3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is ^jborn again¹ 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 one is born ^kof water and the Spirit, he cannot ^lenter the kingdom of God. 6 ^mThat which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.² 7 ⁿDo not marvel that I said to you, ‘You³ must be born again.’ 8 The wind⁴ 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.”
