¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

²³ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

²⁵ But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

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.
