^16 (A)The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then ^(B)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, ^(C)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

²¹ because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of ^[a]corruption into the glorious ^(A)liberty of the children of God.
