The term "born again" first appears in the Bible in the third chapter of the Gospel of John.

"There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus at night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who comes from God; for no man can do the miracles that you do, unless God be with him. Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God . Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mother's womb and be born for the second time? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Do not be surprised that I said to you, "You must be born again" (John 3:1-7).
