Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For Those Being So Led By The Spirit Are The Adopted Children of God
14 For[a] all who are being led[b] by the Spirit of God, these are sons[c] of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit[d] of slavery again leading-to fear, but you received a Spirit[e] of adoption by Whom we are crying-out “Abba[f]! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself bears-witness-with our spirit that we are children of God!
