[1] a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [2] The same came to by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that a teacher come from God: for no man can do miracles that thou doest, God with him. [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, I say a man be born again, he cannot the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5] Jesus answered, Verily, I say a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh and that which is born of the Spirit [7] Marvel not that I said must be born again.
