8:12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.
8:13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
