Isaiah 53:4-6

English Standard Version

⁴^(A)Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    ^(B)smitten by God, and afflicted.
⁵^(C)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    ^(D)and with his wounds we are healed.
⁶^(E)All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
^(F)and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

Romans 8:12-18

English Standard Version

Heirs with Christ

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