A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow, be cause her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Nicodemus said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb the second time, and be born?

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

But as then, he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was born ac cording to the Spirit, so even now.
