Can he enter his mother's womb a second time and be born?' 5 Jesus answered, 'Truly, truly, I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.' 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going.
