Adoption
Compound phrase (‘to be made sons/children’) is preferred as the primary Bible-register rendering; kuasili is the standard legal-administrative word for adoption in modern Swahili and may be used to clarify the full-inheritance-rights sense in Romans 8:17, but should not fully replace the established Bible phrase, which carries more relational and filial warmth.
