not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according
to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from
God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the
Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is
from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the
spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is
greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak
from the world, and the world listens to them.

endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put
us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy
Spirit who has been given to us.

Jesus answered him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot
see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he

answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he
cannot enter the kingdom of God.
