12 However, he gave the right to become God’s children to everyone who believed in him. 13 These people didn’t become God’s children in a physical way—from a human impulse or from a husband’s desire ⸤to have a child⸥. They were born from God.
John 1:12–13 — The Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
12 But to all who did receive Him,
