11

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

12

So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

15

For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

16

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

17

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
