But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 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.

However, you are not (A)in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God (B)dwells in you. But (C)if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 (D)If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is [a]alive because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who (E)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, (F)He who raised (G)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [b]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

12 So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for (H)if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are (I)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are (J)being led by the Spirit of God, these are (K)sons and daughters of God. 15 For you (L)have not received a spirit of slavery [c]leading to fear again, but you (M)have received [d]a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “(N)Abba! [e]Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself (O)testifies with our spirit that we are (P)children of God, 17 and if children, (Q)heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, (R)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
