John 3:6,7

"That which is becoming of the flesh is flesh; and that which is becoming of the wind is wind.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, You must be becoming up-place."  As human beings, we are true to our source.  If we are of the flesh, then we spill over with bitter invective, sarcasm, and just plain mean-ness.  If we are of the wind, then our speech and our writing are full of divine grace. Our lives genuinely reflect what our true natures are.  Given our tendency to "un-mark", to miss the mark, we stand in need, like Nicodemus (Public-Overcomer), of becoming "up-place", of being birthed from above in a new way.  Note that Jesus says "unto thee" (singular in Greek and, here, in English) that "you" (plural) must experience this new becoming.  It is a corporate need, expressed individually.
