Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
who were born (begotten) not of blood (bloods), nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. |
children born not of natural descent (Greek, of bloods), nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. |
Who owe their birth neither to 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!] |
who, not out of a source of bloods, nor even out of a desire of the flesh, nor even out of a desire of a male individual, but out of God were born. |
and their birth depended not on natural descent nor on any physical impulse or plan of man, but on God. |
who were born of God and not of natural blood nor of physical or human impulse. (literally, nor of the will of flesh or man.) |
