John 3:1-7 ▼

1 There was a man from the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

2 This man came to Him at night and said, “ Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, for no one could perform these signs You do unless God were with him.”

3 Jesus replied, “ I assure you: Unless someone is born again,, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4 “ But 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, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit,, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

6 Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again.
