NASB<br />

John 3:5-8 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born <strong>of</strong> water and<br />

the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom <strong>of</strong> God. "That which is born <strong>of</strong> the flesh is<br />

flesh, and that which is born <strong>of</strong> the Spirit is spirit. "Do not be amazed that I said to you,<br />

'You must be born again.'<br />

Ephesians 3:17-19 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you,<br />

being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what<br />

is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love <strong>of</strong> Christ which<br />

surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness <strong>of</strong> God.<br />

1 Timothy 4:15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your<br />

progress will be evident to all.<br />

Colossians 2:6-7 <strong>The</strong>refore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in<br />

Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your<br />

faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.<br />

Hebrews 6:1-2 <strong>The</strong>refore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press<br />

on to maturity, not laying again a foundation <strong>of</strong> repentance from dead works and <strong>of</strong> faith<br />

toward God, <strong>of</strong> instruction about washings and laying on <strong>of</strong> hands, and the resurrection<br />

<strong>of</strong> the dead and eternal judgment.<br />

John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he<br />

bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.<br />

James 1:2-4 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,<br />

knowing that the testing <strong>of</strong> your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its<br />

perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.<br />

Philippians 3:10-14 that I may know Him and the power <strong>of</strong> His resurrection and the<br />

fellowship <strong>of</strong> His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to<br />

the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained it or have already<br />

become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold <strong>of</strong> that for which also I was laid<br />

hold <strong>of</strong> by Christ Jesus.<br />
