Compare John chapter 3 to see which one you like best. Hard bound Bibles don't lay flat; so see how that works for you.
I like publisher Thomas Nelson the most.
Priced very reasonable.
Verse 5 you must be born of water AND of the spirit.
3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
QUESTION: If a person is born again of the spirit ONLY and not of water he/she CANNOT enter the kingdom of God?
So, you & I need not fear about the words in verse 5 - they were only for Nicodemus (& any of us now) who might think that to be "born of water" meant something else or an added requirement to spiritual birth. No - spiritual birth is only by faith in Christ's work at the Cross & nothing else. If there was something else required, then salvation does not come by faith, and that's not the Gospel message.
