[John 3:3-8 ESV] {3} Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” {4} Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” {5} Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. {6} That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. {7} Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ {8} The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

[John 7:37-39 ESV] {37} On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. {38} Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” {39} Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

[John 14:15-17 ESV] {15} “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. {16} And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, {17} even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

[Acts 1:4-8 ESV] {4} And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; {5} for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” {6} So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” {7} He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. {8} But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

[Romans 8:9 ESV] {9} You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

[Ephesians 1:13-14 ESV] {13} In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, {14} who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

[Jeremiah 30:1-11 ESV] {1} The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: {2} “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you. {3} For behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah, says the LORD, and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it.” {4} These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah: {5} “Thus says the LORD: We have heard a cry of panic, of terror, and no peace. {6} Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale? {7} Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it. {8} “And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him. {9} But they shall serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. {10} “Then fear not, O Jacob my servant, declares the LORD, nor be dismayed, O Israel; for behold, I will save you from far away, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease, and none shall make him afraid. {11} For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD; I will make a full end of all the nations among whom I scattered you, but of you I will not make a full end. I will discipline you in just measure, and I will by no means leave you unpunished.

[Jeremiah 33:1-26 ESV] {1} The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard: {2} “Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it to establish it–the LORD is his name: {3} Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. {4} For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down to make a defense against the siege mounds and against the sword: {5} They are coming in to fight against the Chaldeans and to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I shall strike down in my anger and my wrath, for I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil. {6} Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security. {7} I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and rebuild them as they were at first. {8} I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. {9} And this city shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it. {10} “Thus says the LORD: In this place of which you say, ‘It is a waste without man or beast,’ in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man or inhabitant or beast, there shall be heard again {11} the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, as they bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD: “‘Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!’ For I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the LORD. {12} “Thus says the LORD of hosts: In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be habitations of shepherds resting their flocks. {13} In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, flocks shall again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD. {14} “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. {15} In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. {16} In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: ‘The LORD is our righteousness.’ {17} “For thus says the LORD: David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, {18} and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.” {19} The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: {20} “Thus says the LORD: If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night will not come at their appointed time, {21} then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. {22} As the host of heaven cannot be numbered and the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me.” {23} The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: {24} “Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The LORD has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. {25} Thus says the LORD: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, {26} then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”

[Hosea 3:1-5 ESV] {1} And the LORD said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.” {2} So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley. {3} And I said to her, “You must dwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you.” {4} For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household gods. {5} Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king, and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.

[Amos 9:7-12 ESV] {7} “Are you not like the Cushites to me, O people of Israel?” declares the LORD. “Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Syrians from Kir? {8} Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground, except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” declares the LORD. {9} “For behold, I will command, and shake the house of Israel among all the nations as one shakes with a sieve, but no pebble shall fall to the earth. {10} All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, ‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’ {11} “In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old, {12} that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” declares the LORD who does this.

[Zechariah 12:1-3, 8-12 ESV] {1} The oracle of the word of the LORD concerning Israel: Thus declares the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him: {2} “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. {3} On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it. … {8} On that day the LORD will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the LORD, going before them. {9} And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. {10} “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. {11} On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. {12} The land shall mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;

[Zechariah 13:1-2 ESV] {1} “On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness. {2} “And on that day, declares the LORD of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that they shall be remembered no more. And also I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness.

[Isaiah 11:1-16 ESV] {1} There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. {2} And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. {3} And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, {4} but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. {5} Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. {6} The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. {7} The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. {8} The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. {9} They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. {10} In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples–of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious. {11} In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea. {12} He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. {13} The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart, and those who harass Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not harass Ephraim. {14} But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west, and together they shall plunder the people of the east. They shall put out their hand against Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites shall obey them. {15} And the LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt, and will wave his hand over the River with his scorching breath, and strike it into seven channels, and he will lead people across in sandals. {16} And there will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant that remains of his people, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.

[Isaiah 60:1-22 ESV] {1} Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. {2} For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. {3} And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. {4} Lift up your eyes all around, and see; they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hip. {5} Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and exult, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. {6} A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall bring good news, the praises of the LORD. {7} All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will beautify my beautiful house. {8} Who are these that fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows? {9} For the coastlands shall hope for me, the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your children from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful. {10} Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you. {11} Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession. {12} For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste. {13} The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine, to beautify the place of my sanctuary, and I will make the place of my feet glorious. {14} The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. {15} Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you majestic forever, a joy from age to age. {16} You shall suck the milk of nations; you shall nurse at the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. {17} Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, instead of stones, iron. I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness. {18} Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. {19} The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. {20} Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended. {21} Your people shall all be righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I might be glorified. {22} The least one shall become a clan, and the smallest one a mighty nation; I am the LORD; in its time I will hasten it.

[Jeremiah 32:36-44 ESV] {36} “Now therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, by famine, and by pestilence’: {37} Behold, I will gather them from all the countries to which I drove them in my anger and my wrath and in great indignation. I will bring them back to this place, and I will make them dwell in safety. {38} And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. {39} I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their own good and the good of their children after them. {40} I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from doing good to them. And I will put the fear of me in their hearts, that they may not turn from me. {41} I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul. {42} “For thus says the LORD: Just as I have brought all this great disaster upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I promise them. {43} Fields shall be bought in this land of which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’ {44} Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be signed and sealed and witnessed, in the land of Benjamin, in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb; for I will restore their fortunes, declares the LORD.”

[Matthew 24:29-31 ESV] {29} “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. {30} Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. {31} And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

[Matthew 25:31-46 ESV] {31} “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. {32} Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. {33} And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. {34} Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. {35} For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, {36} I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ {37} Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? {38} And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? {39} And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ {40} And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ {41} “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. {42} For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, {43} I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ {44} Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ {45} Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ {46} And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

[Ezekiel 36:24-28 ESV] {24} I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. {25} I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. {26} And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. {27} And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. {28} You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

[John 1:11-13 ESV] {11} He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. {12} But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, {13} who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

[Romans 11:1, 11, 25-27 ESV] {1} I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. … {11} So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. … {25} Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. {26} And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; {27} “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

[Jeremiah 31:31-34 ESV] {31} “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, {32} not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. {33} For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. {34} And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

[John 1:29-36 ESV] {29} The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! {30} This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ {31} I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” {32} And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. {33} I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ {34} And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” {35} The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, {36} and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”

[John 19:13-19 ESV] {13} So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Aramaic Gabbatha. {14} Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold your King!” {15} They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” {16} So he delivered him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, {17} and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. {18} There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them. {19} Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”

[1 Corinthians 5:7 ESV] {7} Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

[Luke 22:14-20 ESV] {14} And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. {15} And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. {16} For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” {17} And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves. {18} For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” {19} And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” {20} And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

[Acts 2:1-4 ESV] {1} When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. {2} And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. {3} And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. {4} And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

[Acts 2:33, 38-39 ESV] {33} Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. … {38} And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. {39} For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

[1 Corinthians 12:13 ESV] {13} For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body–Jews or Greeks, slaves or free–and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
