cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he

is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.
