Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God. unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit."

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.
