⁶ This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs^(A) together with Israel, members together of one body,^(B) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.^(C)

²⁵ And this is what he promised us—eternal life.^(A)

¹⁵ The Spirit^(A) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;^(B) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.^[a] And by him we cry, “Abba,^[b] Father.”^{(C) 16} The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit^(D) that we are God’s children.^{(E) 17} Now if we are children, then we are heirs^(F)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings^(G) in order that we may also share in his glory.^(H)

³ We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard,^(A) so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.^(B)

⁵ to redeem^(A) those under the law, that we might receive adoption^(B) to sonship.^{[a](C) 6} Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son^(D) into our hearts,^(E) the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,^[b] Father.”^{(F) 7} So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.^(G)
