² οὗτος ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ῥαββεί, οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἐλήλυθας διδάσκαλος· οὐδεὶς γὰρ δύναται ταῦτα τὰ σημεῖα ποιεῖν ἃ σὺ ποιεῖς, ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ θεὸς μετ’ αὐτοῦ. ohytos ēlthen pros ayton nyktos kai eipen aytō· hrabbei, oidamen hoti apo theoy elēlythas didaskalos· oydeis gar dynatai tayta ta sēmeia poiein ha sy poieis, ean mē ē ho theos met’ aytoy.

⁶ τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς σάρξ ἐστιν, καὶ τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος πνεῦμά ἐστιν. to gegennēmenon ek tēs sarkos sarx estin, kai to gegennēmenon ek toy pneymatos pneyma estin.

⁷ μὴ θαυμάσῃς ὅτι εἶπόν σοι· δεῖ ὑμᾶς γεννηθῆναι ἄνωθεν. mē thaymasēs hoti eipon soi· dei hymas gennēthēnai anōthen.

⁸ τὸ πνεῦμα ὅπου θέλει πνεῖ, καὶ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἀκούεις, ἀλλ’ οὐκ οἶδας πόθεν ἔρχεται καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγει· οὕτως ἐστὶν πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ πνεύματος. to pneyma hopoy thelei pnei, kai tēn phōnēn aytoy akoyeis, all’ oyk oidas pothen erchetai kai poy hypagei· ohytōs estin pas ho gegennēmenos ek toy pneymatos.

¹⁸ ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν οὐ κρίνεται· ὁ μὴ πιστεύων ἤδη κέκριται, ὅτι μὴ πεπίστευκεν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ μονογενοῦς υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ. ho pisteyōn eis ayton oy krinetai· ho mē pisteyōn ēdē kekritai, hoti mē pepisteyken eis to onoma toy monogenoys yhioy toy theoy.

¹⁹ αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ κρίσις, ὅτι τὸ φῶς ἐλήλυθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον καὶ ἠγάπησαν οἱ ἄνθρωποι μᾶλλον τὸ σκότος ἢ τὸ φῶς· ἦν γὰρ αὐτῶν πονηρὰ τὰ ἔργα. ahytē de estin hē krisis, hoti to phōs elēlythen eis ton kosmon kai ēgapēsan ohi anthrōpoi mallon to skotos ē to phōs· ēn gar aytōn ponēra ta erga.

²⁹ ὁ ἔχων τὴν νύμφην νυμφίος ἐστίν· ὁ δὲ φίλος τοῦ νυμφίου, ὁ ἑστηκὼς καὶ ἀκούων αὐτοῦ, χαρᾷ χαίρει διὰ τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ νυμφίου. αὕτη οὖν ἡ χαρὰ ἡ ἐμὴ πεπλήρωται. ho echōn tēn nymphēn nymphios estin· ho de philos toy nymphioy, ho hestēkōs kai akoyōn aytoy, chara chairei dia tēn phōnēn toy nymphioy. ahytē oyn hē chara hē emē peplērōtai.
