Romans 8:9-19

Romans 8:9-19 CSB

You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.  If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,  he does not belong to him. Now if Christ is in you,  the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit  gives life  because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead  lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through  his Spirit who lives in you. So then, brothers and sisters, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,  you will live. For all those led by God’s Spirit  are God’s sons.  For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear.  Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption,  by whom we cry out, “ Abba ,  Father! ”  The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit  that we are God’s children, and if children, also heirs   #— #heirs of God and coheirs with Christ #— #if indeed we suffer with him  so that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing  with the glory  that is going to be revealed to us. For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation  for God’s sons  to be revealed.
