HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." {Verse 3}

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." {Verses 16-17}

"He must increase, but I must decrease." {Verse 30}
