3 Jesus answering, said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not discern the Reign of God.4 Nicodemus replied, How can a grown man be born? Can he enter his mother's womb anew, and be born?5 Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born of water and Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God.6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.7 Wonder not, then, that I have said to you, You must be born again.8 The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear the report of him, but know not whence he comes, or whither he goes; so is every one who is born of the spirit.
