Romans 8:9–18

⁹You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since ^tthe Spirit of God lives in you. ^uBut if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, ^vhe does not belong to Him. ¹⁰Now if Christ is in you, ^wthe body is dead ^xbecause of sin, but the Spirit ^yis life because of righteousness. ¹¹And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead ^zlives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through ^aHis Spirit who lives in you.

The Holy Spirit’s Ministries

¹²So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, ¹³for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, ^byou will live. ¹⁴All those led by God’s Spirit ^care God’s sons. ^d15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, ^ebut you received the Spirit of adoption, ^fby whom we cry out, “^•Abba, Father!” ^g16The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit ^hthat we are God’s children, ¹⁷and if children, also heirs ⁱ—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that ^jwe suffer with Him ^kso that we may also be glorified with Him.

From Groans to Glory

¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing ^lwith the glory ^mthat is going to be revealed to us.
