Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.

So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children;

So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?
