Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘Y’all must be born again.’
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, no one can see the Empire of God unless they are born again.”
Nothing profane will ever enter it, and no one who does what is detestable or false, but only those written in the Lamb’s scroll of life.
Since y’all have purified your* souls in obedience to the truth in sincere mutual affection, y’all should love one another fervently, from the heart,
Y’all must pursue peace with all people, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord,
giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
If I speak to y’all about earthly things and y’all don’t believe, how will y’all believe if I speak to y’all about heavenly things?
What is a human, that he should be pure? Or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Y’all must not marvel at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear ʜɪꜱ voice
What is born of the flesh is flesh. What is born of the Spirit is spirit.
The wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound but don’t know where it comes from or where it’s going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
