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