And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
Kwa kuwa hamkupokea tena roho wa utumwa iletayo hofu; bali mlipokea roho ya kufanywa wana, ambayo kwa hiyo twalia, Aba, yaani Baba. Roho mwenyewe hushuhudia pamoja na roho zetu, ya kuwa sisi tu watoto, basi tu warithi; warithi wa Mungu, warithio pamoja na Kristo; naam, tukiteswa pamoja naye ili tupate na kutkuzwa pamoja naye.”
