    4Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?

    5Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

    6That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.

    7Do not be surprised that I say to you, It is necessary for you to have a second birth.

    10But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

    11For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

    12But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

    13And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.

    14For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

    15But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.

    35But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?

    36Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:

    37And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

    38But God gives it a body, as it is pleasing to him, and to every seed its special body.

    39All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes.

    40And there are bodies of heaven and bodies of earth, but the glory of the one is different from that of the other.
