Romans 8 : 12 - 17
Chapter 8
| 12 | Therefore, 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 as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
|
| 15 | For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
|
| 16 | The Spirit Himself bears witness 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 together.
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
