Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth,

unless you are born again,

you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

“What do you mean?”

exclaimed Nicodemus,

“How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb

and be born again?”

Jesus replied,

“I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God

without being born of water and the Spirit.

Humans can reproduce only human life,

but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.

So don’t be surprised when I say,

‘You must be born again.’

John 3:3-7
