¹⁸ And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, `even' to them that believe on his name:

⁵ that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

⁶ And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

⁷ So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

²⁶ For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

¹⁵ For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁶ The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

¹⁷ and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with `him', that we may be also glorified with `him'.

⁹ They shall come with weeping; and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.

⁶ I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;

²² And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof.

⁸ I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

⁵ having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

²⁹ For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained `to be' conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

⁹ And `Jehovah' said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your `God'.

¹⁰ Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them, `Ye are' the sons of the living God.

¹ At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

¹⁹ But I said, How I will put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! and I said, Ye shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me.

³⁰ A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the `next' generation.

¹⁴ I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

³ And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

¹ And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and `such' we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

² Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
