3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.

3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.4 Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? He is not able to enter a second time into his mothers womb and be born?5 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.6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.7 Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born from above.8 The Spirit breathes where He wishes, and you hear His voice, but do not know where He comes from and where He goes. So is everyone who is born from the Spirit.

5 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.6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.7 Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born from above.

15 Truly, I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greater in the kingdom of Heaven?2 And Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,3 and said, Truly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of Heaven.4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is greater in the kingdom of Heaven.

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

4 Therefore we were buried with Him through immersion into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in resurrection,6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be nullified, that we should no longer serve sin.7 For he who has died has been justified from sin.

4 Therefore we were buried with Him through immersion into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his practices,10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in full true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him,11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all things and in all.

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those believing into His name:13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

3 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,4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever,

2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, brought forth out of a woman, brought forth under the Law,5 to redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,20 that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

4 but God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),
