Sons of God

As I was reading Genesis and Job, I came upon the phrase "sons of God". People explain the meaning of the phrase in various ways but I wanted to know what the Bible say about it. Rather than relying on what theologians say about it, I like what the Bible explains itself.


Here are the instances where the phrase comes up in the Bible:

Gen 6:2	That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen 6:4	There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
Job 1:6	Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1	Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Job 38:7	When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Jhn 1:12	But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Rom 8:14	For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:19	For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Phl 2:15	That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
1Jo 3:1	Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1Jo 3:2	Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
