ARE WE "BORN AGAIN or THE NEW CREATURE ?" ~~~KJB 1769

​

2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 
John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 
John 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 
John 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 
John 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 
John 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
