Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.

You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you: read more. in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same. read more. If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing? Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

But take heed that you do not your righteousness before the people, in order to be seen by them: else you have no reward with your Father who is in the heavens:

and if you do not forgive the people, your Father will not forgive you your trespasses.

Look unto the fowls of heaven, how they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not more excellent than they?

At that time Jesus responding said, I praise thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and reveal them unto babes.

At that time Jesus responding said, I praise thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and reveal them unto babes.

Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. But let the one having ears, hear.

And having gone forward a little, He fell on His face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: moreover not as I will, but as thou wilt.

And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have aught against any one; in order that your Father who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses.

Moreover love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest: because He is good to the ungrateful and wicked. Therefore be ye merciful, as your Father is indeed merciful.

And turning to His disciples, He said, All things have been delivered to me by my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom He may wish to reveal Him.

And He said to them, When you pray, say, Our Father, let thy name be hallowed: let thy kingdom come:

If then you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, then how much more will your Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

And calling with a loud voice, Jesus said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, He expired.

But so many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become the children of God, to those believing on His name: who were born not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. read more. The Word was made flesh, and tented among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten with the Father), full of grace and truth.

No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, the one being in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared him.

Jesus responded and said to him, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, unless any one may be born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus says to him; How is a man able to be born, being old? whether he is able to enter the second time into the womb of his mother, and be born? read more. Jesus responded, Truly, truly, I say unto thee, Unless any one may be born of water and Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of the heavens. That which has been born of the flesh is flesh; and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.

That which has been born of the flesh is flesh; and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. Be not astonished because I said to thee; It behooveth you to be born from above. read more. The Spirit breathes on whom He willeth, and thou hearest His voice, but dost not know whence He cometh and whither He goeth; so is every one who has been born of the Spirit.

No one is able to come unto me, unless the Father who sent me may draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.

And He said, Therefore I have said unto you, that no one is able to come unto me, unless it may have been given unto him of the Father.

They responded and said to Him, Abraham is our Father. Jesus says to them, If you were the children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard with God: Abraham did not this. read more. You are doing the works of your father. They said to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, God. Jesus said to them; If God were your Father, you would love me: for I came out from God, and I return; for I have not spoken from myself, but He sent me.

And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye are gods?

And not only for the nation, but that He may gather into one the children of God dispersed abroad.

Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh to the Father, but through me.

In that day you shall know that I am in the Father, you in me, and I in you.

Jesus says to her, Cling not to me; for I have not ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

and these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; and in order that believing you may have life through His name.

For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring.

having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord:

For so many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father. read more. The Spirit Himself witnesses along with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of these present times are not worthy to be compared to the glory which is about to be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature awaits the revelation of the sons of God. For the creature has been subordinated to mortality, not willingly, but through Him who subordinated it; therefore indeed pursuant to hope, the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that all creation groans together and travails together until now; and not only so, but we ourselves, having the earnest of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our body.

and not only so, but we ourselves, having the earnest of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for why does any one indeed hope for that which he sees? read more. But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

who are Israelites, of whom is the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises:

that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved: and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:

and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him. For every one who may call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

But I say, Whether does not Israel know? Moses first says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, and with a nation void of understanding I will anger you.

But before faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith about to be revealed.

For you are all the sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus;

in love having predestinated us unto the adoption of sons unto himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, unto the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved: read more. in whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of transgressions, according to the riches of his grace, which he has abounded unto us in all wisdom and understanding, having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his own good pleasure, which he purposed in himself in the economy of the fulness of the times, to rehead all things in Christ, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth; in him, in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to the counsel of his own will; that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ: in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the earnest of our salvation, unto the redemption of the possession, unto the praise of his glory.

who is the earnest of our salvation, unto the redemption of the possession, unto the praise of his glory. Therefore I also, having heard of the faith among you in the Lord Jesus, and your love which is toward all the saints, read more. I do not cease giving thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers; in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself; the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints,

in order that you may be blameless and pure, the children of God, irreproachable, amid a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

For to which one of the angels at any time did he say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be unto him a Father, and he shall be unto me a Son?

But we see Jesus humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one. For it became him, on account of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in leading many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering. read more. For both the one sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, I will proclaim thy name to thy brethren, in the midst of the church will sing praises to thee. And again, I will put my trust in him: and again; Behold, I and the children which God has given unto me. Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil; and might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death. For not yet does he take upon himself the nature of angels, but he takes upon himself the seed of Abraham. Therefore he ought in all things to be made like unto his brethren, in order that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things appertaining to God, to the end that he may atone for the sins of the people. For in that he himself suffered being tempted, he is able to succor those who are tempted.

For you have not yet resisted unto blood, fighting against sin; and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art proven of him: read more. for whom the Lord loves he chastises, and scourges every son whom he receives. Endure unto chastisement; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father does not chastise? And if you are without chastisement, of which all have been partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Then indeed, we had fathers of our flesh who chastised us, and we endured: how much more then shall we submit to the Father of spirits, and live? For they indeed for a few days were accustomed to chastise us according to that which seemed right to them; but he made unto our profit, in order that we might partake his holiness. Indeed no chastisement for the present seems to be truly joyful, but sorrowful: but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who have been disciplined by it. Therefore hold up the hands which hang down, and the paralyzed knees, and make straight paths for your feet, in order that whatsoever is lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather may it be healed.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change. Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be some first fruit of his creations.

Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, to relieve the orphans and widows in their affliction, and keep himself unspotted from the world.

With it we bless the Lord, even the Father; and with it we scold the people, who have been made after the image of God:

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

And if you call upon the Father, the One judging without respect of persons according to the work of each, pass the time of your sojourn with fear,

having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides.

Therefore having laid aside all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all calumniations; like newly born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, in order that you may grow thereby unto salvation: read more. if you have tasted that the Lord is good. Unto whom going forth, to a living stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect with God, precious, and you, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable unto God through Jesus Christ. Because it runs thus in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and the one believing on him can not be ashamed. Therefore to you who believe he is precious: but to the unbelievers, the stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner, and the stone of stumbling, and the rock of offence, who stumble over the word, disbelieving: unto which they indeed were appointed. But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people unto conquest; in order that you may proclaim the virtues of the one having called you out of darkness unto his own marvelous light: who at one time were no people, but now you are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, lint just now having received mercy.

who at one time were no people, but now you are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, lint just now having received mercy.

because this is all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

No one denying the Son has the Father: the one confessing the Son has also the Father.

If you may know that he is righteous, know that every one doing righteousness has been born of him.

Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he may be made manifest, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

Every one having been born of God does not sin; because his seed remains in him: and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

Beloved, let us love one another with divine love: because divine love is of God; and the one loving with divine love has been born of God, and knows God.

Every one believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God: and every one loving with divine love him who begat, also loves him who has been begotten of him, with divine love.

because everything which has been born of God conquers the world: and this is the victory which has conquered the world, our faith.

The one conquering shall inherit all things; and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me a son. But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and the murderers, and the fornicators, and the sorcerers, and the idolaters, and all liars, shall be their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
