John 3:4-11

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

⁵Jesus answered, Truly, truly do I say to thee, Unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

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 thereof, but knowest not 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 the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?

¹¹Truly, truly do I say to thee, We speak that which we know, and testify that which we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.
