BORN OF WATER / JOHN 3:5

(KJV) John 3:5

Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

Some Bible scholars take the water to mean natural birth (as in a person first being born physically, and then spiritually). Others believe that it signifies spiritual cleansing through the Word (John 15:3; 17:17; Ephesians 5:26; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:23). However, in John’s Gospel “water” often refers to God’s Spirit. Note that John 3:8 simply mentions “born of the Spirit.” Since the Greek conjunction kai (“and”0 can also mean “even,” a literal translation of John 3:5 could be “born of water, even the Spirit.” This is to say that Jesus was probably referring to the cleansing, spiritually purifying work of the Holy Spirit in the new birth (spiritual salvation). In Titus 3:5 Paul speaks of ‘the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”
