³ Jesus replied, "What I'm about to tell you is true. No one can see God's kingdom without being born again." ⁴ "How can I be born when I am old?" Nicodemus asked. "I can't go back inside my mother! I can't be born a second time!" ⁵ Jesus answered, "What I'm about to tell you is true. No one can enter God's kingdom without being born through water and the Holy Spirit. ⁶ People give birth to people. But the Spirit gives birth to spirit. ⁷ You should not be surprised when I say, 'You must all be born again.' ⁸ "The wind blows where it wants to. You hear the sound it makes. But you can't tell where it comes from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born through the Spirit." ⁹ "How can this be?" Nicodemus asked.
