The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So
it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.'

The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice; but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so
is everyone having been generated from the Spirit.

is every one that is born of the Spirit.
(
John 3:8 DRB)
Every version I come across, except the ESV, reads essentially "so is every one". The ESV reads "so it is with everyone". Which is correct? Even those based on the WH/Nestle-Aland texts read "so is every one" and not "so it is with every one".
The clause in question reads thus in Greek:
οὕτως ἐστὶ πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ Πνεύματος.
It looks to me like the Greek is saying "so is all who" etc. In other words, it is not "so it is with". It and with aren't in the text anywhere. Perhaps the ESV is using a different Greek text than everyone else seems to be using?
