^5 (A)he predestined us^[a] for ^(B)adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, ^(C)according to the purpose of his will,

²⁹ For those whom he ^(A)foreknew he also ^(B)predestined ^(C)to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be ^(D)the firstborn among many brothers. ³⁰ And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also ^(E)justified, and those whom he justified he also ^(F)glorified.

¹¹ In him we have obtained ^(A)an inheritance, ^(B)having been predestined ^(C)according to the purpose of him who works all things according to ^(D)the counsel of his will,

^5 (A)to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive ^(B)adoption as sons. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent ^(C)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

3 See ^(A)what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called ^(B)children of God; and so we are. The reason why ^(C)the world does not know us is that ^(D)it did not know him.

¹² But to all who did receive him, ^(A)who believed in his name, ^(B)he gave the right ^(C)to become ^(D)children of God,

²⁶ for in Christ Jesus ^(A)you are all sons of God, through faith.

²³ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have ^(A)the firstfruits of the Spirit, ^(B)groan inwardly as ^(C)we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, ^(D)the redemption of our bodies.

¹⁴ For all who are ^(A)led by the Spirit of God are ^(B)sons^[a] of God. ¹⁵ For ^(C)you did not receive ^(D)the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of ^(E)adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ^(F)“Abba! Father!” ^16 (G)The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then ^(H)heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(I)provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
