Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
In context
3Jesus answered him, “Very truly I tell you, unless someone is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is already old? Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born?” 5Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6What is born of flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Do not be surprised that I told you: you must be born from above.
