John 3:7-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again.

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.

⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done?

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?

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.

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?

¹³ And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.

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.
