约翰福音 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
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。”

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 Jesus by night and said to Him, “(C)Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these [a](D)signs that You do unless (E)God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one (F)is born [b]again he cannot see (G)the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of (H)water and the Spirit he cannot enter into (I)the kingdom of God. 6 (J)That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born [c]again.’ 8 (K)The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you (L)the teacher of Israel and 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 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, but (Q)He who descended from heaven: (R)the Son of Man. 14 As (S)Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must (T)the Son of Man (U)be lifted up; 15 so that whoever [d]believes will (V)in Him have eternal life.
16 “For God so (W)loved the world, that He (X)gave His [e](Y)only begotten Son, that whoever (Z)believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God (AA)did not send the Son into the world (AB)to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 (AC)He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of (AD)the [f]only begotten Son of God. 19 This is the judgment, that (AE)the Light has come into the world, and men 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 for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But he who (AH)practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
John’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 John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people were coming and were being baptized— 24 for (AK)John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Therefore there arose a discussion on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about (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 are coming to Him.” 27 John answered and said, “(AP)A man can receive nothing unless it (AQ)has been given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves [g]are my witnesses that I said, ‘(AR)I am not the [h]Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is (AS)the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this (AT)joy of mine has been made full. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 “(AU)He who comes from above is above all, (AV)he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. (AW)He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 What He has seen and heard, of that He (AX)testifies; and (AY)no one receives His testimony. 33 He who has received His testimony (AZ)has set his seal to this, that God is true. 34 For He whom God has (BA)sent speaks the words of God; [i](BB)for He gives the Spirit without measure. 35 (BC)The Father loves the Son and (BD)has given all things into His hand. 36 He who (BE)believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who (BF)does not [j]obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

約 翰 福 音 3
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣与尼哥底母
3 有个法利赛人，名叫尼哥底母，他是犹太人的一位首领。 2 夜里，他来见耶稣，说∶“拉比（老师），我们知道您是来自上帝的老师，因为假如上帝不与您同在，没人能行您行的神迹。”
3 耶稣回答道∶“我实话告诉你，如果一个人不重生，就不能在上帝的王国占有一席之地。”
4 尼哥底母说∶“一个人老了，怎么能重生呢？他自然不可能第二次投胎再生了！”
5 耶稣回答说∶“我实话告诉你，如果一个人不从水和灵中出生，他就不能进入上帝的王国； 6 从肉体出生的是肉体；从灵出生的是灵。 7 所以，当我告诉你∶‘你们必须重生’时，你不必感到奇怪。 8 风任随它意吹拂，你可以听到风声，却不知它从哪儿来，到哪儿去。由圣灵所生的人也是如此。”
9 尼哥底母问∶“怎么会是这样的呢？”
10 耶稣回答说∶“你是以色列人的老师，难道你也不明白吗？ 11 我实话告诉你，我们说的是我们知道的，我们讲的是我们所见的，但是你们却不接受我们的证言。 12 我告诉你们尘世上的事情，你们不相信，那么，如果我告诉你们天上的事情，你们又怎么能相信呢？ 13 除了从天降临的那位－人子之外，没有人升过天。
14 正如摩西在旷野里举起蛇一样，人子也必照样被举起， 15 目的是让所有信仰他的人得到永生。”
16 因为，上帝非常爱世人，他甚至献出了自己唯一的儿子，以便使每一个信仰他（儿子）的人不会灭亡，而获永生。 17 上帝派他的儿子到世上来，不是为了给世人定罪，而是要通过他使世人得到拯救。 18 凡是信仰他的人，都不会被定罪，不信仰他的人已被定罪，因为他们不信仰上帝唯一的儿子。 19 定罪的事实是：光明已来到这个世界，可是人们却情愿要黑暗，而不要光明，因为他们做的事是邪恶的。 20 凡是干坏事的人都憎恨光明。他不到光明里来，免得他的劣迹被暴露。 21 但是，那些遵循真理的人到光明里来，光明使他们通过上帝做过的工作显示的清清楚楚。 [a]
耶稣与施洗者约翰
22 此后，耶稣和门徒们来到犹太地区，他在那里和他们共度时光，为人们施洗礼。 23 约翰在撒冷附近的哀嫩也为人们施洗礼，因为那里水很多。人们不断地来到约翰那里，接受洗礼， 24 （那时，约翰还没有被关进监狱。）
25 当时，约翰的门徒和一个犹太人针对洁净仪式一事发生了争论， 26 他们来到约翰那里，对他说∶“拉比（老师），从前在约旦河对岸和您在一起的那个人，也就是您为他作证的那个人，现在正给人们施洗礼呢，人们都纷纷到他那里去了。”
27 约翰回答说∶“除非上天所赐，否则，人不会领受到任何事情。 28 你们自己可以证明我说过∶‘我不是基督，我只不过是在他之前被派来的。’ 29 和新娘结婚的是新郎，但是，新郎的傧相等在那里，倾听新郎的动静。他一听见新郎的的声音，就非常高兴。我现在充满了快乐， 30 他必须变得越来越伟大，我必须变得越来越渺小。”
来自天上的那位
31 “来自天上的他高于一切，来自尘世的属于尘世，他所说的一切也都来自尘世。但是来自天堂的他高于一切。
32 他证明了自己的所见所闻，但是，却没有人愿意接受他的见证。 33 接受基督见证的人证明了上帝是真实的。 34 因为上帝派来的他（耶稣），说上帝说的话。上帝赐给他的灵 [b]是无限的。 35 父爱他的儿子，把一切都交到了他的手中。 36 信仰圣子的人得以永生，不服从圣子的人将看不到永生，相反，上帝的愤怒会始终伴随着他。

King James Version
3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The 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.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus 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?
5 Jesus 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.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The 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.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He 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.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
