你,人若不重生[a],就不能看见上帝的国。”
4 尼哥德慕说:“人老了,怎能重生呢?难道要再进母腹生一次吗?”
5 耶稣说:“我实实在在地告诉你,人如果不是从水和圣灵生的,就不能进上帝的国。 6 从肉体生的还是肉体,从圣灵生的才是灵。 7 所以我说你们必须重生,你不要惊奇。 8 风随意吹动,你听见它的声音,却不知道它从哪里来,往哪里去。凡从圣灵生的人也是这样。”
9 尼哥德慕又问:“这怎么可能呢?”
10 耶稣说:“你是以色列人的教师,还不明白这事吗? 11 我实实在在地告诉你,我们所说的是自己知道的,所见证的是自己见过的,可是你们不肯接受我们的见证。 12 我对你们说地上的事,你们尚且不信,要是说天上的事,你们怎么会信呢? 13 除了从天上降下来的人子[b]以外,没有人到过天上。 14 摩西在旷野怎样举起铜蛇,人子也必照样被举起来, 15 叫一切信祂的人都得到永生。
16 “因为上帝爱世人,甚至将祂独一的儿子赐给他们,叫一切信祂的人不致灭亡,反得永生。 17 上帝差祂的儿子到世上来,不是要定世人的罪,而是要借着祂的儿子拯救世人。 18 信祂的人不会被定罪,不信的人已经被定罪,因为他们不信上帝独一的儿子。 19 光来到世上,世人因为自己的行为邪恶而不爱光,反爱黑暗,这就是他们被定罪的原因。 20 作恶的人恨光,不肯接近光,恐怕他们的罪行暴露出来。 21 但遵行真理的人喜欢接近光,好显明他所做的是靠上帝做的。”
施洗者约翰论耶稣
22 这事之后,耶稣和门徒前往犹太地区,在那里住下来给人施洗。 23-24 那时约翰还没有入狱,他在靠近撒冷的哀嫩也给人施洗。那里水多,众人都去受洗。 25 约翰的门徒和一个犹太人为了洁净的礼仪争辩起来, 26 于是门徒来见约翰,说:“老师,你看,以前在约旦河对岸和你在一起、你为祂做见证的那位在给人施洗,众人都去祂那里了!”
27 约翰回答说:“除非是从天上赏赐下来的,否则人什么都得不到。 28 你们自己可以为我做见证,我说过我不是基督,我只是奉差在祂前面预备道路的。 29 娶新娘的是新郎,站在旁边的朋友听见新郎的声音,就会欢喜快乐。因此,我现在也心满意足了。 30 祂必兴旺,我必衰微。
31 “从天上来的,超越一切;从地上来的,属于地,他所谈论的也不外乎地上的事。那来自天上、超越万物的, 32 要把所见所闻讲给人听,只是没有人接受祂的见证。 33 但已经接受祂见证的人证实了上帝是真实的。 34 上帝所差来的,说的是上帝的话,因为上帝将圣灵无限量地赐给祂。 35 父爱子,已把万物交在祂手里。 36 信子的人有永生;不信子的人得不到永生,上帝的烈怒常在他身上。”

从天上来的
31 “那从天上来的,是在万有之上;从地上来的,是属于地,所讲的也是属于地。那从天上来的,是超越万有之上。 32 他把所见所闻的见证出来,可是没有人接受他的见证。 33 那接受他的见证的,就确认 神是真的。 34 神所差来的那一位讲 神的话,因为 神把圣灵无限地赐给他。 35 父爱子,已经把万有交在他手里。 36 信子的,有永生;不信从子的,必不得见永生, 神的震怒却常在他身上。”
John 3
English Standard Version
You Must Be Born Again
3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named (A)Nicodemus, (B)a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus[a] (C)by night and said to him, (D)“Rabbi, (E)we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do (F)unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is (G)born (H)again[b] he cannot (I)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, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born (J)of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 (K)That which is born of the flesh is (L)flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.[c] 7 (M)Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You[d] must be born (N)again.’ 8 (O)The wind[e] blows (P)where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus said to him, (Q)“How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel (R)and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, (S)we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but (T)you[f] do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 (U)No one has (V)ascended into heaven except (W)he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.[g] 14 And (X)as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man (Y)be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes (Z)in him (AA)may have eternal life.[h]
For God So Loved the World
16 “For (AB)God so loved (AC)the world,[i] (AD)that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not (AE)perish but have eternal life. 17 For (AF)God did not send his Son into the world (AG)to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 (AH)Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not (AI)believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 (AJ)And this is the judgment: (AK)the light has come into the world, and (AL)people loved the darkness rather than the light because (AM)their works were evil. 20 (AN)For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, (AO)lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever (AP)does what is true (AQ)comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
John the Baptist Exalts Christ
22 After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and (AR)was baptizing. 23 John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized 24 (for (AS)John had not yet been put in prison).
25 Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over (AT)purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, (AU)“Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, (AV)to whom you bore witness—look, he is baptizing, and (AW)all are going to him.” 27 John answered, (AX)“A person cannot receive even one thing (AY)unless it is given him (AZ)from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, (BA)‘I am not the Christ, but (BB)I have been sent before him.’ 29 (BC)The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. (BD)The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, (BE)rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 (BF)He must increase, but I must decrease.”[j]
31 (BG)He who comes from above (BH)is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and (BI)speaks in an earthly way. (BJ)He who comes from heaven (BK)is above all. 32 (BL)He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, (BM)yet no one receives his testimony. 33 Whoever receives his testimony (BN)sets his seal to this, (BO)that God is true. 34 For he whom (BP)God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit (BQ)without measure. 35 (BR)The Father loves the Son and (BS)has given all things into his hand. 36 (BT)Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; (BU)whoever does not obey the Son shall not (BV)see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
