一、本週經文Scriptures:約翰福音3:3-8 John
3耶穌回答說:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不重生,就不能見神的國。」4尼哥底母說:「人已經老了,如何能重生呢?豈能再進母腹生出來嗎?」5耶穌說:「我實實在在地告訴你,人若不是從水和聖靈生的,就不能進神的國。6從肉身生的就是肉身;從靈生的就是靈。7我說:『你們必須重生』,你不要以為希奇。8風隨著意思吹,你聽見風的響聲,卻不曉得從哪裡來,往哪裡去;凡從聖靈生的,也是如此。」
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” 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. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You 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.”
