Jesus answered, "I tell you, if a man does not owe his birth to water and spirit, he cannot get into the Kingdom of God.

Whatever owes its birth to the physical is physical, and whatever owes its birth to the Spirit is spiritual.

The wind blows wherever it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. That is the way with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit."

For he whom God has sent speaks God's words, for God gives him his Spirit without measure.

But a time is coming??t is already here!??hen the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and sincerity, for the Father wants such worshipers.

God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship him in spirit and in sincerity."

The Spirit is what gives life; flesh is of no use at all. The things that I have said to you are spirit and they are life.

He meant by this the Spirit which those who believed in him were to receive??or the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

It is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot obtain that Spirit, because it does not see it or recognize it; you recognize it because it stays with you and is within you.

but the Helper, the holy Spirit which the Father will send in my place, will teach you everything and remind you of everything that I have told you.

When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me,

but when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth, for he will not speak for himself but will tell what he hears, and will announce to you the things that are to come.

When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished!" Then bowing his head he gave up his spirit.

"Receive the holy Spirit! If you forgive any men's sins, they are forgiven them, and if you fix any men's sins upon them, they will remain fixed."

So the story spread among the brothers that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not tell him that he was not going to die; he said, "If I wish him to wait till I come, what does it matter to you?"
