John 3:5-8

5Jesus explained, ‘I tell you this: Unless a person is born by water and by God's Spirit, he cannot come into the kingdom of God.

6People give birth to what is human. But God's Spirit gives birth to spirit.

7I said to you, “You must be born from above.” What I said should not surprise you.

8When someone is born by God's Spirit, it is like the wind that blows. The wind blows wherever it chooses to blow. You can hear it. But you do not know where it came from or where it is going.’
