BSB:
The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

12
WBI
Nave namukwitika pano nikuvavuula isa mu iisi muno, pe kyande mukwitika ndaani pano nikuvavuula isa kukyanya?
BSB
BSB:
If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?

Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
