Instead

Posterity will serve Him;

It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name’s sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,

But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

Children

“Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have been bereaved of my children
And am barren, an exile and a wanderer?
And who has reared these?
Behold, I was left alone;

From where did these come?’”

“Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.

Princes

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a

holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to

His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”

Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

General references

To make them sit with princes,
