John 3: 1-8
Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of
the Jews;
2 this man came to Him by night, and said to Him, "Rabbi, we
know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do
these signs that You do unless God is with him."
3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly,
truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God."
4 Nicodemus said to Him, " How can a man be born when he is
old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be
born, can he?"
5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say
to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God."
6 "That which is born of the flesh is
flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 "Do not marvel that I said to
you,'You must be born again.'
8 " The wind blows where it wishes and
you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and
where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the
Spirit."
