The Message of Regeneration, rebirth and new birth
3:1 There was a man of ha Perushim , named Nakdimon, a katzin (leader) of the Yehudim:
3:2 The same came to Yeshua (ישוע) by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from Elohim (אלהים): for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except Elohim (אלהים) be with him.
3:3 Yeshua (ישוע) answered and said unto him,
Truly, Truly, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Malkut Elohim (אלהים).
3:4 Nakdimon saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
3:5 Yeshua (ישוע) answered,
Truly, Truly, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and [of] the Ruach, he cannot enter into the Malkut Elohim (אלהים).
3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Ruach is Spirit.
3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Ruach.
3:9 Nakdimon answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
3:10 Yeshua (ישוע) answered and said unto him,
Art thou a master of Yisrael, and knowest not these things?
3:11 Truly, Truly, I say unto thee,
We speak that we do know, and edut that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?
3:13 And no man hath ascended up to Shamayim, but he that came down from Shamayim, [even] ha Ben Adam which is in Shamayim.
3:14 And as Mosheh lifted up the serpent in bamidbar, even so must ha Ben Adam be lifted up:
3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
3:16 For Elohim (אלהים) so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Ben, that whosoever believeth in Him should not ne'evad (perish) but have Chayim Olam (everlasting life)
3:17 For Elohim (אלהים) sent not His Ben into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. )(אלהים) sent not His Son into the Olam Hazeh to condemn the Olam Hazeh; but that the Olam Hazeh through him might be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten BEN Elohim (אלהים).
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the Olam Hazeh, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in Elohim (אלהים).
3:22 After these things came Yeshua (ישוע) and his Talmidim into the eretz Yehudah; and there he tarried with them, and immersed.
3:23 And Yochanan also was immersing in Einayim near to Shalem, because there was much mayim there: and they came, and were immersed.
3:24 For Yochanan was not yet cast into prison.
3:25 Then there arose a question between [some] of Yochanan's Talmidim and the Yehudim about the subject of tohorah (purification).
3:26 And they came unto Yochanan, and said unto him:
"Rabbi, He who was with thee beyond Yarden, to whom thou have testified, Hinnei, He is immersing, and all [men] come to Him.
3:27 Yochanan answered and said:
A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from Shamayim.
3:28 Ye yourselves bear Me witness, that I said, I am not the Moshiach, but that I am sent before him.
3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this My joy therefore is fulfilled.
3:30 He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from Shamayim is above all.
3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
3:33 He that hath received His Testimony hath set to His seal that Elohim (אלהים) is Emet .
3:34 For he whom Elohim (אלהים) hath sent speaketh the Devarim Elohim (אלהים): for Elohim (אלהים) giveth not the Ruach by measure [unto him].
3:35 Ha AVI loveth the SON, and hath given all things into his hand.
3:36 He that believeth on the SON hath Chayyei Olam (everlasting life): and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of Elohim (אלהים) abideth on him.
