3. Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4. Nicodemus 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?”
5. Jesus answered, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
8. The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
9. Nicodemus said to Him, “How can this be?”
10. Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, but you do not know these things?
11. Truly, truly I say to you, We speak of what We know and bear witness of what We have seen, but you do not receive Our testimony.
12. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
