New Testament

Romans 8:9-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

10. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.

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.
