Romans 8:12-17 - The Holy Spirit's Ministries
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 shall die: but if, through the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For you have not again received the spirit of bondage, that you may fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself testifies 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 indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together.
