Romans 8:10-17
New King James Version
10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of (A)Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, (B)He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [a]through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit
12 (C)Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For (D)if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you (E)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For (F)as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For (G)you did not receive the spirit of bondage again (H)to fear, but you received the (I)Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, (J)“Abba,[b] Father.” 16 (K)The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then (L)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, (M)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
