| 1 | I haven't got a son, so I adopted one from my eldest brother. | |
| 2 | Sir George Staunton was at liberty to adopt him as his heir, if he pleased. | |
| 3 | According to the traditional system, the pointed heir must be the same clan. The person with different family name is not allowed to be the heir. | |
| 4 | But every man's own children are his heirs and successors, and there are no wills. | |
| 5 | If someone came to you with that reading of that text in the Gospel of Luke arguing for an adoptionist Christology, how would you argue against that interpretation? |
