Romans 8:12-17 - The Holy Spirit's Ministries
12 Therefore, brothers, we are debtors??ut not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; 13 for if you go on living according to the flesh, you are on the road to die; but if by the Spirit you keep putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For only those are sons of God who are led by God's Spirit. 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery in order that you should once more be afraid; but you have received a spirit of adoption, in which we cry out, "My Father, my dear Father!" 16 For his 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; but to share his glory, we must now be sharing his sufferings.
