3 And he said to me, (A)“Son of man, (B)can these bones live?” And (C)I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, (D)“Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, (E)O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause (F)breath[a] to enter you, and you shall live. 6 (G)And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and (H)cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, (I)and you shall know that I am the Lord.”

John 3:3-8
English Standard Version
3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is (A)born (B)again[a] he cannot (C)see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born (D)of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 (E)That which is born of the flesh is (F)flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.[b] 7 (G)Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You[c] must be born (H)again.’ 8 (I)The wind[d] blows (J)where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

John 3:3-8
New International Version
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”(A)
4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.(B) 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit.(C) 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d](D)
