Romans 8

Thank you, father, that by your grace I no longer walk according to the flesh, but now I am born again by your spirit, and I live according to your spirit. The very spirit of God now dwells in me.

Christ is in me, and my body is dead because of sin, but my spirit is alive forever because of Christ’s righteousness. The very spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me. You, Holy Spirit, give life to my mortal body.

By your spirit, father, I put to death the deeds of my body, and I live in Christ. I am led by you, Holy Spirit, so I know I am God’s child. You, Holy Spirit, bear witness to me in diverse and special ways, so that I know that I am God’s child. Since I am God’s child, I know that I am an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ.

I will be tested in some ways as Jesus was tested, and I will overcome these tests by your presence in me, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and I will be glorified for your pleasure and my joy.
