10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of aHim who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, bHe who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies1 through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit
12 aTherefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For aif you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you bput to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For aas many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For ayou did not receive the spirit of bondage again bto fear, but you received the cSpirit of adoption by whom we cry out, d“Abba, Father.”
16 aThe Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then aheirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, bif indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
18 For I consider that athe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For athe earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
