for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man can come to the father, but by me.

but to as many as received him, and believed on him, he granted the privilege of being the sons of God.

In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.

Now one of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, was there, a ruler of the Jews:

and I will pray the father, and he shall give you another advocate, to abide with you for ever;

God is a spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth.

if ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jesus answered, I tell thee, except a man be renewed by the spiritual baptism, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Jesus therefore knowing the Pharisees had heard that he made more disciples, and baptized more than John,

and the truth shall make you free.

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "behold the lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."

but when he, the spirit of truth shall come, he will inform you of all those truths: for he will not speak from himself; but the information he shall receive will he communicate: and acquaint you with what is to come.

all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made.

but the advocate, the holy spirit, whom the father will send for my sake, he will explain every thing to you, and make you remember, all that I have told you.

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

he came as a witness, to represent what he knew of the light, that by his means all might be convinc'd.

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me shall live even though he were dead:

Jesus said to them, verily, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was I AM.

the wind bloweth where it listeth, and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes, or whither it goes: such is the change in every one that is renewed by the spirit.

the sick man answered him, sir, I have nobody to put me into the pool when the water has been agitated: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

Jesus said therefore to those Jews who believed on him, if you adhere to my doctrine, then will you be my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth,

he that believeth on him, shall not be condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the only begotten son of God.

Jesus then having reassumed his discourse, said to them, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

I and my father are one.

for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

but the time is coming, nay, is very nigh, when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit and in truth: for they are the worshippers which he requires.

You search the scriptures, for you think by their means to have eternal life, and they are the very writings which do testify of me.

let not this surprize you: for the time is coming, when all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and they that have done good,

no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son, who is intimate with the father, hath made him known.

there cannot be greater love than that of a man, who lays down his life for his friends.

The same day at evening, being the first day of the week, the doors of the house where the disciples were, being shut, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, peace be with you.

no man can come to me, except the father who hath sent me, conduct him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Some time after this the feast of the Jews being come, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

but as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up:

Nicodemus replied, how can a man be born when he is old? can he enter into his mother, and be born a second time?

I bid you farewell! I give you my last farewell; but I do not give it out of common formality: don't be concern'd for me, or apprehensive for your selves.

my sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me.

nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

neither pray I for these alone, but for those also who shall believe on me through their preaching.

In the last day, the most solemn day of the feast, Jesus being there, raised his voice, and said, if any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

Jesus answered her, if you knew the dispensation of God, and who it is that says to you, give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

he answered them, he that cured me said to me, take up your bed and walk.

but being obliged to pass through Samaria,

it was not you that chose me, but I that chose you, and establish'd you, that your travels may be fruitful, and your fruit be lasting: so that whatever ye shall ask of the father for my sake, he will give it you.
