Romans 8:12-17 - The Holy Spirit's Ministries

¹² You are, therefore, brethren oblig'd to oppose your sensual passions; ¹³ for if you lead a sensual life, you will be miserable: but if through the spirit you mortify the affections of corrupted nature, you will be happy. ¹⁴ as many as are actuated by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ¹⁵ for the spirit you have received is not servile to keep you still in fear; but it is the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, that is, father. ¹⁶ the same spirit testifies to our spirit, that we are the children of God. ¹⁷ and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; although we now suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
