Romans 8:13-15
Worldwide English (New Testament)
13 If you live the way your bodies wants to live, you will die. But if, by the help of the Spirit, you stop doing the wrong things your bodies want to do, you will live.
14 All who do what God's Spirit leads them to do are God's sons.
15 The Holy Spirit you have received does not make you a slave again so that you are afraid. But the Spirit you have received makes you sons of God.
