Romans 8:14-21 (Epistle)
- 14
- For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
- 15
- For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
- 16
- The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
- 17
- and if children, then heirs – heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
- 18
- For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
- 19
- For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
- 20
- For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
- 21
- because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
