"In all truth I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born through water and the Spirit."

 John 3:1-8

¹ There was one of the Pharisees called Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews,

² who came to Jesus by night and said, 'Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one could perform the signs that you do unless God were with him.'

³ Jesus answered: In all truth I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.

⁴ Nicodemus said, 'How can anyone who is already old be born? Is it possible to go back into the womb again and be born?'

⁵ Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born through water and the Spirit;

⁶ what is born of human nature is human; what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁷ Do not be surprised when I say: You must be born from above.

⁸ The wind blows where it pleases; you can hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
