Romans 8:17

Read in context

Romans 8:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.

19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
