John 3:3-7

Darby Translation

³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God.

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

⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into 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 wonder that I said to thee, It is needful that *ye* should be born anew.
