Matthew 18:5

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

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.

He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

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

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.

Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward.”

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.”

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

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.

“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.’

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

They rose early in the morning, and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, so you will be established! Believe his prophets, so you will prosper.”

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

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.’

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

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

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

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

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

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

In his name, the nations will hope.”

But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

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

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

Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.

Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

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.”

When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”

Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

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

As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

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.

Moses said, “Now Yahweh will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.”

Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

Also I shook out my lap, and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn’t perform this promise; even may he be shaken out and emptied like this.” All the assembly said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh. The people did according to this promise.

“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

“The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

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.

What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Whoever doesn’t receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

“Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’

“Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

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.”

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

If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
