12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. |
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. |
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. |
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. |
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: |
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. |
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. |
