2 Kings 15-16
Maori Bible
15 No te rua tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Ieropoama kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Ataria tama a Amatia, kingi o Hura.
2 Tekau ma ono ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a e rima tekau ma rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Iekoria, no Hiruharama.
3 A i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Amatia, tona papa.
4 Otiia kihai i whakakahoretia nga wahi tiketike: i patu whakahere tonu ano te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.
5 Na pakia ana te kingi e Ihowa, a he repera ia a mate noa, a noho ana ia i te whare wehe ke. Na ko Iotama, ko te tama a te kingi, te rangatira o te whare, hei kaiwhakarite mo te iwi o te whenua.
6 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Ataria me ana mahi katoa, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
7 Na ka moe a Ataria ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Iotama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
8 No te toru tekau ma waru o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Hakaraia tama a Ieropoama ki a Iharaira, ki Hamaria, e ono nga marama.
9 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki ta ona matua i mea ai: kihai i mahue i a ia nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.
10 Na ka whakatupu a Harumu tama a Iapehe i te he mona, a patua ana e ia i te aroaro o te iwi, whakamatea iho, a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.
11 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hakaraia, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.
12 Ko te kupu hoki tena a Ihowa i korero ai ia ki a Iehu, i mea ai, E wha nga whakatupuranga o au tama e noho ki te torona o Iharaira. Na koia rawa ano ia.
13 No te toru tekau ma iwa o nga tau o Utia kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Harumu tama a Iapehe, a kotahi tino marama i kingi ai ia ki Hamaria.
14 Na haere ake ana a Menaheme tama a Kari i Tirita, tae tonu ki Hamaria, patua iho e ia, a Harumu tama a Iapehe ki Hamaria, whakamatea iho; a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.
15 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Harumu me tana he i whakatupuria e ia, nana kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.
16 Na ka patua e Menaheme a Tipiha me nga mea katoa i roto, me ona rohe katoa, o Tirita mai ano; mo ratou kihai i uaki ki a ia; koia i patua ai. Ripiripia ake hoki e ia nga wahine hapu katoa o reira.
17 No te toru tekau ma iwa o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Menaheme tama a Kari ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a kotahi tekau ona tau i kingi ai.
18 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa. Kihai i mahue i a ia i ona ra katoa nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i mea nei i a Iharaira kia hara.
19 Na ka whakaekea te whenua e Puru kingi o Ahiria; a ka hoatu e Menaheme etahi taranata hiriwa kotahi mano ki a Puru, kia ai ai tona ringa hei awhina mona, kia u ai te kingitanga ki tona ringa.
20 Na tangohia ana e Menaheme te hiriwa i a Iharaira, i nga tangata taonga nui katoa, hei hoatu mana ki te kingi o Ahiria: e rima tekau hekere a tenei, a tenei. Na hoki ana te kingi o Ahiria, kihai hoki i noho ki taua whenua.
21 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Menaheme me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
22 Na ka moe a Menaheme ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Pekahia te kingi i muri i a ia.
23 No te rima tekau o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Pekahia tama a Menaheme ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai.
24 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa: kihai hoki i mahue i a ia nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.
25 Na ka whakatupuria he he mona e tetahi o ana rangatira, e Peka tama a Remaria, patua iho ia ki Hamaria ki te tino wahi o te whare o te kingi, ratou ko Arakopa, ko Arie, me ona hoa, nga Kireari, e rima tekau tangata. Na whakamatea ana ia e ia, ko ia ano te kingi i muri i a ia.
26 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Pekahia me ana mahi katoa, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.
27 No te rima tekau ma rua o nga tau o Ataria kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Peka tama a Remaria ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria, a e rua tekau nga tau i kingi ai.
28 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; kihai i mahue i a ia nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira.
29 I nga ra o Peka kingi o Iharaira, ka haere mai a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria, a riro ana i a ia a Iiono, a Apere Petemaaka, a Ianoa, a Kerehe, a Hatoro, a Kireara, a Kariri, te whenua katoa o Napatari, whakahekea atu ana ratou e ia ki Ahiri a.
30 Na ka whakatupu a Hohea tama a Eraha i te he mo Peka tama a Remaria, patua iho e ia, whakamatea iho; a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia, i te rua tekau o nga tau o Iotama tama a Utia.
31 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Peka me ana mahi katoa, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira.
32 No te rua o nga tau o Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Iotama tama a Utia kingi o Hura.
33 E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i a ia ka kingi nei, a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ieruha, he tamahine na Haroko.
