Romans 8:12-17
Legacy Standard Bible
12 So then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for (A)if you are living according to the flesh, you [a]must die, but if by the Spirit you are (B)putting to death the (C)practices of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are (D)being led by the Spirit of God, these are (E)sons of God. 15 For you (F)have not received a spirit of slavery [b]leading to fear again, but you (G)have received the Spirit of adoption as sons by whom we cry out, “(H)Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself (I)testifies with our spirit that we are (J)children of God, 17 and if children, also (K)heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, (L)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

12 So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,(A) you will live. 14 All those led by God’s Spirit(B) are God’s sons.(C) 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,(D) but you received the Spirit of adoption,(E) by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”(F) 16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit(G) that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs(H)—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that[a] we suffer with Him(I) so that we may also be glorified with Him.
