Romans 8:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. ¹⁵ The Spirit you received doesn’t make you slaves. Otherwise you would live in fear again. Instead, the Holy Spirit you received made you God’s adopted child. By the Spirit’s power we call God Abba. Abba means Father. ¹⁶ The Spirit himself joins with our spirits. Together they tell us that we are God’s children.
