^10 [a] Yet ^(A)the number of the children of Israel shall be ^(B)like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. ^(C)And ^(D)in the place where it was said to them, ^(E)“You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, ^(F)“Children^[b] of ^(G)the living God.”

¹² But to all who did receive him, ^(A)who believed in his name, ^(B)he gave the right ^(C)to become ^(D)children of God,

²⁶ for in Christ Jesus ^(A)you are all sons of God, through faith.

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent ^(A)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(B)an heir through God.

3 See ^(A)what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called ^(B)children of God; and so we are. The reason why ^(C)the world does not know us is that ^(D)it did not know him. ² Beloved, we are ^(E)God's children ^(F)now, and what we will be ^(G)has not yet appeared; but we know that ^(H)when he appears^{[a] (I)}we shall be like him, because ^(J)we shall see him as he is.
