11 The Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. He who raised Jesus from the dead will also give life to your dead bodies through his Spirit that lives in you. 12 So brothers and sisters, we don’t have to follow8:12. Or "have no obligation to." our sinful nature that operates according to our human desires. 13 For if you live under the control of your sinful nature, you’re going to die. But if you follow the way of the Spirit, putting to death the evil things you do, then you will live. 14 All those who are led by the Spirit of God are God’s children. 15 You were not given a spirit to enslave and terrify you once more. No, what you received was the spirit that makes you children in God’s family. Now we can shout out, "God is our Father!" 16 The Spirit himself agrees with us8:16. Literally, "our spirit." that we’re God’s children. 17 If we’re his children, then we’re his heirs. We are heirs of God, and heirs together with Christ. But if we want to share in his glory we must share in his sufferings.
