We should therefore be grateful for the baptism of Jesus Christ, for His resurrection, and for His second coming as well.One must not think that his rebirth from sin depends on his own good deeds. To save us from the sins of the world, and to make us God's children in the likeness of His image, Jesus, who is the true God Himself, received from John the Baptist the baptism through which He accepted the sins of the world; to bear the condemnation of sin, He was crucified and shed His blood on the Cross; and rising from the dead again, He has enabled us to be born again as God's children.Even among the lowly forms of life in this world, there are many creatures that are born twice.
Upang tayo ay maligtas sa mga kasalanan ng sanlibutan, at upang tayo ay maging mga anak ng Diyos sa wangis ng Kanyang anyo, si Jesus, na Siyang tunay na Diyos, tinanggap mula kay Juan Bautista ang bautismo kung saan Kanyang tinanggap ang mga kasalanan ng sanlibutan; upang tiisin ang hatol ng kasalanan, Siya'y napako at nagbubo ng Kanyang dugo sa Krus; at nabuhay na muli, pinahintulot Niya tayo na isilang na muli bilang mga anak ng Diyos.Kahit pa sa mga mabababang anyo ng buhay dito sa lupa, maraming nilalang ang isinilang ng dalawang ulit.
