Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames.

For this cause I am full of bitter grief; pains like the pains of a woman in childbirth have come on me: I am bent down with sorrow at what comes to my ears; I am shocked by what I see.

A voice has come to my ears like the voice of a woman in birth-pains, the pain of one giving birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, fighting for breath, stretching out her hands, saying, Now sorrow is mine! for my strength is gone from me before the takers of life.

The news of it has come to our ears; our hands have become feeble: trouble has come on us and pain, like the pain of a woman in childbirth.

To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.

For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.

And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house.

Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David, To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. read more.
And she had her first son; and folding him in linen, she put him to rest in the place where the cattle had their food, because there was no room for them in the house.

And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah:

Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.

Because you have had a new birth, not from the seed of man, but from eternal seed, through the word of a living and unchanging God.

Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.

Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you, Without a new birth no man is able to see the kingdom of God.

For you are clearly a letter of Christ, the fruit of our work, recorded not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in stone, but in hearts of flesh.

So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.

Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.
