ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ 3:5

SBL Greek New Testament

⁵^[a]ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, ἐὰν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ πνεύματος, οὐ δύναται εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.

John 3:5

New Catholic Bible

⁵Jesus said,

“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit.^[a]

John 3:5 Born of water and the Spirit: this phrase refers to Christian Baptism, the necessary vehicle for our spiritual rebirth, wrought by the Holy Spirit. It may be that here the evangelist is clarifying the words of the Lord according to a later and more mature understanding of Christian teaching, as lived in the primitive community.

⁵Jesús respondió:

—Te digo la verdad: el que no nace de agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar al reino de Dios.
