For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not as spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! |
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery again with resulting fear, but you received the Spirit who places you as adult sons, by whom we cry out with deep emotion, Abba, [namely] Father. |

Nor are you meant to relapse into the old slavish attitude of fear – you have been adopted into the very family circle of God and you can say with a full heart, “Father, my Father.” |
For you do not have a sense of servitude to fill you with dread again, but the consciousness of adopted sons by which we cry, “Abba,” that is, “Father.” |
