For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him.&#8221; 3 \u00a0In reply Jesus declared, &#8220;I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.&#8221; 4 \u00a0&#8220;How can a man be born when he is old?&#8221; Nicodemus asked. &#8220;Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother&#8217;s womb to be born!&#8221; 5 \u00a0Jesus answered, &#8220;I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. 6 \u00a0Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 \u00a0You should not be surprised at my saying, &#8216;You must be born again.&#8217; 8 \u00a0The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
