Coptic New Testament
1And there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

2This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.

5Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

13And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.

14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

16For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.

17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.

18He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.

20For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.

21But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.

22After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them, and baptized.

26And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, behold he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
