I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.
I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to your word.
This is my comfort in my distress, that your promise gives me life.
It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.
