John 3:5-8
5) Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he can‘t enter into the kingdom of God!
6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7) Don‘t marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.‘
8) The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don‘t know where it comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
John 14:15-26
15) If you love me, keep my commandments.
16) I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever,
17) -- the Spirit of truth, whom the world can‘t receive; for it doesn‘t see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.
18) I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.
19) Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
20) In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21) Someone who has my commandments, and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him."
22) Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what will happen that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?"
23) Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.
24) He who doesn‘t love me doesn‘t keep my words. The word which you hear isn‘t mine, but the Father‘s who sent me.
25) I have said these things to you, while still living with you.
26) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your memory all that I said to you.
John 16:7-11
7) Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don‘t go away, the Counselor won‘t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8) When he has come, he will convict the world in respect to sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
9) of sin, because they don‘t believe in me;
10) of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you see me no more;
11) of judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
Romans 8:1-11
1) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don‘t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3) For what the law couldn‘t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;
4) that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5) For those who are after the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6) For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
7) because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God‘s law, neither indeed can it be.
8) Those who are in the flesh can‘t please God.
9) But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn‘t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
10) If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11) But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Galatians 5:16-21
16) But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won‘t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17) For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other, that you may not do the things that you desire.
18) But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19) Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
20) idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
21) envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Titus 3:3-7
3) For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4) But when the kindness of God, our Savior, and his love toward man, appeared,
5) not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6) which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ, our Savior;
7) that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
