Romans 8:14-21 - The Yeast Of The Pharisees And Herod

14 For all who are guided by God's Spirit are God's sons. 15 It is not a consciousness of servitude that has been imparted to you, to fill you with fear again, but the consciousness of adoption as sons, which makes us cry, "Abba!" that is, Father. 16 The Spirit itself testifies with our spirits that we are God's children, 17 and if children, heirs also; heirs of God, and fellow-heirs with Christ, if we really share his sufferings in order to share his glory too.

18 For I consider what we suffer now not to be compared with the glory that is to burst upon us. 19 For creation is waiting with eager longing for the sons of God to be disclosed. 20 For it was not the fault of creation that it was frustrated; it was by the will of him who condemned it to that, and in the hope 21 that creation itself would be set free from its bondage to decay, and have the glorious freedom of the children of God.
