¹⁵ Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

³ And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁷ Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

³ Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

⁴ Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?

⁵ Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

⁶ That which has birth from the flesh is flesh, and that which has birth from the Spirit is spirit.
