Romans 8: 12 - 17
|
| 12
|
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh --
|
| 13
|
for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.
|
| 14
|
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
|
| 15
|
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!"
|
| 16
|
it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
|
| 17
|
and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
