Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born, being an old man? he cannot come in a second time to his mother's belly, and be born.

Jesus says to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, Except any one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot come into the kingdom of God.

The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil.

The Spirit of truth; which the world cannot receive, for it sees it not, neither knows: and ye know it; for it shall remain with you, and shall be in you.

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me.

I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
