3 Jesus answered: »Truly I tell you unless a person is born again brought forth from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.«

3 Jesus answered: »Truly I tell you unless a person is born again brought forth from above he cannot see the kingdom of God.«4 Nicodemus asked: »How could a man be born when he is old? Can he enter his mothers womb again and be born?«5 Jesus responded: »I tell you truth, except a man be born of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!6 »That which is born from the flesh is flesh and that which is born from the Spirit is spirit.7 »Do not marvel that I say you must be born again.8 »The wind blows where it will. You hear the sound of it. Yet you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. It is like this with every one who is born from the Spirit.«

5 Jesus responded: »I tell you truth, except a man be born of water and the spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!6 »That which is born from the flesh is flesh and that which is born from the Spirit is spirit.7 »Do not marvel that I say you must be born again.

15 »Truly I tell you, he who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child shall not enter it.«

1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus. They asked: »Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?«2 He took a little child and put him in the middle of them.3 He said: »Truly I tell you, if you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.4 »He who humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

17 If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things have passed away. Behold, they have become new.

4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death. Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, that we might walk in the newness of life.5 If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection.6 We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.7 He who has died is freed from sin.

4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death. Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, that we might walk in the newness of life.

11 Consider yourselves to be dead with reference to sin, but alive with reference to God through Christ Jesus.

20 I have been impaled with Christ. It is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh physical body I live by faith. This is the faith that is in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself up for me.

22 You put away your former way coursebehaviorconversation of life, the old self that was corrupt with the lusts of deceit.23 You are renewed in the spirit vital principlesattitude of your mind understanding.24 Put on the new man, that in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you got rid of the old self with its evil practices.10 You put on the new self that is being renewed to a true knowledge full discernment according to the image of the one who created him.11 There is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all and in all.

12 He gave the right to become children of God to all who received him. Even to those who believe in his name.13 They were born from God. It was not from blood, or the will of the flesh, or the will of man.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.4 You are born to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away and is reserved in heaven for you.

23 You have been given a new birth, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and endures.

2 Like newborn infants, long for the spiritual milk that is without deception to help you grow to salvation.3 You have tasted that the Lord is kind.

1 Observe the love the Father gave to us that we should be called the children of God. That is what we are! For this reason the world does not know us. This is because it did not know him.2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be. We know that when he is revealed we will be like him. We will see him just as he is.

4 When the full time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

19 »I will give them one united heart, and put a new spirit within them. I will take the heart of stone unkind attitude out of them and give them a heart of flesh loving disposition.20 »In this way they may walk in my statutes and obey my ordinances. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. For by grace loving-kindness you have been saved.
