João 3

3 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,*3:3 Or born from above; also in 3:7.you cannot see the Kingdom of God."

4 "What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?"

5 Jesus replied, "I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.*3:5 Or and spirit. The Greek word for Spirit can also be translated wind; see 3:8.6 Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.*3:6 Greek what is born of the Spirit is spirit.7 So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You*3:7 The Greek word for you is plural; also in 3:12.must be born again.’8 The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit."
