5 ‘Twas not for deeds that we had done, But by his steadfast love alone, He saved us through a second birth,Renewed us by the Spirit's work,
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of his great mercy he has given us a new birth to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
6 Whatis born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
4 because everyone who is born from God has overcome the world. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
7 Dear friends, let us continually love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born from God and knows God.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and—look!—all things have become new!
23 For you have been born again, not by a seed that perishes but by one that cannot perish—by the living and everlasting word of God.
5 Jesus answered,"Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
6 I am convinced of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Christ Jesus.
2 Like newborn babies, thirst for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in your salvation.
3 Jesus replied to him,"Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born from abovehe cannot see the kingdom of God."
