For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
