¹¹And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ, from the dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.

¹³For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.

¹⁴For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

¹⁵For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear: but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).

¹⁶For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God.

¹⁷And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

¹⁸For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us.

¹⁹For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.

²⁰For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope.

²¹Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

²²For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.

²³And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.

Read in Logos

Romans 8:15: For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
