John 1:5

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.

seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

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

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him.

By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.

I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”

the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

The sun will be no more your light by day; nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

‘Hear this now, foolish people without understanding, who have eyes, and don’t see, who have ears, and don’t hear:

Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.

because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

However that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.

You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.

You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lamp stand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. You shall put the table on the north side.

But Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.

Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.

You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.

He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Don’t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’

Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

“To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.

and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says Yahweh.

Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves.

Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;

But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.

“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?

The proud and arrogant man—“Scoffer” is his name— he works in the arrogance of pride.

The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know. My people don’t consider.”

He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside; and he can’t deliver his soul, nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”

Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?

Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”

I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean. How long will it yet be?”

Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.

He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

It will happen in that day, that there will not be light, cold, or frost.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him.
