15. For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.
17. And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed to us.
19. For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:
20. for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected the same, in hope
21. that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
