Born again, or to experience the new birth, is a phrase in evangelicalism, that refers to "spiritual rebirth", or a regeneration of the human spirit from the Holy Spirit, contrasted with physical birth. In contemporary Christian usage, the term is distinct from sometimes similar terms used in mainstream Christianity to refer to being or becoming Christian, linked to baptism. Individuals who profess to be "born again" state that they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; the phrase "born again" is used as an adjective to describe individual members of the movement who espouse this belief, as well as the movement itself. The term is derived from an event in the Gospel of John in which the words of Jesus were not understood by a Jewish pharisee, Nicodemus. Jesus replied, "Very I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." "How can someone be born when they are old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!"

Jesus answered, "Very I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit." John's Gospel was written in Koine Greek, the original text is ambiguous which results in a double entendre that Nicodemus misunderstands. The word translated as again is ἄνωθεν, which could mean either "again", or "from above". Nicodemus takes only the literal meaning from Jesus's statement, while Jesus clarifies that he means more of a spirtual rebirth from above. English translations have to pick one sense of another. Most versions will note the alternative sense of the phrase anōthen in a footnote. Edwyn Hoskyns argues that "born from above" is to be preferred as the fundamental meaning and he drew attention to phrases such as "birth of the Spirit", "birth from God" but maintains that this carries with it an emphasis upon the newness of the life as given by God himself; the final use of the phrase occurs in the First Epistle of Peter, rendered in the King James Version as: Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently: / Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Here, the Greek word translated as "born again" is ἀναγεγεννημένοι. The traditional Jewish understanding of the promise of salvation is interpreted as being rooted in "the seed of Abraham". Jesus explained to Nicodemus that this doctrine was in error—that every person must have two births—natural birth of the physical body and another of the water and the spirit; this discourse with Nicodemus established the Christian belief that all human beings—whether Jew or Gentile—must be "born again" of the spiritual seed of Christ. The Apostle Peter further reinforced this understanding in 1 Peter 1:23; the Catholic Encyclopedia states that " controversy existed in the primitive church over the interpretation of the expression the seed of Abraham. It is teaching in one instance that all who are Christ's by faith are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise, he is concerned, with the fact that the promise is not being fulfilled to the seed of Abraham."Charles Hodge writes that "The subjective change wrought in the soul by the grace of God, is variously designated in Scripture" with terms such as new birth, new life, new creation, renewing of the mind, dying to sin and living to righteousness, translation from darkness to light.

Jesus used the "birth" analogy in tracing spiritual newness of life to a divine beginning. Contemporary Christian theologians have provided explanations for "born from above" being a more accurate translation of the original Greek word transliterated anōthen. Theologian Frank Stagg cites two reasons why the newer translation is significant: The emphasis "from above" calls attention to the source of the "newness of life". Stagg writes. "a new destiny requires a new origin, the new origin must be from God."An early example of the term in its more modern use appears in the sermons of John Wesley. In the sermon entitled A New Birth he writes, "none can be holy unless he be born again", "except he be born again, none can be happy in this world. For... a man should not be happy, not holy." "I say, may be born again and so become an heir of salvation." Wesley states infants who are baptized are born again, but for adults it is different: our church supposes, that all who are baptized in their infancy, are at the same time born again....

But... it is sure. A Unitarian work called The Gospel Anchor noted in the 1830s that the phrase was not mentioned by the other Evangelists, nor by the Apostles except Peter. "It was not regarded by any of the Evangelists but John of sufficient importance to record." It adds that without John, "we should hardly have known that it was necessary for one to be born again." This suggests that "the text and context was meant to apply to Nicodemus and not to the world." Scholars of historical Jesus, that is, attempting to ascertain how the stories of Jesus match the historical events they are ba
