²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

³ Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God!

¹⁶ And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.

¹¹ And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

²¹ which also after a true likeness doth now save you, `even' baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:

²³ having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

¹⁰ By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

¹⁸ As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.

¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

¹ In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

²² let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,

⁵ not by works `done' in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁶ which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁷ that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

⁹ Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

⁸ Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and `so' shall ye be my disciples.

⁷ Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

⁶ This is he that came by water and blood, `even' Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.

¹ Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

² according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

¹⁸ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
