John 3 : 16 - 36
Chapter 3
16 | For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. |
17 | For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. |
18 | "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, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. |
20 | For 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 done in God." |
22 | After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized. |
23 | Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. |
24 | For 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, to whom you have testified--behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!" |
27 | John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. |
28 | You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, "I am not the Christ,' but, "I have been sent before Him.' |
29 | He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but 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 | He must increase, but I must decrease. |
31 | He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. |
32 | And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. |
33 | He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true. |
34 | For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. |
35 | The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. |
36 | He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." |
