we are God’s children now.
What we shall be

keeps himself pure,
just as he is pure. - A man’s attraction is his kindness;

who does not harm a friend
and does not scorn a neighbor. - Good and upright is the Lord;

and teaches them the path to follow. - And now, what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away, calling on his name.
