19 So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
21 in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
22 in whom you also are being built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
26 And if one part suffers, all the parts suffer together; or if one part is honored, all the parts rejoice together.
5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He bestowed favor upon us in the Beloved.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
17 And if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together, so that we may also be glorified together.
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 from whom every family in heaven and upon earth takes its name,
5 so we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! On account of this the world does not know you, because it did not know Him.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 so that He might redeem those under the law, so that we might receive the adoption.
6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"
7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.
10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those who are of the household of faith.
12 But as many as received Him, He gave them the authority to become children of God, to those who believe in His name;
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
33 But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"
34 And when He had looked around in a circle at those sitting around Him, He said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!
35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."
7 It is for discipline [that] you endure; God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we respected [them.] Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
10 For they indeed disciplined us for a few days, as seemed best to them, but He [disciplines us ]for [our] good, so that we may partake of His holiness.
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, just as is the custom for some, but exhorting [one another], and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would have loved Me, for I came forth and have come from God; nor have I come from Myself, but He sent Me.
1 Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but [rather ]exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,
2 older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
35 And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.
