Most Relevant Verses
The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God.

By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother. Because this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love each other.read more.
Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right. Marvel not, my brothers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death. Every man hating his brother is a man-killer. And ye know that no man-killer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, because that man laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
My son, despise not the chastening of LORD, nor be weary of his reproof.
And have ye forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not disparage the chastening of Lord, nor become disheartened when punished by him? For whom Lord loves he chastens. And he whips every son whom he receives. Because of chastening ye endure; God is treating you as with sons, for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?read more.
And if ye are without chastening, of which all have become participants, then ye are bastards, and not sons. Besides, we indeed have had chastisers--the fathers of our flesh--and we were turned around. Shall we not much more be subordinate to the Father of the spirits, and we will live? For those men indeed for a few days chastened us according to that which seemed good to them, but he for that which is advantageous, in order to be partakers of his holiness. But of course no chastening for the present seems to be of joy but of sorrow, yet afterward it yields peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
