John 1:12

For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

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

“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,

I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

“But I said, ‘How I desire to put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!’ and I said, ‘You shall call me “My Father”, and shall not turn away from following me.’

Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”

I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

Will you not from this time cry to me, ‘My Father, you are the guide of my youth?’

Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can’t be measured or counted; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for Yahweh, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”

For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.

They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into Yahweh’s house.

In his name, the nations will hope.”

and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”

They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

You are the children of Yahweh your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.

having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.

Who has believed our message? To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed?

Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
