Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.

Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your solemn feasts; and one will take you away with it.

and change the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

For this corruptible needs to put on incorruption, and this mortal needs to put on immortality.

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and it is not his nature to sin, because he has been born of God.

We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.

but the Word of the Lord endures forever. Now this is the Word which by the gospel was preached to you.

The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream. And he who has My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says Jehovah.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will by no means pass away.

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh does not profit; not a thing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Of His own purpose He brought us forth by the Word of Truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
