11. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that lives in you.
12. Therefore, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.
15. For you have not received the spirit of slavery again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.”
16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God,
17. and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified with Him.
18. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us.
19. The eager expectation of the creation waits for the appearance of the sons of God.
20. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope
21. that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22. We know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23. Not only that, but we also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan within ourselves while eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
24. For we are saved through hope, but hope that is seen is not hope, for why does a man still hope for what he sees?
25. But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26. Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses, for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
27. He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28. We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
29. For those whom He foreknew, He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30. And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified; and those whom He justified, He also glorified.
31. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
