²⁶ And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

⁶ I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;

⁹ And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.

¹⁰ But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God

¹⁶ And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁵² And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

¹⁶ The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:

¹⁸ And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

²⁶ Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

¹ See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

² My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

³ And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.
