One Greek word runs through the conversation with two meanings at once. Anōthen. Again. And from above. Both are true. And both matter.

In this letter

- Anōthen (G509) walked in both meanings

- Why the new birth is both a beginning and from above

- The whole conversation walked one more time

- The passive verb and the received life

- A direct pastoral landing for the Nicodemus-like, the performance-weary, the light-avoiders, and the doubting

Scripture — John 3:1-21 (full)

Greek word study

- anōthen (ἄνωθεν, G509) — the double-meaning word (Friday apex)

Next week's letter | Acts 2:1-41 — The Tongue of Flame.

> That's this week's letter. We'll see you Monday with another.
