John 3:4 in Context — John 3

2 Este veio a Jesus de noite, e disse-lhe: Rabi, bem sabemos que és Mestre vindo de Deus; porque ninguém pode fazer estes sinais que tu fazes, se Deus não for com ele.

3 Respondeu Jesus e disse-lhe: Em verdade, em verdade te digo, que aquele que não voltar a nascer, não pode ver o Reino de Deus.

4 Nicodemos lhe disse: Como pode o homem nascer, sendo [já] velho? Pode ele voltar a entrar no ventre de sua mãe, e nascer?

5 Respondeu Jesus: Em verdade, em verdade te digo, que aquele que não nascer de água e [do] Espírito, não pode entrar no Reino de Deus.

6 O que é nascido de carne, carne é; e o que é nascido do Espírito, espírito é.
