| Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” | Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” |
| Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.” | Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” |

| Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. | That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. |
| For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. | For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. |
| For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. | For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. |
| Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. | The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. |
| But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. | But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God. |
| He must become greater; I must become less. | He must increase, but I must decrease. |
| Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. | The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. |
