Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” | Jesus answered him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.” |
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, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.” |

Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. | That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is 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 born Son, that whoever believes in him should 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 didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should 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. | He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born 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 he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done 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. | One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. |
