¹⁴ For all who are ^(A)led by the Spirit of God are ^(B)sons^[a] of God.

¹⁸ But if you are ^(A)led by the Spirit, ^(B)you are not under the law.

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.

Keep in Step with the Spirit

¹⁶ But I say, ^(A)walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify ^(B)the desires of the flesh.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, patience, ^(C)kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ^23 (D)gentleness, ^(E)self-control; ^(F)against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ Jesus ^(G)have crucified the flesh with its ^(H)passions and desires.

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, ^(I)let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

^7 (A)The one who conquers will have this heritage, and ^(B)I will be his God and ^(C)he will be my son.

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.
