Father!” 16 (G)The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then (H)heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, (I)provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

  1. Romans 8:14 See discussion on “sons” in the Preface

14 For as many as are led by the Ruach HaElohim, they are bnei HaElohim.