34 A i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ana mahi ki nga mea katoa a tona papa, a Utia.
35 Ko nga wahi tiketike ia kihai i whakakahoretia: i patu whakahere tonu te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike. Nana i hanga te kuwaha o runga o te whare o Ihowa.
36 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iotama me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
37 I aua ra ka timata a Ihowa te unga i a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria ki a Hura.
38 Na ka moe a Iotama ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te pa o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a ko Ahata, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
16 No te tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Peka tama a Remaria i kingi ai a Ahata tama a Iotama kingi o Hura.
2 E rua tekau nga tau o Ahata i a ia ka kingi nei; a kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. Na kihai i tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua, kihai i rite ki ta tona tupuna, ki ta Rawiri.
3 Engari i haere ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, i mea hoki i tana tama kia tika na waenganui o te ahi, kia pera me nga meatanga whakarihariha a nga tauiwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
4 A i patu whakahere ia, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike, ki nga pukepuke, ki raro i nga rakau kouru nui.
5 Katahi ka haere mai a Retini kingi o Hiria raua ko Peka tama a Remaria kingi o Iharaira ki Hiruharama, whawhai ai. Na whakapaea ana a Ahata e raua, otiia kihai i hinga i a raua.
6 I taua wa ka whakahokia e Retini kingi o Hiria a Erata ki Hiria, a peia ana nga Hurai i Erata: na haere mai ana nga Hiriani ki Erata, a nohoia ana a reira a taea noatia tenei ra.
7 Heoi tukua ana e Ahata he karere ki a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria hei ki atu, He pononga ahau nau, he tama hoki; haere mai, whakaorangia ahau i te ringa o te kingi o Hiria, i te ringa ano o te kingi o Iharaira, kua whakatika mai nei ki ahau.
8 Na ka mau a Ahata ki te hiriwa, ki te koura i kitea ki te whare o Ihowa, ki nga taonga hoki o te whare o te kingi, a tukua ana e ia kia kawea hei hakari ki te kingi o Ahiria.
9 Na rongo ana te kingi o Ahiria ki a ia: a haere ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ramahiku, a riro ana i a ia, whakahekea ana e ia ona tangata ki Kiri, a patua ana a Retini.
10 Na haere ana a Kingi Ahata ki Ramahiku ki te whakatau i a Tikirata Pirehere kingi o Ahiria, a ka kite i te aata i Ramahiku: na ka tukua e Kingi Ahata ki a Uria tohunga te ahua o taua aata, me tona tauira me ona mahinga katoa.
11 Na ka hanga e te tohunga, e Uria, he aata: rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i tukua mai nei e Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku ta te tohunga, ta Uria i mahi ai, mo te tae rawa mai o Kingi Ahata i Ramahiku.
12 A, no te taenga mai o te kingi i Ramahiku, ka kite te kingi i te aata: a ka whakatata te kingi ki te aata, ka tapae whakahere i runga.
13 Na ka tahuna e ia tana tahunga tinana me tana whakahere totokore, ka ringihia tana ringihanga, a tauhiuhia ana nga toto o ana whakahere mo te pai ki runga ki te aata.
14 Na, ko te aata parahi, ko tera i te aroaro o Ihowa, nekehia mai ana e ia i mua o te whare, i te takiwa o tana aata, o te whare o Ihowa, a whakaturia ana ki te taha tuaraki o tana aata.
15 A ka whakahau a Kingi Ahata i te tohunga, i a Uria, ka mea, Tahuna ki te aata nui te tahunga tinana o te ata, te whakahere totokore o te ahiahi, te tahunga tinana a te kingi, me tana whakahere totokore, te tahunga tinana hoki a te iwi katoa o te whenua, me ta ratou whakahere totokore me a ratou ringihanga; a me tauhiuhi ano ki reira nga toto katoa o te tahunga tinana, me nga toto katoa o te patunga tapu: engari ko te aata parahi hei mea ui maku.
16 Na rite tonu ta Uria tohunga i mea ai ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Kingi Ahata.
17 I tapahia hoki e Kingi Ahata nga awhi o nga turanga, tangohia ana e ia te takotoranga wai o runga o aua mea; i tangohia ano e ia te moana i runga i nga kau parahi, i era i raro i taua moana, a whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te whariki kohatu;
18 A ko te taupoki mo te hapati i hanga nei ki roto ki te whare, me te tomokanga o te kingi i waho, whakaangahia ana e ia ki te whare o Ihowa, he whakaaro ki te kingi o Ahiria.
