He is Favored 3

1 And there was a man from out of the Separatists, Conqueror of the People ("Nicodemus"). A name to himself, 'Chief of the Casters.'
2 This one came toward himself of night and said to himself, "My Abounding one ("Rabbi"), we perceive that you have come away from God, a teacher, for no one is able to make these Signs, whatever ones yourself is making, unless the God should be with himself!

The Reason it was always "Kingdom"

3 The Salvation separated and said to himself, "Amen Amen I am saying to yourself, unless anyone is begotten from above, he is not able to perceive the Queen of the God."

The Only Begotten Man From Herself Above

4 Conqueror of the People is saying to himself, "How is a man able to be begotten? He who is an old man is not able to come into the Belly of the Second Mother of himself and be begotten."^70c
5 The Salvation separated, "Amen Amen I am speaking to yourselves, unless anyone is begotten from out of water and of spirit, he has no power to come into the Queen of the God.
6 The one begotten out of flesh is flesh. And the one begotten out of the Spirit, is a spirit.
7 Do not marvel that I said to yourself, 'It is necessary for yourselves to be begotten from top/above.'

Leading Below

8 The Spirit blows where it desires, and the Voice of self you are hearing, but you see not where she is coming from, and where she is leading under, in this way is everyone, the one begotten from out of the Spirit."
9 Conqueror of the People separated and said to himself, "How does he have power to become these ones?"

Yourself is the Teacher

10 Separated the Salvation and said to himself, "Yourself is the Teacher of God Straightened, and these ones you don't recognize!
11 Amen, Amen I am speaking to yourself, that whatever we have seen, we are chirping, and whoever we have seen we are bearing witness to, and you are not taking hold of the Testament of ourselves.
12 If I have spoken earthly ones to yourselves and you trust not, how, unless I speak to yourselves the heavenly ones will you trust?

He who has Climbed Down

13 And no one has climbed up into the Heavenly One, except the one from out of the Heavenly One, who has climbed down, the Son of the Man.

A serpent of the Bronze One

14 And in the manner Drawn Out ("Moses") exalted the Serpent in the Desolate one, in this way it is necessary for the Son of the Man to be exalted,
15 so that all, the one who trusts within himself may hold zoe-life eternal.

For thus God loved Himself

16 For thus the God agape-loved the World, wherefore he gave the Only-kind/Begotten Son, so that the whole of the One Who Trusts into himself, might not be destroyed away, but hold the eternal Zoe-life.

Not to Create Separatists

17 For the God did not send away the Son into the Order in order to separate^70d the Order, but that the Order might be saved across the other side of himself.
18 The One Who Trusts into himself is not picked-out/separated, but the One Who Does Not Trust already has been picked-out/separated because he has not trusted into the name of the only-kind/race of the son of the God.

Separation of Darkness from the Light

19 And she is the Separation, that the Light has come into the Order, and men agape-loved [gave themselves over to] the Dark one rather than the Light. And so the Works of themselves were pain-ridden/laborious.
20 For the whole doing wicked/worthlessness hates the luminous-light and does not come toward the luminous-light, so that the works of himself may not be shamed.
21 And the he who is making the Real/True one is coming toward the Luminary so that the Works of Himself may be made manifest that they have been worked within God.
22 With these ones came the Salvation, and the Learners of himself into the Land of Casters, and in that place he spent time with themselves and was submerging.
23 And the Favored was also submerging in Place of Little Eye/Spring ("Aenon"), near Place of Complete ("Salim"), because the water-ones in that place were many, and they were coming and being submerged.
24 For not yet had the Favored been cast into the guardhouse.
25 Then a controversy became from out of the Learners of the Favored, with a Caster from around a purification/cleansing.
26 And they came toward the Favored and said to himself, "My Teacher, he who was with yourself on the other side of the Descent, to whom yourself has borne witness, Behold! He submerges this one, and the whole is coming toward himself!"^70e
27 The Favored separated and said, "A man has no power to take hold of neither one, except it be that which is given to himself from out of the Heavenly One.

I am not I

28 Themselves, yourselves, bear witness to myself that I spoke, "Myself is not myself,^70f the Anointed One, but that I am the one who has been sent away in front of that one.

The Bride, the Joy of Myself

29 The one who holds the Bride is the Bridegroom. And the Friend of the Bridegroom, the one who has stood ready and the one who hears himself, with joy rejoices across to the other side to the Voice of the Bridegroom, "She therefore, the Joy of Myself, is filled up!"⁷¹30 It behooves that one to increase, and to decrease myself.

The Complete Man is Above The Whole, His shadow-image cast on Earth

31 The one from on top, he who is coming, is on top of the whole. The one from out of the Earth, he who is, is from out of the Earth and is chirping from out of the Earth. The one from out of the Heavenly one, he who is coming, is on top of all.
32 Whoever has perceived and heard this one, he is bearing witness, and no one is taking hold of the Testament of himself.
33 The one who has taken hold of the Testament of himself, has set a seal that the true God he is.
34 For whoever the God sent away, is articulating the Speakings of the God, for he is not giving the Spirit from a measure.
35 The father agape-loves the son, and he has given everyone within the Hand of himself.
36 The One Who Trusts into the son, holds zoe-life eternal. But the one, he who disobeys the Son, will not perceive zoe-life, but the Anger of the God abides upon himself.
