Romans 8:12-17

1. 12

   Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

2. 13

   For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.

3. 14

   For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

4. 15

   For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).

5. 16

   For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.

6. 17

   And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
