1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
2The same came to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
3Jesus answered him, "Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can`t see the kingdom of God."
4Nicodemus 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?"
5Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he can`t enter into the kingdom of God!
6That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7Don`t marvel that I said to you, `You must be born anew.`
