Instead

There will be descendants who serve him, a generation that will be told about Jehovah.

Everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will receive many times as much, and have everlasting life.

Jesus said: Truly I tell you, a man that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the sake of the good news,

Things that offered gain to me I count a loss for Christ.

Children

You will think in your heart: 'Who brought these children to birth? I am barren (sterile) and bereaved of my children. I am an exiled wonderer. Who gave birth to these? From where did these come?'

Sing joyfully, O barren woman, you who never bore a child! Burst into song and shout for joy, you who were never in labor! More are the children of the desolate woman than of the woman, who has a husband, proclaims Jehovah.

Arise O woman and shine! Your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah beams on you.

The Jerusalem above is free. She is our mother.

Princes

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people for God's own possession, that you may show the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

He made us to be a kingdom of kings and priests to his God and Father. To him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.

You made them kings and priests to our God. They will reign as kings over the earth.

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them. They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall rule as kings with him for the thousand years.
