“Amen, amen, I say to you,

without being born from above.” - Rather, seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

and so will my soul, which you have redeemed. - Jesus said,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit.” - Then Jesus said to him,
“You have come to believe
because you have seen me.
Blessed are those who have not seen
and yet have come to believe.” - Until now, in my name,
you have not asked for anything.
Ask and you will receive,
so that your joy may be complete. - Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
