³ Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'

¹³ `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide `is' the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it;

¹⁴ how strait `is' the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it!

¹⁵ `But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.

⁹ have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit.

¹¹ And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

²² for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

²⁸ so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall appear, to those waiting for him -- to salvation!

⁴⁷ for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations -- for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.'

¹⁰ for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

¹¹ For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,

¹² teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

¹³ waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

²² and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come.

⁹ who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,

⁵ (not by works that `are' in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁰ for with the heart doth `one' believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

²⁷ And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,

⁹ receiving the end of your faith -- salvation of souls;

¹⁰ concerning which salvation seek out and search out did prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy,

¹⁶ he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

¹² but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,

⁹ the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,

¹⁶ for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

⁸ for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,

⁹ not of works, that no one may boast;

¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

⁹ if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness;

³ and said, `Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;

⁹ that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

¹⁰ for with the heart doth `one' believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

¹¹ for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'

³¹ and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;'

²⁰ lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

¹ To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. Only -- toward God `is' my soul silent, From Him `is' my salvation.

¹² and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

¹⁷ Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls.

¹⁸ Yet I, in Jehovah I exult, I do joy in the God of my salvation.

¹⁹ Jehovah the Lord `is' my strength, And He doth make my feet like hinds, And on my high-places causeth me to tread. To the overseer with my stringed instruments!

²⁷ and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.'

²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

¹⁷ so that if any one `is' in Christ -- `he is' a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

⁵² and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

²³ for the wages of the sin `is' death, and the gift of God `is' life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

⁷ for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;

⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

⁹ much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath;

⁴ Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of thy life.

²¹ and it shall be, every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.

³⁵ And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.

³⁶ Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

³⁷ I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
