Romans 4:11-16

11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith of which he had in the uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, even through uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be counted to them; 12 and the father of circumcision, to those not only from the circumcision, but to those who also are marching in the footprints of the faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
13 For the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those from the law are heirs, the faith has been made void and the promise has been done-away-with. 15 For the law is working wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there transgression. 16 Because of this, it is from faith, in order that it may be according to grace; that the promise may be steadfast to all the seed; not to what is only from the law, but also to what is from the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

Romans 8:14

Galatians 3:26-29

26 For you are all sons of God, through the faith, in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many as were immersed into Christ were clothed with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondservant nor free man, there is no male and female; for you all are one in Christ Jesus. 29 But if you are Christ’s, you are also Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 4:22-31

22 For it has been written, that Abraham had two sons, one from the maidservant and one from the free woman. \ulnone\nosupersub 23 But indeed the one from the maidservant has been born according to the flesh, but the one from the free woman has been born through the promise. 24 Which things are allegorized; for these women are two covenants; indeed one from Mount Sinai, who is Hagar, giving-birth to children into bondage. 25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the Jerusalem which is now and she is enslaved with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of all of us. 27 For it has been written, ‘Barren one who is not bearing children, be joyous; burst forth and cry, the one who are not travailing, because many more are the children of the desolate rather than from her who has the husband.’ 28 Now brethren, we are children of the promise according to Isaac. 29 But just-like then, he who was born according to the flesh was persecuting the one who was born according to the Spirit, so it is also now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? Cast out the maidservant and her son; for the son of the maidservant may never inherit with the son of the free woman. \ulnone\nosupersub 31 Consequently, brethren, we are not children of a maidservant, but of the free woman.

1 John 3:1-2

1 Behold what sort of love the Father has given to us, in order that we might be called children of God. Because of this, the world does not know you, because it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are now the children of God and it was not yet manifested what we will be. But we know that, if he is manifested, we will be similar to him, because we will be seeing him just-as he is.
