Sons and Heirs

15 For (A)you did not receive the spirit of bondage again (B)to fear, but you received the (C)Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, (D)“Abba,[a] Father.” 16 (E)The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then (F)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, (G)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
