3 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;

6 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;

8 the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.
