John 3:1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews, 2 this one came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.
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.
