John 3:3-10

³Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

⁴Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

⁶That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.

⁷Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born again.

⁸The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

⁹Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?

¹⁰Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?
