Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.

And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.

And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
