¹⁴ For ^(A)as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

¹⁸ But ^(A)if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹² But ^(A)as many as received Him, to them He gave the ^[a]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Sons and Heirs

²⁶ For you ^(A)are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Walking in the Spirit

¹⁶ I say then: ^(A)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, ^(C)goodness, ^(D)faithfulness, ^23 [a]gentleness, self-control. ^(E)Against such there is no law. ²⁴ And those who are Christ’s ^(F)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ^25 (G)If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

⁷ He who overcomes ^[a]shall inherit all things, and ^(A)I will be his God and he shall be My son.

The Command to Love

3 Behold ^(A)what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that ^(B)we should be called children of ^[a]God! Therefore the world does not know ^[b]us, ^(C)because it did not know Him.
