Romans 8:12-17 - The Holy Spirit's Ministries
12 So, brothers, we are under obligations, but not to the physical nature, to live under its control, 13 for if you live under the control of the physical you will die, but if, by means of the Spirit, you put the body's doings to death, you will live. 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.
