John 1:12

12 But to all who did receive him, ^awho believed in his name, ^bhe gave the right ^cto become ^dchildren of God,

Romans 8:14-17

14 For all who are ^eled by the Spirit of God are ^fsons ^{▼▼See discussion on “sons” in the Preface} of God. 15 For ^hyou did not receive ⁱthe spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of ^jadoption as sons, by whom we cry, ^k“Abba! Father!” 16 ^lThe Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then ^mheirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ⁿprovided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

Romans 9:26

26 ^o“And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ^p‘sons of the living God.’”

2 Corinthians 6:18

18 ^qand I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”

Galatians 4:6-7

6 And because you are sons, God has sent ^rthe Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^san heir through God.

1 John 3:1-2

1 See ^twhat kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called ^uchildren of God; and so we are. The reason why ^vthe world does not know us is that ^wit did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are ^xGod’s children ^ynow, and what we will be ^zhas not yet appeared; but we know that ^aawhen he appears ^{▼▼Or when it appears} ^acwe shall be like him, because ^adwe shall see him as he is.
