Romans 8:15 in Context — Romans 8

13 porque, se viverdes segundo a carne, morrereis; mas se, pelo Espírito, fizerdes morrer as ações do corpo, vivereis.

14 Pois todos quantos são guiados pelo Espírito de Deus são filhos de Deus.

15 Pois não recebestes o espírito de escravidão, para voltardes ao medo; mas recebestes o Espírito de adoção como filhos, pelo qual clamamos: Aba, Pai!

16 O próprio Espírito dá testemunho com o nosso espírito de que somos filhos de Deus.

17 E, se somos filhos, logo somos também herdeiros; herdeiros de Deus, e coerdeiros de Cristo; se sofremos com ele, é para que também com ele sejamos glorificados.
