有一个法利赛人，名叫尼哥底母，是犹太人的官。 这人夜里来见耶稣，说，拉比，我们知道你是由神那里来作师傅的。因为你所行的神迹，若没有神同在，无人能行。 耶稣回答说，我实实在在地告诉你，人若不重生，就不能见神的国。 尼哥底母说，人已经老了，如何能重生呢？岂能再进母腹生出来吗？ 耶稣说，我实实在在地告诉你，人若不是从水和圣灵生的，就不能进神的国。 从肉身生的，就是肉身。从灵生的，就是灵。 我说，你们必须重生，你不要以为希奇。 风随着意思吹，你听见风的响声，却不晓得从哪里来，往哪里去。凡从圣灵生的，也是如此。 尼哥底母问他说，怎能有这事呢？ 耶稣回答说，你是以色列人的先生，还不明白这事吗？ 我实实在在地告诉你，我们所说的，是我们知道的，我们所见证的，是我们见过的。你们却不领受我们的见证。 我对你们说地上的事，你们尚且不信，若说天上的事，如何能信呢？ 除了从天降下仍旧在天的人子，没有人升过天。 摩西在旷野怎样举蛇，人子也必照样被举起来。 叫一切信他的都得永生。（或作叫一切信的人在他里面得永生） 神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。 因为神差他的儿子降世，不是要定世人的罪，（或作审判世人下同）乃是要叫世人因他得救。 信他的人，不被定罪。不信的人，罪已经定了，因为他不信神独生子的名。 光来到世间，世人因自己的行为是恶的，不爱光倒爱黑暗，定他们的罪就是在此。 凡作恶的便恨光，并不来就光，恐怕他的行为受责备。 但行真理的必来就光，要显明他所行的是靠神而行。 ( 约翰 3:1-21)

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him." Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicode'mus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.' The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit." Nicode'mus said to him, "How can this be?" Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen; but you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life." For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God." ( John 3:1-21) |
