10. But if Christ is within you, then the body is indeed dead, concerning sin, but the spirit truly lives, because of justification.
11. But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead lives within you, then he who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also enliven your mortal bodies, by means of his Spirit living within you.
12. Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, so as to live according to the flesh.
13. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die. But if, by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14. For all those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.
15. And you have not received, again, a spirit of servitude in fear, but you have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, in whom we cry out: "Abba, Father!"
16. For the Spirit himself renders testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God.
17. But if we are sons, then we are also heirs: certainly heirs of God, but also co-heirs with Christ, yet in such a way that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.
18. For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with that future glory which shall be revealed in us.
19. For the anticipation of the creature anticipates the revelation of the sons of God.
20. For the creature was made subject to emptiness, not willingly, but for the sake of the One who made it subject, unto hope.
21. For the creature itself shall also be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God.
22. For we know that every creature groans inwardly, as if giving birth, even until now;
23. and not only these, but also ourselves, since we hold the first-fruits of the Spirit. For we also groan within ourselves, anticipating our adoption as the sons of God, and the redemption of our body.
