Begotten of God for Sonship

Joh 1:12 BSB

But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—

Joh 1:13 BSB

children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.

Adopted by God for Sonship

Eph 1:5 BSB

He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Gal 4:5 BSB

to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.

So which one is it?
