Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
John 3:1-3 “But there was a man from among the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;2 he came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God, for none can do these signs that thou doest unless God be with him.3 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except any one be born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Romans 6:1-4 “What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?2 Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?
4 We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so *we* also should walk in newness of life.“
2 Kings 2:19-22 19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold now, the situation of the city is good, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
21 And he went forth to the source of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: I have healed these waters: there shall not be from thence any more death or barrenness.22 And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.”
2 Peter 3:11-15 “11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?
13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.14 Wherefore, beloved, as ye wait for these things, be diligent to be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless;15 and account the longsuffering of our Lord [to be] salvation; according as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him”
2 Peter 3:18 “18 but grow in grace, and in [the] knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and to [the] day of eternity. Amen.”
