<P>Morris sees thus. "We should … take the passage to mean being
born of "spiritual water", and see this as another way of refering
to being born "of the Spirit"." (218) Morris begins
with the link between water and male semen, thus pointing to a natural
birth, and adapts it. "We may take "water" and
"Spirit" closely together to give a meaning like "spiritual
seed."" (216)</P>
