15. For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
17. and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Messiah, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed towards us.
19. For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
