Yohanes 3:6

3:6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, ¹  and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Yohanes 5:21

5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, ²  so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes. ³ 

Yohanes 11:24

11:24 Martha said, ⁴  “I know that he will come back to life again ⁵  in the resurrection at the last day.”

[3:6]  ¹ sn What is born of the flesh is flesh, i.e., what is born of physical heritage is physical. (It is interesting to compare this terminology with that of the dialogue in John 4, especially 4:23, 24.) For John the “flesh” (σάρξ, sarx) emphasizes merely the weakness and mortality of the creature – a neutral term, not necessarily sinful as in Paul. This is confirmed by the reference in John 1:14 to the Logos becoming “flesh.” The author avoids associating sinfulness with the incarnate Christ.
