ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 3:1-8

SBL Greek New Testament (SBLGNT)

 ¹ Ἦν δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων, Νικόδημος ὄνομα αὐτῷ, ἄρχων τῶν Ἰουδαίων· ² οὗτος ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ῥαββί, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἐλήλυθας διδάσκαλος· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ^[a]δύναται ταῦτα τὰ σημεῖα ποιεῖν ἃ σὺ ποιεῖς, ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ θεὸς μετ’ αὐτοῦ. ^3 [b]ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ἐὰν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἄνωθεν, οὐ δύναται ἰδεῖν τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ. ⁴ λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ^[c]ὁ Νικόδημος· Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος γεννηθῆναι γέρων ὤν; μὴ δύναται εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ δεύτερον εἰσελθεῖν καὶ γεννηθῆναι; ^5 [d]ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ἐὰν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ πνεύματος, οὐ δύναται εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ. ⁶ τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς σάρξ ἐστιν, καὶ τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος πνεῦμά ἐστιν. ⁷ μὴ θαυμάσῃς ὅτι εἶπόν σοι Δεῖ ὑμᾶς γεννηθῆναι ἄνωθεν. ⁸ τὸ πνεῦμα ὅπου θέλει πνεῖ, καὶ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἀκούεις, ἀλλ’ οὐκ οἶδας πόθεν ἔρχεται καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγει· οὕτως ἐστὶν πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος.

John 3:1-8

My Literal Translation

¹ There was now a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews; ²this one came to him (Jesus) by night and said to him; “Teacher, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one [a] is able to do these miracles/signs which you do, unless God is with him. ³ [b] Jesus answered and said to him; “Truly truly I say to you, unless a man was born again/from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.” ⁴Nicodemus says to him, “How is a man able to be born being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his the mother second time and be born?” ⁵ Jesus answered; “Truly truly I say to you, unless one should be born out of water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That having been born out of the flesh is flesh, and that having been born out of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ You should not marvel that I said to you, “It is necessary you have to be born again. ⁸The wind blows where it wishes, and the sound of it your hear, but you know not from where [from what place] it comes and where it goes;  In this way/ [so] it is with every one having been born out of the Spirit.”
