# believed in his name
The word "name" is a metonym that stands for Jesus's identity and everything about him. Alternate translation: "believed in him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# he gave the right
"he gave them the authority" or "he made it possible for them"
# children of God
The word "children" is a metaphor that represents our relationship to God, which is like children to a father. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
