But as many as received Him, to them granted He the privilege to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name; who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily verily I tell thee, Unless 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?

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 answered, I tell thee of a truth, Unless a man be born of water and of 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. Do not wonder that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

for if ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet ye have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you by the gospel.

And therefore if any one be in Christ, he is created anew: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.

My little children, of whom I do as it were travail in birth again,

And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,

because the carnal mind is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be: and they who are carnal, cannot please God. read more. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

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

And therefore if any one be in Christ, he is created anew: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.

And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,

And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,

hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

and cancelled the obligation we were under by ritual decrees, which was grievous to us, and hath taken it quite away, even nailing it to his cross.

not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Spirit;

not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Spirit;

For the earnest expectation of the world is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God: (for the world was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but through him who made it subject:) read more. in hope that they also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole world groaneth, and doth as it were travail in pain together even to this day. And not only others, but those also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit the redemption of our body.

But the heavens and the earth, that now are, by the same Word are kept in store, reserved unto fire on the day of judgement and destruction of ungodly men. But, beloved; be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. read more. The Lord is not slow as to his promise (as some count it slowness) but is long-suffering towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burnt up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness, expecting and hastening on the coming of the day of God, whereby the heavens being set on fire shall be dissolved, and the burning elements shall be melted. But we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwelleth.

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one, that loveth Him that begat, loveth Him also that is begotten of Him:

Now this is the meaning of the parable, The seed is the word of God:

But as many as received Him, to them granted He the privilege to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name; who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily verily I tell thee, Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

How can ye believe, who receive applause from each other, and the glory which is from God only, ye seek not?

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

He shall glorify me, for He shall take of mine and shew it unto you. All that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that He shall take of mine and shew it unto you.

Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth.

And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit:

whom heaven must indeed receive till the times of settling all things, of which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets from the beginning.

While Peter was yet speaking these words, the holy Spirit fell upon all them that heard the word.

And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. And they desired him to stay there some days.

Now they that were dispersed by the trouble, which arose about Stephen, travelled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but the Jews only. But some of them were Cyprians, and Cyrenians, who when they came to Antioch, discoursed with the Grecians also, preaching the Lord Jesus. read more. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

Then he called for lights, and sprang in, and being in a tremor fell down before Paul and Silas: and bringing them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

and finding some disciples there, he said unto them, Have ye received the holy Spirit since ye embraced the faith? And they said unto him, Nay, we had not even heard whether the holy Spirit be yet given. And he said unto them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John. read more. Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people, that they should believe in Him that was coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus. And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And as Paul laid his hands on them, the holy Spirit came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And the men were in all about twelve. And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly, disputing with them for the space of three months, and persuading them of the things concerning the kingdom of God.

"What then are we the better?" Not at all, in point of justification; for we have before proved that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin: as it is written,

Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life:

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

For I delight in the law of God, as to the inward man: but I perceive another law in my body warring against the law of my mind, and captivating me to the law of sin, which is in my body.

because the carnal mind is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be: and they who are carnal, cannot please God.

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

for it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So that every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.

And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,

And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which ye formerly walked after the manner of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that still operates in the children of disobedience: read more. among whom also we were all conversant heretofore in our carnal desires, indulging the appetites of the flesh and of our imaginations; and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.

hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

from whom the whole body being fitly joined together and compacted by the aid of every joint, according to the operation proportioned to every part, maketh an increase to the edification of itself in love. This I say therefore, and charge you in the name of the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, read more. in the vanity of their mind, darkened in their understanding, and alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, by reason of the hardness of their heart:

The resemblance of which, even baptism, doth also now save us, (not the outward cleansing of filth from the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world; for if any one love the world to excess, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world.

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I tell you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon the twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel:

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?

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

My little children, of whom I do as it were travail in birth again,

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.

And you hath he made alive 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, that no one may boast:

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.

Salute the brethren in Laodicea; and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.
