¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead^(A) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies^(B) because of^[a] his Spirit who lives in you.

¹² Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.^{(C) 13} For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;^(D) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,^(E) you will live.^(F)

¹⁴ For those who are led by the Spirit of God^(G) are the children of God.^{(H) 15} The Spirit^(I) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;^(J) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.^[b] And by him we cry, “Abba,^[c] Father.”^{(K) 16} The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit^(L) that we are God’s children.^{(M) 17} Now if we are children, then we are heirs^(N)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings^(O) in order that we may also share in his glory.^(P)

Present Suffering and Future Glory

¹⁸ I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.^{(Q) 19} For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God^(R) to be revealed.