19 Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Ahata, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
20 Na ka moe a Ahata ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua, ki te pa o Rawiri: a ko Hetekia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

2 Kings 15-16
New International Version
Azariah King of Judah(A)
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah[a](B) son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign. 2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 3 He did what was right(C) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 4 The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
5 The Lord afflicted(D) the king with leprosy[b] until the day he died, and he lived in a separate house.[c](E) Jotham(F) the king’s son had charge of the palace(G) and governed the people of the land.
6 As for the other events of Azariah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 7 Azariah rested(H) with his ancestors and was buried near them in the City of David. And Jotham(I) his son succeeded him as king.
Zechariah King of Israel
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned six months. 9 He did evil(J) in the eyes of the Lord, as his predecessors had done. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
10 Shallum son of Jabesh conspired against Zechariah. He attacked him in front of the people,[d] assassinated(K) him and succeeded him as king. 11 The other events of Zechariah’s reign are written in the book of the annals(L) of the kings of Israel. 12 So the word of the Lord spoken to Jehu was fulfilled:(M) “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”[e]
Shallum King of Israel
13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned in Samaria(N) one month. 14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went from Tirzah(O) up to Samaria. He attacked Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, assassinated(P) him and succeeded him as king.
15 The other events of Shallum’s reign, and the conspiracy he led, are written in the book of the annals(Q) of the kings of Israel.
16 At that time Menahem, starting out from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah(R) and everyone in the city and its vicinity, because they refused to open(S) their gates. He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.
Menahem King of Israel
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria ten years. 18 He did evil(T) in the eyes of the Lord. During his entire reign he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
19 Then Pul[f](U) king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave him a thousand talents[g] of silver to gain his support and strengthen his own hold on the kingdom. 20 Menahem exacted this money from Israel. Every wealthy person had to contribute fifty shekels[h] of silver to be given to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew(V) and stayed in the land no longer.
21 As for the other events of Menahem’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 22 Menahem rested with his ancestors. And Pekahiah his son succeeded him as king.
Pekahiah King of Israel
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned two years. 24 Pekahiah did evil(W) in the eyes of the Lord. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit. 25 One of his chief officers, Pekah(X) son of Remaliah, conspired against him. Taking fifty men of Gilead with him, he assassinated(Y) Pekahiah, along with Argob and Arieh, in the citadel of the royal palace at Samaria. So Pekah killed Pekahiah and succeeded him as king.
26 The other events of Pekahiah’s reign, and all he did, are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.
Pekah King of Israel
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah(Z) son of Remaliah(AA) became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twenty years. 28 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
29 In the time of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser(AB) king of Assyria came and took Ijon,(AC) Abel Beth Maakah, Janoah, Kedesh and Hazor. He took Gilead and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali,(AD) and deported(AE) the people to Assyria. 30 Then Hoshea(AF) son of Elah conspired against Pekah son of Remaliah. He attacked and assassinated(AG) him, and then succeeded him as king in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.
31 As for the other events of Pekah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals(AH) of the kings of Israel?
Jotham King of Judah(AI)
32 In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham(AJ) son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. 33 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 34 He did what was right(AK) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done. 35 The high places,(AL) however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there. Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate(AM) of the temple of the Lord.
36 As for the other events of Jotham’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 37 (In those days the Lord began to send Rezin(AN) king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.) 38 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David, the city of his father. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.
Ahaz King of Judah(AO)
16 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz(AP) son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. 2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right(AQ) in the eyes of the Lord his God. 3 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel(AR) and even sacrificed his son(AS) in the fire, engaging in the detestable(AT) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense(AU) at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree.(AV)
5 Then Rezin(AW) king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem and besieged Ahaz, but they could not overpower him. 6 At that time, Rezin(AX) king of Aram recovered Elath(AY) for Aram by driving out the people of Judah. Edomites then moved into Elath and have lived there to this day.
7 Ahaz sent messengers to say to Tiglath-Pileser(AZ) king of Assyria, “I am your servant and vassal. Come up and save(BA) me out of the hand of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a gift(BB) to the king of Assyria. 9 The king of Assyria complied by attacking Damascus(BC) and capturing it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir(BD) and put Rezin to death.
10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus and sent to Uriah(BE) the priest a sketch of the altar, with detailed plans for its construction. 11 So Uriah the priest built an altar in accordance with all the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus and finished it before King Ahaz returned. 12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings[i](BF) on it. 13 He offered up his burnt offering(BG) and grain offering,(BH) poured out his drink offering,(BI) and splashed the blood of his fellowship offerings(BJ) against the altar. 14 As for the bronze altar(BK) that stood before the Lord, he brought it from the front of the temple—from between the new altar and the temple of the Lord—and put it on the north side of the new altar.
