5 lhe predestined us1 for madoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, naccording to the purpose of his will,
4 But dwhen the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, eborn fof woman, born gunder the law, 5 hto redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive iadoption as sons.
12 But to all who did receive him, swho believed in his name, the gave the right uto become vchildren of God,
17 and if children, then lheirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, mprovided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
18 iand I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
12 jThe one who conquers, I will make him ka pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him lthe name of my God, and mthe name of the city of my God, mthe new Jerusalem, nwhich comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own onew name.
15 For gyou did not receive hthe spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of iadoption as sons, by whom we cry, j“Abba! Father!”
6 And because you are sons, God has sent jthe Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
18 For athrough him we both have baccess in cone Spirit to the Father.
13 As ra father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion pto those who fear him.
26 In the fear of the Lord one has mstrong confidence,
7 ycasting all your anxieties on him, because zhe cares for you.
6 For hthe Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
8 rIn overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
sbut with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like tthe days of Noah1 to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
31 wFor the Lord will not
cast off forever,
30 And ddo not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, eby whom you were sealed for the day of fredemption.
14 Are they not all ministering spirits ysent out to serve for the sake of those who are to zinherit salvation?
12 so that you may not be sluggish, but dimitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
