¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

²² who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

⁵ And He who did work us to this self-same thing `is' God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

¹³ in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us, because of His Spirit He hath given us.

¹³ in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

¹⁰ He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son;

¹⁹ and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts,

²⁰ because if our heart may condemn -- because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,

²² and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,

³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

¹² For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you;

²⁶ And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth `us', we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

²³ And not only `so', but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body;
