5Jesus answered, “I speak an eternal truth: Unless you are born of waterc and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s kingdom. 6For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the spiritual realm gives birth to supernatural life! 7“You shouldn’t be amazed by my statement,d ‘You all must be born from above!’e 8For the Spirit-Wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound,f but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is the same with those who are Spirit-born!”g
