Romans
8:12 Consequently, brothers, we are
not―with respect to human nature, that is―under an obligation to
live according to human nature.
8:13 For if you live according to human
nature, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you continually
put to death the activities of the body, you will live.
8:14 For all who are led by God’s
Spirit are God’s children.
8:15 For you have not received a spirit
of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received
the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with
our spirit that we are God’s children.
8:17 Now if we are children, we are
heirs―heirs of God and co-heirs with the Messiah―if, in fact, we
share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
8:26 In the same way, the Spirit also
helps us in our weakness, since we do not know how to pray as we
should. But the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans too deep
for words,
8:27 and the one who searches our
hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes for
the saints according to God’s will.
8:28 And we know that for those who
love God, that is, for those who are called according to his purpose,
all things are working together for good.
8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also
predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that
the Son might be the firstborn among many brothers.