15 King Ahaz then gave these orders to Uriah the priest: “On the large new altar, offer the morning(BL) burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. Splash against this altar the blood of all the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar for seeking guidance.”(BM) 16 And Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had ordered.
17 King Ahaz cut off the side panels and removed the basins from the movable stands. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls that supported it and set it on a stone base.(BN) 18 He took away the Sabbath canopy[j] that had been built at the temple and removed the royal entryway outside the temple of the Lord, in deference to the king of Assyria.(BO)
19 As for the other events of the reign of Ahaz, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 20 Ahaz rested(BP) with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king.

3 Na he tangata tera no nga Parihi, ko Nikorima tona ingoa, he rangatira no nga Hurai:
2 Ka haere mai tenei ki a Ihu i te po, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, e matau ana matou i haere mai koe i te Atua hei kaiwhakaako, ina hoki e kore tetahi tangata e ahei te mea i enei merekara e meatia nei e koe, ki te kahore te Atua i a ia.
3 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, he pono, he pono, taku e mea nei ki a koe, Ki te kahore te tangata e whanau hou, e kore ia e ahei te kite i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
4 Ka mea a Nikorima ki a ia, Me pehea ka whanau ai te tangata i tona koroheketanga? e taea ranei te tuarua o nga haerenga ki roto ki te kopu o tona whaea, whanau mai ai?
5 Ka whakahokia e Ihu, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, Ki te kahore te tangata e whanau i te wai, i te Wairua hoki, e kore ia e ahei te tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
6 Ko ta te kikokiko e whanau ai he kikokiko; ko ta te Wairua e whanau ai he wairua.
7 Aua ra e miharo ki taku i mea nei ki a koe, he mea tuturu tenei kia whanau hou koutou.
8 E pupuhi ana te hau ki tana wahi e pai ai, ka rongo hoki koe ki tona haruru, otiia e kore e mohiotia e koe te wahi i puta mai ai, e tae atu ai ranei: ko te ritenga tenei ki te hunga katoa ka whanau i te Wairua.
9 Ka whakahoki a Nikorima, ka mea ki a ia, Me pehea ka taea ai enei mea?
10 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe te Kaiwhakaako o Iharaira, a kahore i matau ki enei mea?
11 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, E korerotia ana e matou ta matou i matau ai, e whakaaturia ana ta matou i kite ai; heoi, e kore koutou e tango ki ta matou whakaaturanga.
12 Ki te mea kua korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea o te whenua, a kahore koutou e whakapono, me pehea ka whakapono ai ki te korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea o te rangi?
13 Kahore hoki he tangata i kake noa ki te rangi, ko ia anake i heke iho i te rangi, ara ko te Tama a te tangata, e noho mai nei i te rangi.
14 Ka rite hoki ki ta Mohi whakairinga i te nakahi i te koraha, kua takoto te tikanga kia pera te whakairinga o te Tama a te tangata.
15 Kia kahore ai e ngaro te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia, engari kia whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu.
16 Koia ano te aroha o te Atua ki te ao, homai ana e ia tana Tama kotahi, kia kahore ai e ngaro te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia, engari kia whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu.
17 Kihai hoki te Atua i tono mai i tana Tama ki te ao ki te whakahe i te ao; engari kia ora ai te ao i a ia.
18 Ko ia e whakapono ana ki a ia, e kore e tau te he ki a ia: tena ko ia e kore e whakapono, kua whakahengia noatia ake, mona kihai i whakapono ki te ingoa o te Tama kotahi a te Atua.

Jesus Teaches Nicodemus
3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus(A) who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.(B) 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi,(C) we know(D) that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs(E) you are doing if God were not with him.”(F)
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”(G)
4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.(H) 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.(I) 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d](J)
9 “How can this be?”(K) Nicodemus asked.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,”(L) said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know,(M) and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.(N) 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven(O) except the one who came from heaven(P)—the Son of Man.[e](Q) 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,(R) so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f](S) 15 that everyone who believes(T) may have eternal life in him.”[g](U)
16 For God so loved(V) the world that he gave(W) his one and only Son,(X) that whoever believes(Y) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(Z) 17 For God did not send his Son into the world(AA) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.(AB) 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned,(AC) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.(AD)
