¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

⁵² And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

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

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

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

¹⁵ That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
