³ already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

²⁵ And I have sprinkled over you clean water, And ye have been clean; From all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, I do cleanse you.

⁵ Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;

¹⁶ and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God -- living and remaining -- to the age;

¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

¹⁷ sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth;

¹⁸ as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world;

⁶ which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

⁷ that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during.

¹⁷ and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God,

⁹ And I do wash thee with water, And I wash away thy blood from off thee, And I anoint thee with perfume.

⁸ `In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

⁷ now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee,

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn `them' from darkness to light, and `from' the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that `is' toward me.
