^13 (A)By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

^24 (A)Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,^[a] and God^[b] in him. And ^(B)by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

^20 (A)built on the foundation of the ^(B)apostles and prophets, ^(C)Christ Jesus himself being ^(D)the cornerstone, ^21 (E)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(F)a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him ^(G)you also are being built together ^(H)into a dwelling place for God by^[a] the Spirit.

^16 (A)Do you not know that you^[a] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For ^(B)God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

^15 (A)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. ¹⁶ So ^(B)we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. ^(C)God is love, and ^(D)whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, patience, ^(C)kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ^23 (D)gentleness, ^(E)self-control; ^(F)against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ Jesus ^(G)have crucified the flesh with its ^(H)passions and desires.

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, ^(I)let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

¹² Now ^(A)we have received not ^(B)the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.

¹⁹ Or ^(A)do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? ^(B)You are not your own,

⁹ You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact ^(A)the Spirit of God dwells in you. ^(B)Anyone who does not have ^(C)the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. ¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹ If the Spirit of ^(D)him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus^[a] from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^(E)through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Heirs with Christ

¹² So then, brothers,^[b] we are debtors, ^(F)not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. ¹³ For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you ^(G)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. ¹⁴ For all who are ^(H)led by the Spirit of God are ^(I)sons^[c] of God. ¹⁵ For ^(J)you did not receive ^(K)the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of ^(L)adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ^(M)“Abba! Father!” ^16 (N)The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then ^(O)heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(P)provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
