Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Believing on the name of Christ are not born of flesh, but of God..
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
When born again, flesh is the previous birth, and Spirit is the new birth..
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Those remaining in the flesh cannot please God.
We are not in the flesh, as we are in the Spirit, not having Christ in us, means we are none of His.
When Christ is in us, we are dead to the body of flesh to not sin.
The Spirit gives life through righteousness, that the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh( no sin nature existing) but now walk the opposite way after the Spirit..
Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Then we confess our sins, and Christ faithfully cleanses all of that former unrighteousness away.
As who is born of God does not commit sins, as the children of the devil cannot do righteousness and they are not of God, neither do they love their brother when they do any unrighteousness..
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
All unrighteousness is sin, and the sin that is not to death is to be born of God and to sin not, keeping yourself and the wicked ones sins do not touch us..
1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
When the righteous man turns from righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die in his sin, any righteousness he did is forgotten.
When anyone as a righteous man commits iniquity according to the abominations of the wicked, he shall not live, in his sin that he has sinned he shall die for tresspassing.
When the wicked turns from his wickedness he shall live, but when the righteous turns from his righteousness he shall die, in the day that he sins..
Ezekiel 3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezekiel 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Ezekiel 33:12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
Also the ones who know righteousness are the ones who have the law of the Lord inside of them...
Isaiah 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
The Gentiles then keep the righteousness of the law, to have their uncircumcision counted as circumcision.
The Gentile then righteously judges the wicked doer by fulfilling the law against the ones who transgress the law..
Romans 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Then the transgressing workers of iniquity are servants to sin, and the righteous believers are servants of obedience unto righteousness..
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
The wicked still deny you can be without sin to only do righteously.
Love works no ill to your neighbour, love is the fulfilling of the law.
Now the righteous follower bears the burdens of their neighbour and so fulfils the law of Christ..
Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
The wicked needs to awake to righteousness, which is to sin not.
There is no communion between righteousness and unrighteousness
The wicked know the way of righteousness, but turn from the Holy commandment ( to love your neighbour and sin not against them) as the wicked after cleaned return to their own filth..
1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2 Peter 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
