²⁶ Moreover, I will give you a ^(A)new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the ^(B)heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷ And I will ^(C)put My Spirit within you and bring it about that you walk in My statutes, and are careful and ^[a]follow My ordinances.

³ Jesus responded and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone ^(A)is born ^[a]again he cannot see ^(B)the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ Therefore if anyone is ^(A)in Christ, this person is ^(B)a new ^[a]creation; ^(C)the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, ^(A)created in ^(B)Christ Jesus for ^(C)good works, which God ^(D)prepared beforehand so that we would ^(E)walk in them.
