3Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.
4Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?
5Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.
6That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
7Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.
8The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.
9And Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for these things to be?
