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.”

^5 (A)to redeem those who were under the law, ^(B)that we might receive the adoption as sons.

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent forth ^(C)the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ^[a]“Abba, Father!” ⁷ Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, ^(D)and if a son, then an heir ^[b]of God ^[c]through Christ.

⁷ For ^(A)God has not given us a spirit of fear, ^(B)but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but ^(A)the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

^16 (A)The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

¹⁵ and release those who ^(A)through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

^5 (A)having predestined us to ^(B)adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, ^(C)according to the good pleasure of His will,

¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

³⁶ And He said, ^(A)“Abba, Father, ^(B)all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; ^(C)nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”
