1 Peter 1:23

“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.

who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

Therefore, laying aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in gentleness receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Everyone who has been born of God does not sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
