John 1:12

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become ^achildren of God, even ^bto those who believe in His name,

Romans 9:8

8 That is, the children of the flesh are not the ^achildren of God, but the ^bchildren of the promise are considered as seed.

23 for you have been ^aborn again ^bnot of corruptible seed but incorruptible, that is, through the living and enduring ^cword of God.
