¹⁴ For all who are ^(A)led by the Spirit of God are ^(B)sons^[a] of God. ¹⁵ For ^(C)you did not receive ^(D)the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of ^(E)adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ^(F)“Abba! 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.

⁴ But ^(A)when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, ^(B)born ^(C)of woman, born ^(D)under the law, ^5 (E)to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive ^(F)adoption as sons. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent ^(G)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(H)an heir through God.
