• Romans 8:14-21
    For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
     
  • 1 John 3:1-2
    Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
     
  • Job 38:7
    When the morning stars sang together,
    And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
     
  • Genesis 6:2
    that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
     
  • Genesis 6:4
    There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
     
  • Job 1:6
    Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.
     
  • Matthew 5:9
    Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
