*A.)* Jesus Christ, John 3:3-5, Douay Rheims:

[3] Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, *unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.* [4] Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born again? [5] Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee,  *unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.*

Commentary, Douay Rheims: [5] "Unless a man be born again": By these words our Saviour hath declared *the necessity of baptism;* and *by the word water* it is evident that the *application of it is necessary with the words.* Matt. 28. 19.

*B.)* St. Peter, Acts 4:12:

[12] Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.

*C.)* St. Paul, Acts 17:30, Douay Rheims:

[30] And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should everywhere do penance.
