大本538首,创世之前神已预定
创世之前神已预定儿子名分归我享，借着祂灵将我模成祂那儿子的形像；好使祂的独生爱子，在众子中作长子，借祂儿子和其弟兄，满得彰显祂荣姿。
God ordained us unto sonship,
Ere creation's work was done,
To conform us by His Spirit
To the image of His Son;
That His only dear Begotten
Might become the firstborn One,
And by Him with many brethren
His expression full be won.

借着灵中神圣重生，我们得作神众子；但是我们必须成熟，才能作神的后嗣。借着完全长大成人，儿子名分我得享；借着长成丰满身量，后嗣福分我饱尝。
By divine regeneration
We the sons of God became,
But we must mature to fullness,
Thus the birthright to obtain.
Born and fully grown to manhood,
God's adoption we may share;
By the measure of full stature,
We God's sonship will declare.

我们的灵、魂与身体，都需模成主形状；这要完满完成于我，当我进入祂荣光。借着身体得蒙救赎，儿子名分得成全；借着最终一步变化，就能满足神心愿。
All our spirit, soul and body
Unto Christ conformed must be;
This will be accomplished fully
When our glorious Lord we see.
By our body's full redemption
Shall adoption be complete;
By that final transformation
All God's purpose we shall meet.

借那最终一步变化，我们完全被圣别；神将我们带进荣耀，像祂儿子无亏缺。造物都在切望等候神的众子显出来；它们得进“荣耀”自由，脱离辖制与败坏。
By the final transformation,
We'll be fully sanctified;
God will bring us into glory,
With His Son identified.
All creation is expecting
Sons of God revealed to be,
That they might be freed from bondage
Into glorious liberty.
