BORN OUT FROM GOD
ONES BELIEVING ARE BEGOTTEN AGAIN
1 Peter 1:23  Being born again [anagennaw, not gennaw anwqen born from above], not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God (incorruptible seed that was sown), which liveth and abideth for ever.
ONES BELIEVING HAVE A LIVING HOPE
1 Peter 1:3-5  Blessed be the God … according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again [anagennaw, not gennaw anwqen born from above] unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  4  To [for] an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,  5  Who are kept by the power of God through faith …

God is active in this birth or new beginning
This birth out from God is found in 1 Peter 1:3, 23. In verse 23 we find that these were “begotten again” by the word of God the incorruptible seed. The phrase “begotten again” is not the same word as found in John 3:3.
