John 3:1-8
You Must Be Born Again
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named aNicodemus, ba ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus aby night and said to him, b“Rabbi, cwe know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do dunless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is aborn bagain he cannot csee the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born aof water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 aThat which is born of the flesh is bflesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 aDo not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born bagain.’ 8 aThe wind blows bwhere it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
