7. “Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You have to be born from above.’
8. “The Spirit breathes where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
9. Naḵdimon answered and said to Him, “How is it possible for this to take place?”

11. “Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak what We know and witness what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

13. “And no one has gone up into the heaven except He who came down from the heaven – the Son of Aḏam.

15. so that whoever is believing in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.
16. “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.
17. “For Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

21. “But the one doing the truth comes to the light, so that his works are clearly seen, that they have been wrought in Elohim.”
