Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς
the_‹thing› /having_been/_born of the flesh
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “What flesh has given birth to”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῆς σαρκὸς, σάρξ ἐστιν
the flesh flesh is
Here Jesus is describing human beings by referring to something associated with them, the flesh they are made of. The word flesh here does not refer to sinful human nature as it does in other verses in the New Testament. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a human being is a human being”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ γεγεννημένον ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος
the_‹thing› /having_been/_born of the_‹thing› /having_been/_born of the Spirit
Here, the Spirit refers to the Holy Spirit, who enables people to be born again. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “what has been born again by means of the Holy Spirit”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
πνεῦμά
spirit
Here, spirit refers to the new spiritual nature that God gives a person when they are born again. (See: bornagain) If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “a new spiritual nature”
