(John 3:6-8): "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised that I said to you, You must be born again. The Spirit breathes where it will, and you hear its voice, but you do not know whence it comes and whither it goes: so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

(Romans 6:11): "In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

(Romans 6:3-7): "Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we are united to Him in the likeness of His death, then we must be united in the likeness of the resurrection, knowing that our old man was crucified with Him, so that the body of sin might be abolished, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin; for he who died was freed from sin."

(Col. 2:11-12): "In Him also you were circumcised by circumcision not made with hands, by putting off the sinful body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, in Him you have also been resurrected by faith in the power of God, Who raised Him from the dead."

(Galatians 3:27-28): "All of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no longer Jew or Gentile; there is neither slave nor free; there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

(Col. 3:9-11): "... having put off the old man with his works and having put on the new, who is renewed in knowledge in the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision or uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free, but Christ is all and in all."
