Nay but, O man, who art thou that disputest against God? Shall the thing fashioned say to him that fashioned it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, from the same mass to make one vessel for an honourable use, and another for a dishonourable? But what if God, willing to display his wrath, and to make known what is possible with him, hath borne with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for perdition: read more.
and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon the vessels of mercy which he had before prepared for glory: even us, whom he hath called, not only out of the Jews, but out of the Gentiles? As also he saith in Hosea, "I will call her which was not my people, my people; and her which was not beloved, beloved. And it shall be in the place where it was said unto them, ye are not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God."

For as I walked about, and attentively viewed the objects of your worship, I found even an altar on which was this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you in ignorance adore, him I preach unto you. The God who created the world, and all things in it, he that is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples of man's construction; nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed any creature, himself imparting to all beings life, and breath, and all things. read more.
And hath made from one man's blood all the nations of mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, fixing the predetermined periods of their existence, and the boundaries of their several abodes; that they should seek the Lord, if indeed they might haply grope him out, and find him, though truly he is not far from any individual of us: for from him we derive life, and power of motion, and existence; as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are even his offspring." Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divinity is like to gold, or silver, or stone sculptured by human art or contrivance.

For as many as are guided by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. read more.
But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.

Be not unequally yoked with infidels; for what participation hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what fellowship [is there] between light and darkness? and what concord of Christ with Belial? or what share hath he that believeth with an infidel? or what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, "I will inhabit in them, and walk about in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be for me a people." read more.
"Wherefore go forth from the midst of them, and be ye separated, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you, and I will be as a father unto you, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

Do all things without murmurings or disputes: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the children of God, inoffensive, in the midst of an untoward and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as luminaries in the world;
BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet evident what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.
Light » Who is a light
Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not even whither he is going. While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.

THEN seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and seating himself, his disciples came to him: and opening his mouth, he taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their's is the kingdom of heaven. read more.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be fed to the full. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for their's is the kingdom in heaven. Blessed are ye, when they shall revile and persecute you, and lying, speak every thing evil against you for my sake. Rejoice and exult; for plenteous is your reward in the heavens: for just so they persecuted the prophets who went before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt become insipid, with what can it be salted? it is of no farther use for any purpose, but to be cast out, and trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid that is situated on an eminence. Neither do men burn a lamp, and set it under a bushel, but on its stand; and it sheds light on all that are in the house. Just so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

BE ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an oblation and sacrifice to God, for an odour of a sweet smell. But fornication and all impurity, or insatiable desire, let it not be mentioned among you, as becometh saints; read more.
or obscenity, or foolish talk, or loose witticisms; things which become not [a Christian], but rather thanksgiving. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or impure person, or avaricious, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things, the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;

NOW concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I should write to you: for yourselves know precisely that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction rusheth upon them, as travail on a woman with child, and they shall in no wise escape. read more.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of day: we are not the children of night, nor of darkness.
