God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. 1 We have passed out of death into life. 2
We were buried with Christ by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life, 3 raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God. 4
According to his great mercy, God has caused us to be born again. 5 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth. 6
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, 7 born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 8
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come, 9 the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 10
We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, 11 created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. 12
