Commentary on John 1:13
This verse explains the origin of spiritual birth, using three negatives: 'not of blood' (biological inheritance), 'nor of the will of the flesh' (human effort), 'nor of the will of man' (another person's decision). Divine birth originates solely 'of God' (ek theou). The Greek 'haima' (bloods, plural) may reference both parents—no human lineage produces spiritual children. Salvation is monergistic—entirely God's work. Regeneration precedes and enables faith, not vice versa. This demolishes all human pride in salvation.
