Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.

Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

You have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God.—“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”—“Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”—He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.—Your promise gives me life.

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
