³⁷ If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;

³⁷ And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

²³ Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God.

⁹ Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

¹⁸ We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.
