John 3:1-6 ▼

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people.

2 This man came to him at night, and said to him, |Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.|

3 Jesus answered him, |Truly, truly, I tell you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God.|

4 Nicodemus said to him, |How can anyone 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 tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
