3 Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, unless someone is born again,* 3:3 Or from above, also in v. 7,* 3:3 1Pt 1:3; 1Jn 2:29he cannot see the kingdom of God."* 3:3 Mk 1:15; 9:1

4 "How can anyone be born when he is old? " Nicodemus asked him. "Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born? "

5 Jesus answered, "Truly I tell you, unless someone is born* 3:5 Mk 9:43of water and the Spirit,* 3:5 Ezk 36:25–27; Ac 22:16; Ti 3:5he cannot enter the kingdom of God.6 Whatever is born of the flesh* 3:6 Php 3:3is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit* 3:6 Jn 1:33is spirit.7 Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born* 3:7 1Pt 1:3again.8 The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going.* 3:8 Jn 8:14So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."* 3:8 1Co 2:13–16
