Bible Question: I can understand everything Jesus is talking about in John 3 except when it gets to verse 8. What does verse 8 mean about the wind? |
Bible Answer: John 3:8 Holy Bible, The New Living Translation Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit." The Amplified Bible The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. * * * * * * * * * * * * * For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. 2 Tim 4:3a NIV |
