John 3:1-8
1NowG1161 there was a manG444 of the PhariseesG5330, namedG3686 1NicodemusG3530, a 2rulerG758 of the JewsG2453; 2thisG3778 manG3778 cameG2064 to 3Jesus at nightG3571 and saidG3004 to Him, “4RabbiG4461, we knowG3609 that You have comeG2064 from GodG2316 as a teacherG1320; for noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 doG4160 theseG3778 56signsG4592 that You doG4160 unlessG1437G3361 7GodG2316 is with him.” 3JesusG2424 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to him, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 someoneG5100 8is bornG1080 9againG509 he cannotG1410G3756 seeG3708 10the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.”
4NicodemusG3530 saidG3004 to Him, “HowG4459 canG1410 a personG444 be bornG1080 when he is oldG1088? He cannotG1410G3361 enterG1525 his mother’sG3384 wombG2836 a secondG1208 timeG1208 and be bornG1080, can he?” 5JesusG2424 answeredG611, “TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, unlessG1437G3361 someoneG5100 is bornG1080 of 11waterG5204 and the SpiritG4151, he cannotG1410G3756 enterG1525 12the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 613That which has been bornG1080 of the fleshG4561 is fleshG4561, and that which has been bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151 is spiritG4151. 7Do not beG2296 amazedG2296 that I saidG3004 to you, ‘You mustG1163 be bornG1080 14againG509.’ 815The windG4151 blowsG4154 whereG3699 it wishesG2309, and you hearG191 the soundG5456 of it, but you do not knowG3609 whereG4159 it is comingG2064 from and whereG4226 it is goingG5217; soG3779 is everyoneG3956 who has been bornG1080 of the SpiritG4151.”
