Exegesis
The adjective isangeloi {ἰσάγγελοι | isánggeloi} ‘equal to angels’ functions as a predicate nominative with eisin {εἰσιν | eísin}, and is coordinated with another predicate nominative phrase kai huioi eisin theou {καὶ υἱοί εἰσιν θεοῦ | kaí huioí eísin theoû} ‘and they are sons of God’, creating parallel descriptions of their new status.
The genitive theou {θεοῦ | theoû} ‘of God’ is a genitive of relationship, defining divine sonship.
