There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus BY NIGHT, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT a man be born again, he CANNOT SEE the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus 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?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he CANNOT ENTER into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 MARVEL NOT THAT I SAID UNTO THEE, YE ((( MUST ))) BE BORN AGAIN.
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 Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a MASTER of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and YE BELIEVE NOT, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
***MOSES ROD WAS THE SERPENT THAT IS WHAT???
For it is clear the Rod is clearly as THAT OF JOHN 1:1 and of Psalm 23:4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.~JOHN 1:1
PSALM 23:4 ~ ...thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 FOR GOD SO! LOVED! the world, that HE GAVE his ONLY! begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
That means to obey not just believe...so many take this verse and leave out ALL the REST; Practically NEGLECTING the IMPORTANCE of WATER baptism and SPIRIT baptism by the HOLY GHOST of ACTS 2...which is the Manifestation of this very SCRIPTURE and WHY and HOW God Purchased OUR SALVATION from the Pits OF HELL...THIS IS THE Plan of Salvation, ...HENCE v18: ... but he that believeth NOT is condemned already, because he hath NOT believed IN THE NAME of the ONLY BEGOTTEN Son of God. THEN v36 ...for the Wrath of God abideth on Him...this is a PROMISED from the Almighty...because Isaiah, Adam, Moses, King David and many more prophesied of this...He is A GOD ...and He is the ONLY GOD. If it were NOT so He would have told you...for all others gods are an imposter and the human being's soul drinks the cups of devils (fallen angels) ...for satan is not about their business but is only ABOUT the KINGDOM of GOD's Business...READ it His WORD and Seek His FACE ...it clearly tells AND IF YOU STUDY AND SEEK IT AS SO Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. & Colossians 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. HENCE YOU KNOW... "NO SCRIPTURE WILL BE BROKEN"...AND HIS WORD IS AS SCRIPTURE SPOKEN IN THE PRESENT FOR IT WILL NOT RETURN VOID.
17 For God sent NOT his Son into the world to condemn the world; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.
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 Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and MEN LOVED DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL.
20 For every one that doeth evil HATETH THE LIGHT, NEITHER cometh to the light, LEST! his! deeds should be reproved!
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, THAT THEY ARE WROUGHT IN GOD.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A MAN CAN RECEIVE NOTHING, EXCEPT IT BE GIVEN HIM FROM HEAVEN.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: BUT THE FRIEND OF THE BRIDEGROOM, which standeth and heareth him, REJOICETH GREATLY BECCAUSE OF THE BRIDEGROOM'S VOICE: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
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 heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 HE THAT HATH RECEIVED HIS TESTIMONY HATH SET TO HIS SEAL THAT GOD IS TRUE.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, AND HATH GIVEN ALLL THINGS INTO HIS HAND.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth NOT the Son shall not see life; but the ((( WRATH OF GOD ))) abideth on him.
