Romans 8:12-17 - The Holy Spirit's Ministries
12 Well then, my brothers, we owe a duty ??but it is not to the flesh! It is not to live by the flesh! 13 If you live by the flesh, you are on the road to death; but if by the Spirit you put the actions of the body to death, you will live. 14 For the sons of God are those who are guided by the Spirit of God. 15 You have received no slavish spirit that would make you relapse into fear; you have received the Spirit of sonship. And when we cry, "Abba! Father!", 16 it is this Spirit testifying along with our own spirit that we are children of God; 17 and if children, heirs as well, heirs of God, heirs along with Christ ??for we share his sufferings in order to share his glory.
