Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.<br \/>\n10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.<br \/>\n11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.<br \/>\n12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.<br \/>\n13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.<br \/>\n14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.<br \/>\n15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.<br \/>\n16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:<br \/>\n17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.<br \/>\n18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.<br \/>\n19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.<br \/>\n20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,<br \/>\n21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.<br \/>\n22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.<br \/>\n23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.<br \/>\n24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?<br \/>\n25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.<br \/>\n26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.<br \/>\n27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.<br \/>\n28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.<br \/>\n29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.<br \/>\n30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.<br \/>\n31 What shall we then say to these things?
