^{16 Ref} The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:

^{17 Ref} And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

^{18 Ref} I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.
