Titus 3:4-7

4 But when ^athe goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, ^bnot because of works done by us in righteousness, but ^caccording to his own mercy, by ^dthe washing of regeneration and ^erenewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he ^fpoured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that ^gbeing justified by his grace we might become ^hheirs ⁱaccording to the hope of eternal life.

1 Peter 1:2

2 according to ^jthe foreknowledge of God the Father, ^kin the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and ^lfor sprinkling with his blood:

May ^mgrace and ⁿpeace be multiplied to you.

1 Peter 3:21

21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, ^onow saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but ^pas an appeal to God for a good conscience, ^qthrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

1 John 5:6-8

Testimony Concerning the Son of God

6 This is he who came ^rby water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And ^sthe Spirit is the one who testifies, because ^tthe Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.
