Romans 8:7-17 - 21
9 But you are not ruled by the power of sin. Instead, the Holy Spirit
rules over you. This is true if the Spirit of God lives in you. Anyone who does
not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Christ. 10 If Christ lives
in you, you will live. Though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit
gives you life. The Spirit does this because you have been made right with
God. 11 The Spirit of the God who raised Jesus from the dead is living in
you. So the God who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your
bodies. He will do this because of his Spirit who lives in you.
12 Brothers and sisters, we have a duty. Our duty is not to live under
the power of sin. 13 If you live under the power of sin, you will die. But
by the Spirit’s power you can put to death the sins you commit. Then you will
live.
14 Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 The Spirit
you received doesn’t make you slaves. Otherwise you would live in fear again.
Instead, the Holy Spirit you received made you God’s adopted child. By the
Spirit’s power we call God Abba. Abba means Father. 16 The Spirit
himself joins with our spirits. Together they tell us that we are God’s
children. 17 As his children, we will receive all that he has for us. We
will share what Christ receives. But we must share in his sufferings if we want
to share in his glory.
