1. There was a man named Nicodemus who was one of the Pharisees. He was an important Jewish leader.
2. One night Nicodemus came to Jesus. He said, “Teacher, we know that you are a teacher sent from God. No one can do the miracles you do, unless God is with him.”
3. Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth. Unless you are born again, you cannot be in God’s kingdom.”
4. Nicodemus said, “But if a man is already old, how can he be born again? He cannot enter his mother’s body again. So how can he be born a second time?”
5. But Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth. Unless you are born from water and the Spirit, you cannot enter God’s kingdom.
6. A person’s body is born from his human parents. But a person’s spiritual life is born from the Spirit.
7. Don’t be surprised when I tell you, ‘You must all be born again.’
