I would prefer "might become" due to the subjunctive mood. While we in the
English struggle with understanding the thought of the passive, the fact is
that we do not make oursleves heirs, but we are made heirs. That is the
thought which Peter is communicating.

Charles,
Question. So now what do you have to say? I think that rather than "be
made" this is simply "become."
