By this the love of God is manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

Whereas I was very little before You, O Lord, my Lord, yet You spoke concerning the house of Your servant for a long time [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?

How abundant is the multitude of Your goodness, O Lord, which You have laid up for them that fear You! You have wrought [it] out for them that hope on You, in the presence of the sons of men.

How have You multiplied Your mercy, O God! So the children of men shall trust in the shelter of Your wings.

For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we shall see light.

[A Psalm] of instruction for Ethan the Israelite. I will sing of Your mercies, O Lord, forever; I will declare Your truth with my mouth to all generations.

For You have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; Your truth shall be established in the heavens.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up on behalf of us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height--

and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

And I said, So be it, Lord, for [You said] I will set you among children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles. And I said, You shall call me Father; and you shall not turn away from Me.

Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God.

But as many as received Him, He gave them the authority to become children of God, to those who believe in His name;

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

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

As also in Hosea He says: "I will call those My people who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved."

"And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' there they shall be called sons of the living God."

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

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.

so that He might redeem those under the law, so that we might receive the adoption.

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

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.

"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

And these things they will do [to you] because they did not know the Father nor Me.

O righteous Father! Indeed the world did not know You, yet I knew You; and these knew that You sent Me.

For you died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.
