were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God.

a. NLT: They are
reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a
birth that comes from God.
b. NIV: Children
born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but
born of God.
c. YLT: Who -- not
of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were
begotten.
d. Amplified Bible
Classic: Who
owe their birth neither to [c]bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of
physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to
God. [They are born of God!]
e. Worrell
Translation: Who were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of
the will of man, but of God.
f. Wuest
Translation: Who, not out of a source of bloods, nor even out of a desire of
the flesh, nor out of a desire of a male individual, but out of God were born.
