This is Jesus Christ, that came by water and blood; not in water only, but in water and blood. And the Spirit is he that witnesseth, that Christ is [the] truth.
for the life of flesh is in the blood, and I gave that blood to you, that ye cleanse therewith upon mine altar for your souls, and that the blood be sprinkled for [the] sin of the soul.
And when Jesus was baptized, anon he went up from the water; and lo! heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove, and coming [up] on him;
which Spirit the world may not take, for it seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But ye shall know him, for he shall dwell with you, and he shall be in you.
But when the Comforter shall come, which I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which cometh forth [or proceedeth] of the Father, he shall bear witnessing of me;
But when the Spirit of truth cometh, he shall teach you all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever things he shall hear, he shall speak; and he shall tell to you those things that be to come.
Jesus answered, and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that saith to thee, Give me drink, thou peradventure wouldest have asked of him, and he should have given to thee quick water.
but he that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall not thirst without end; but the water that I shall give him, shall be made in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.
Whom God ordained forgiver [or purposed an helper], by faith in his blood, to the showing of his right-wiseness, for [the] remission of before-going sins, in the bearing up of God,
And openly it is a great sacrament of piety, that thing that was showed in flesh, it is justified in Spirit, it appeared to angels, it is preached to heathen men, it is believed in the world, it is taken up into glory.
not of works of rightwiseness that we did, but by his mercy he made us safe, by [the] washing, [or baptism], of again-begetting, and again-newing of the Holy Ghost,
how much more guess ye, that he deserveth worse torments, which defouleth the Son of God, and holdeth the blood of the testament polluted, in which he is hallowed, and doeth despite [or wrong] to the Spirit of grace?
how much more the blood of Christ, which by the Holy Ghost offered himself unwemmed to God, shall cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve God that liveth? [or to serve to living God?]
by the before-knowing [or the prescience] of God, the Father, in hallowing of Spirit, by obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, grace and peace be multiplied to you.
And so baptism of like form maketh us safe; not the putting away of the filths of flesh, but the asking of a good conscience in God, by the again-rising of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and of Jesus Christ, that is a faithful witness, the first begotten of dead men, and prince of kings of the earth; which loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood,
And they sung a new song, and said, Lord our God, thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals of it; for thou were slain, and again-boughtest us to God in thy blood, of each lineage, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These be they, that came from great tribulation, and washed their stoles, and made them white in the blood of the lamb.
