'Sons' in the Bible

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make perfect the leader of their salvation through sufferings.

And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:

By faith Jacob when dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped on the top of his staff.

By faith Joseph when dying called to mind the going forth of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones.

And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;

Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?

But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
