Kingdom Of God

I tell you the truth, you can only see the kingdom of God because you have been born again.

I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

I, the Son of Man, had to be lifted up, that everyone who believes in me may have eternal life. For my Father so loved the world that he gave me, his one and only Son, that whoever believes in me shall not perish but have eternal life. He did not send me into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world. Because you believe in me, you are not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in my name, Jesus.

This is the verdict: I came into the world as light, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But you live by the truth and so you come into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what you do you do through God.
