\subsection{John 3}
|
|
\subsubsection{Conversation with Nicodemus}
|
|
\lettrine[lraise=0]{N}{ow} there was [a] person\fnAnthropos{} from the Pharisees, [the] name to him [was] Nicodemos, [a] ruler of the Jews.
|
|
\VS{2} This [one] came to him in [the] night and said to him: Rabbi, we know
|
|
that you have come [a] teacher from God, for no one is able to be doing these signs that you are doing unless God be with him.
|
|
\VS{3} Jesus answered
|
|
and said to him: Truly truly I say to you, if someone not be begotten\fnGennao{} from
|
|
above\fnAnothen{}, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.
|
|
\VS{4} Nicodemus says to him: How is [a] person\fnAnthropos{} able to be begotten\fnGennao{} being old?
|
|
Is he able to enter into his mother's belly [a] second time and be begotten\fnGennao{}?\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{}
|
|
|
|
\VS{5} Jesus answered: Truly truly
|
|
I say to you, if someone not be begotten\fnGennao{} from water and spirit\fnPneuma{},
|
|
he is not able to enter%
|
|
\footnote{``enter'': \sinaiticus{}; `''to see'': few} into the kingdom of God.
|
|
\VS{6} That which is begotten from the flesh is
|
|
flesh, and that which is begotten from the spirit is spirit.
|
|
\VS{7} You should not marvel that I said to you\footnote{Singular},
|
|
You must [all]\fnYouPlural{} be begotten from above\fnAnothen{}.
|
|
\VS{8} The wind\fnPneuma{} blows where it wants,
|
|
and you do not know whence it is coming and where it is going,
|
|
in this manner is everyone who has been begotten\fnGennao{} from the spirit\fnPneuma{}.
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} Nicodemos answered and said to him:
|
|
How are these [things] able to come to pass?
|
|
\VS{10} Jesus answered and said to him:
|
|
You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these [things]?
|
|
\VS{11} Truly truly I say to you%
|
|
\footnote{singular}
|
|
that what we have known we speak and what we have seen we testify,
|
|
and our testimony you [all]\fnYouPlural{} do not receive.
|
|
\VS{12} If I told the earthly to you [all]\fnYouPlural{}, and you do not trust,%
|
|
\fnPistis{}
|
|
how will you trust if I tell the heavenly to you?
|
|
\VS{13} And no one has gone up into heaven except the one having come down from heaven,
|
|
the Son of Humanity.%
|
|
\fnAnthropos{}
|
|
\VS{14} And just as Moses lifted up\fnUpsao{} the snake in the wilderness%
|
|
\footnote{See Num.21:5-9},
|
|
in this manner it is necessary for the Son of Humanity to be lifted up,
|
|
\VS{15} so that everyone trusting\fnPistis{} in him may be having zoe-life\fnZoe{} in the [coming] age.%
|
|
\fnAionios{}
|
|
|
|
\VS{16} For God thus%
|
|
\footnote{``Thus'' (OUTOS): can either mean the \textit{degree} ---
|
|
``how much'' God agape-loved the world,
|
|
and/or the \textit{manner} --- ``in what way'' God agape-loved the world.}
|
|
agape-loved the world:
|
|
so that he gave his uniquely-begotten\fnMonogenes{} son,
|
|
so that everyone trusting\fnPistis{} in him not perish but be having
|
|
\zoe{}-life\fnZoe{} in the [coming] age.%
|
|
\fnAionios{}
|
|
\VS{17} For God did not send his son into the world that he judge
|
|
the world, but that the world be saved through him.
|
|
\VS{18} The [one] trusting in him is not judged, the [one]
|
|
not trusting [in him] has already been judged,
|
|
because he has not trusted in the name of the uniquely-begotten\fnMonogenes{} son of God.
|
|
\VS{19} And this is the judgment,
|
|
that the light has come into the world
|
|
and people\fnAnthropos{} agape-loved the darkness rather than the light,
|
|
for their works were wicked\fnPoneros{}.
|
|
\VS{20} For everyone doing\fnPracticing{} worthlessness hates
|
|
the light and does not come to the light, that his works not be rebuked.
|
|
\VS{21} But the [one] doing the truth comes to the
|
|
light, so that his works be revealed that they have been wrought by God.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Further Testimony About Jesus by John the Baptist}
|
|
\VS{22} After these [things] Jesus and his disciples came into the Judean land
|
|
and he remained with them and was baptizing.
|
|
\VS{23} Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim,
|
|
because there was much water there,
|
|
and they were coming and were being baptized.
|
|
\VS{24} For John had not yet been thrown into prison.
|
|
|
|
\VS{25} Now [a] controversy arose from the disciples of John
|
|
with [the] Jews concerning purification.
|
|
\VS{26} And they came to John and said to him:
|
|
Rabbi, [He] who was with you on the other side of the Jordan,
|
|
to whom you have borne witness,
|
|
Behold this [one] baptizes and all come to him.
|
|
|
|
\VS{27} John answered and said:
|
|
[a] person\fnAnthropos{} is able to be receiving \negd{nothing}
|
|
unless it have been given to him from heaven.
|
|
\VS{28} You yourselves bear me witness that I said: I am not the Christ,
|
|
but that I have been sent before that [one].
|
|
\VS{29} The [one] having the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of
|
|
the bridegroom, the [one] who has stood and has heard him, rejoices with joy because
|
|
of the sound of the bridegroom. So my joy has been fulfilled.
|
|
\VS{30} He must be increasing, but I must be diminishing.
|
|
|
|
\VS{31} The [one] coming from above is over all; the [one] being from the
|
|
earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. The [one] being from heaven is over all.
|
|
\VS{32} What he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no one receives his testimony.
|
|
\VS{33} The [one] having received his testimony has set his seal [to this], that God is true.
|
|
\VS{34} For [the one] whom God sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the
|
|
spirit by measure.%
|
|
\footnote{That is, he gives the spirit without measure}
|
|
\VS{35} The father agape-loves the son, and has given everything into his hand.
|
|
\VS{36} The [one] trusting\fnPistis{} in the son has zoe-life\fnZoe{} in the [coming] age,%
|
|
\fnAionios{}
|
|
but the [one] refusing\fnApeitheo{} the son will not see zoe-life\fnZoe{},
|
|
but the wrath of God abides on him.
