6. 1 Peter 1:17-19
And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially
according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with
fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you
were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your
forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,
but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb
without blemish or spot.
Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin came into the
world through one man,
and death through sin, and so death
spread to all men because all sinned--

8. Galatians 3:26-29
… for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
For as many of you as were baptized
into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor
free, there is neither male nor female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring,
heirs according to promise.

9. Romans 4:13-25 (16-18)
That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may
rest on grace and
Be guaranteed to all his offspring—
not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one
who shares the faith of Abraham,
who is the father of us all, as it is written,
"I have made you the father of many nations“
--in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who
gives life to the dead and calls into existence
the things that do not exist.
In hope he believed against hope,
that he should become the father of many nations,
as he had been told, "So shall your offspring be."

10. John 1:11-13
He came to his own, and his own people
did not receive him.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name,
He gave the right to become children of God,
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of
the will of man, but of God.

11. Revelation 5:9-10
And they sang a new song, saying,
"Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its
seals, for you were slain,
and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every
tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and
priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

12. Mark 3:33-34
And he answered them,
"Who are my mother and my brothers?"
And looking about at those who sat around him, he said,
"Here are my mother and my brothers!
Whoever does the will of God,
he is my brother and sister and mother."
