(13)For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. (14)For as many as are guided by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (15)For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye have received a Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. (16)The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. (17)But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified. (18)For I reckon that the sufferings of the present moment are not worthy to be placed against the future glory that shall be revealed to us. (19)For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the children of God. (20)For the creation was made subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him who made it subject, (21)in hope that the same creation shall be emancipated from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (22)For we know that the whole creation groaneth together and travaileth in birth to this moment. (23)And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting the adoption, the redemption of our body. (24)For by hope we have been saved: now hope seen is not hope; for that which any man seeth how doth he yet hope for? (25)But if we hope for what we see not, we with patience expect it. (26)In like manner also the Spirit affords assistance to our infirmities: for even this, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not: but the same Spirit more abundantly maketh intercession for us with groanings unutterable. (27)Now he that trieth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, for he maketh intercession for the saints according to God's will. (28)But we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, even to those who are called according to his purpose. (29)For whom he foreknew, he predestinated also to a conformity with the image of his Son, that he might be the first-begotten among many brethren. (30)But whom he predestinated, those also he called: and whom he called, those also he justified: but whom he justified, those also he glorified.
