^16 (A)The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then ^(B)heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(C)provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

^5 (A)to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive ^(B)adoption as sons. ⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent ^(C)the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” ⁷ So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then ^(D)an heir through God.

² Beloved, we are ^(A)God's children ^(B)now, and what we will be ^(C)has not yet appeared; but we know that ^(D)when he appears^{[a] (E)}we shall be like him, because ^(F)we shall see him as he is.
