Verse

“Unless one is born of water and πνεῦμα, they cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5)

“The πνεῦμα blows wherever it chooses, and you hear its sound, but do not know where it is coming from or where it is going.” (John 3:8)

Notes

By "Spirit" we mean the Holy Spirit. Remember, in Greek there are no silent consonants, so the pi is pronounced; unlike in English where, for example, the "p" is not pronounced in the word, "pneumatic."
