¹² Therefore, just as through ^(A)one man sin entered into the world, and ^(B)death through sin, and ^(C)so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned—

Made Alive in Christ

2 And ^[a]you ^[b]were ^(A)dead ^[c]in your offenses and sins, ² in which you ^(B)previously walked according to the ^[d]course of ^(C)this world, according to ^(D)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(E)the ^[e]sons of disobedience. ³ Among them ^[f]we too all ^(F)previously lived in ^(G)the lusts of our flesh, ^[g]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[h]mind, and were ^(H)by nature ^(I)children of wrath, ^(J)just as the rest.

⁴⁸ When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying ^(A)the word of ^[a]the Lord; and all who ^(B)had been appointed to eternal life believed.

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.

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.”
