And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"

So then, brothers, we are not children of the servant girl, but of the free [woman].

Stand fast therefore in the freedom in which Christ has made us free, and do not be loaded down again with a yoke of bondage.

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

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

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.

And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I [am] your shield. Your reward shall be very great.

And I will establish My covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and the God of your seed after you.

And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land in which you sojourn, even all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: You are He that restores my inheritance to me.

My heart and my flesh have failed; [but] God [is the strength] of my heart, and God is my portion forever.

Such is not the portion of Jacob; for He that formed all things, He is his inheritance; the Lord is His name.

For this is My covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: after those days, says the Lord, I will surely put My laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts. And I will be to them a God, and they shall be to Me a people.

and they shall be to Me a people, and I will be to them a God.

And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, which I will by no means turn away from them, and I will put My fear into their heart, that they may not depart from Me.

The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for Him.

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:

And you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

And what union is there for the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, just as God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

"I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty."

He that overcomes I shall give to him these things, and I shall be God to him, and he shall be to Me a son.
