3 Jesus replied, "I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God's kingdom!" 4 Nicodemus asked, "How can a grown man ever be born a second time?" 5 Jesus answered: I tell you for certain that before you can get into God's kingdom, you must be born not only by water, but by the Spirit. 6 Humans give life to their children. Yet only God's Spirit can change you into a child of God. 7 Don't be surprised when I say that you must be born from above. 8 Only God's Spirit gives new life. The Spirit is like the wind that blows wherever it wants to. You can hear the wind, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. 9 "How can this be?" Nicodemus asked.
