**"1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of þe Jewes:
2 The same came to Iesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, wee know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can doe these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Iesus answered, and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be borne againe, he cannot see the kingdome of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be borne when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mothers wombe, and be borne?
5 Iesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be borne of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdome of God.
6 That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh, and that which is borne of the spirit, is spirit.
7 Marveile not that I saide unto thee, Ye must be borne againe.
8 The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tel whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: So is every one that is borne of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Iesus answered, and saide unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verely, verely I say vnto thee, We speake that we doe know, and testifie that wee have seene; and yee receive not our witnesse.
12 If I have tolde you earthly things, and ye beleeve not: how shall ye beleeve if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but hee that came downe from heaven, even the Sonne of man which is in heaven.
14 ¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wildernesse: even so must the Sonne of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever beleeveth in him, should not perish, but have eternall life.
16 ¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Sonne: that whosoever beleeveth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Sonne into the world to condemne the world: but that the world through him might be saved.
18 ¶ He that beleeveth on him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeveth not, is condemned already, because hee hath not beleeved in the Name of the onely begotten Sonne of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were evill.
20 For every one that doeth evill, hateth the light, neither commeth to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But hee that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."**

This is chapter three, and the link posted is the beginning of this gospel. This is the gospel of the way. The gospel of the truth and life. As the LORD tells us Himself:
" I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man commeth unto the Father but by me."
I will pray unto the LORD that all who read these words, and read this gospel may become known of God and come to the knowledge and the power, and the secrets (for you who desire secrets, even if God desires secrets to be known) of the truth that is the truth of life from the foundation of the Earth, that of Jesus Christ.
Amen. May all who read these words be blessed.
Blessed is Jesus Christ the LORD since the foundation of the earth forever and ever, amen. The words of this gospel are holy.

God is not of this world. Death is of this world.
These are the words of the Gospel of John, the disciple of Jesus Christ.
