John 3:1-8 (A)

   

John 3:1-8

3:1

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council.

3:2

He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

3:3

In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

3:4

"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"

3:5

Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.

3:6

Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

3:7

You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'

3:8

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

Exodus

14:21

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided,

14:22

and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

16:13

That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

16:14

When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor.

16:15

When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread the LORD has given you to eat.

17:6

I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink." So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Romans

7:14

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

7:15

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

7:16

And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.

7:17

As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

7:18

I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

7:19

For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

7:20

Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

7:21

So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

7:22

For in my inner being I delight in God's law;

7:23

but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.

7:24

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Romans

3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

1 Peter

1:23

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

Jeremiah

17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

Acts

9:17

Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

9:18

Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized,
