Romans 9:26

⁹He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi,^[+] for you are not my people, and I will not be yours. ¹⁰Yet 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.’

¹See 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. ²Beloved, 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. ³Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

¹⁶The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

⁶I will tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth—

²⁶For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

¹⁸I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

¹⁶Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

⁵²and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
