Romans 8:15
15The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. ▼▼The Greek word for adoption to sonship is a term referring to the full legal standing of an adopted male heir in Roman culture; also in verse 23.
And by him we cry, ‘Abba, ▼▼Aramaic for father
Father.’
