¹² But ^[a]as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become ^(A)children of God, ^(B)to those who ^[b]believe in His name,

⁵² and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also ^(A)gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

¹⁶ The Spirit Himself ^(A)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(B)children of God,

^2 (A)Beloved, now we are ^(B)children of God, and ^(C)it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He ^(D)appears, we will be ^(E)like Him, because we will ^(F)see Him just as He is.

¹⁰ By this the ^(A)children of God and the ^(B)children of the devil are obvious: ^[a]anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who ^(C)does not love his ^(D)brother and sister.
