IVangeli Engcwele ngokukaYohane 3: 1-8

3:1	Now there was a man among the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews.
3:2	He went to Jesus at night, wathi kuye: “Rabhi, we know that you have arrived as a teacher from God. For no one would be able to accomplish these signs, which you accomplish, unless God were with him.”
3:3	Waphendula uYesu wathi kuye, “Amen, amen, Ndithi kuni, unless one has been reborn anew, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
3:4	Nicodemus said to him: “How could a man be born when he is old? Ngokuqinisekileyo, he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be reborn?”
3:5	UYesu wasabela: “Amen, amen, Ndithi kuni, unless one has been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
3:6	What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
3:7	You should not be amazed that I said to you: You must be born anew.
3:8	The Spirit inspires where he wills. And you hear his voice, but you do not know where he comes from, or where he is going. So it is with all who are born of the Spirit.”
