5 Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born of water and Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.
7 Wonder not, then, that I have said to you, You must be born again.
15 Indeed, I say to you, whosoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall never enter it.
1 Behold how great love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this reason, the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
2 Beloved, now we are the children of God; but it does not yet appear what we shall be. However, we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him-that we shall see him as he is.
17 For, if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has regenerated us to a lively hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and unfading, preserved in the heavens for us;
23 having been regenerated, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of the living God, which remains.
11 So reckon yourselves also dead, indeed, to sin; but alive to God, by Jesus Christ.
4 We have been buried, then, together with him, by the immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father; so we also shall walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death; we shall then, also, certainly be in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should not any longer serve sin:
7 for he that has died is released from sin.
22 that, with respect to your former conduct, you put away the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 that you be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
24 and that you put on the new man; which, after God, is created in righteousness and true holiness.
12 but to as many as received him, believing in his name, he granted the privilege of being children of God;
13 who derive their birth not from blood, nor from the desire of the flesh, nor from the will of man, but from God.
20 I am crucified together with Christ. Nevertheless, I live; yet not longer I, but Christ lives in me: for the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith which is of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
2 as newborn babes, earnestly desire the unadulterated milk of the word, that you may grow by it.
3 Because, indeed, you have tasted that the Lord is good;
4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
9 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man, with his practices;
10 and having put on the new, who is renewed by knowledge, after the image of him, who created him;-
11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew; circumcision nor uncircumcision; barbarian, Scythian; bond nor free; but Christ is all, and in all.
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus inquiring, Who shall be the greatest in the Reign of Heaven?
2 Jesus calling to him a child, placed him in the midst of them,
3 and said, Indeed, I say to you, unless you be changed, and become as children, you shall never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever, therefore, shall become humble like this child.
4 We have been buried, then, together with him, by the immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father; so we also shall walk in newness of life.
4 But God being rich in mercy, through his great love with which he loved us,
5 even us, who were dead in trespasses, he has made alive together with Christ; (by favor you are saved;)
3 Jesus answering, said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not discern the Reign of God.
3 Jesus answering, said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not discern the Reign of God.
4 Nicodemus replied, How can a grown man be born? Can he enter his mother's womb anew, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a man be born of water and Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.
7 Wonder not, then, that I have said to you, You must be born again.
8 The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear the report of him, but know not whence he comes, or whither he goes; so is every one who is born of the spirit.
