Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus replied, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. read more. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

For though ye may have ten thousand teachers in Christ, yet not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus through the Gospel I have begotten you.

Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

My little children of whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed in you,

AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, lest any man should boast; read more. for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein.

not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;

Of his own choice he produced us by the word of truth, that we might be a sort of first fruit of his creatures.??19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.??5 And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence;

Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God. read more. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renovation of your mind, that you may prove by experience what is the will of God, that is good, acceptable, and perfect.

Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

if indeed ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off respecting your former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful passions; read more. but be renewed in the spirit of your minds; and put on the new man, which is created godlike, in righteousness and true holiness.

and hath blotted out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was the obstacle to us, and took it from the midst, nailing it to the cross;

not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit;

But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.

For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the children of God. For the creation was made subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him who made it subject, read more. in hope that the same creation shall be emancipated from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

The Lord doth not delay the promise (as some count it delay); but is longsuffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should have space for repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief by night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a rushing noise, and the first principles of matter in flames dissolve, and the earth and all the works upon it be burnt up. Seeing then that all these things must be dissolved, what manner of persons ought we to be in a course of holy conduct and acts of piety, expecting and hastening towards the coming of God's day, at which the heavens on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements in flames be melted as wax? But we expect according to his promise new heavens and a new earth in which dwelleth righteousness.

How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone?

No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And the men were in all about twelve. And entering into the synagogue, he spake boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading the things that concern the kingdom of God.

We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.

For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man: but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renovation of your mind, that you may prove by experience what is the will of God, that is good, acceptable, and perfect.

For it is written, "As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall make confession to God." Assuredly then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.

From whom the whole body nicely joined together, and firmly connected by every joint of exact proportion, according to the energy exerted in the measure of every several part, causeth the increase of the body unto the edification of itself in love. This then I urge and testify in the Lord, that ye walk no more as the other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind, read more. darkened in understanding; alienated from the life of God through the ignorance which is in them; through the blindness of their hearts:

Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."

because of the hope laid up for you in the heavens, which ye have heard before in the word of truth, the gospel,

and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that created him.

Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

My little children of whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed in you,

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.

AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is at his house.
