9. And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ--this one is not His;
10. and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
11. and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
12. So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13. for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;
14. for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
15. for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba--Father.'
16. The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
17. and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ--if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
18. For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19. for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;
20. for to vanity was the creation made subject--not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] --in hope,
21. that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22. for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.
23. And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting--the redemption of our body;
