    1 Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.

    2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.

    3 Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

    4 Nicodemus 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?

    5 Jesus 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.

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

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