But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of (A)Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, (B)He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [a]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Sonship Through the Spirit

12 (C)Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For (D)if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you (E)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For (F)as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For (G)you did not receive the spirit of bondage again (H)to fear, but you received the (I)Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, (J)“Abba,[b] Father.” 16 (K)The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then (L)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, (M)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh(A) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.(B) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(C) they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you,(D) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[a] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead(E) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies(F) because of[b] his Spirit who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.(G) 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;(H) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,(I) you will live.(J)

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God(K) are the children of God.(L) 15 The Spirit(M) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;(N) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[c] And by him we cry, “Abba,[d] Father.”(O) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit(P) that we are God’s children.(Q) 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(R)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(S) in order that we may also share in his glory.(T)

20 At that day you will know that (A)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 (B)He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and [a]manifest Myself to him.”

22 (C)Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, (D)and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and (E)the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

22 Then Judas(F) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(G)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(H) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(I) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(J)
