We are debtors not to the flesh,
Rather debtors unto the Lord;
Living according to the flesh,
And not being in one accord.
Living by the flesh you will die,
But by the Spirit puts to death;
Deeds of the body that shall lie,
You shall live with spiritual breath.
All who are led by the Spirit,
Are truly being sons of God;
And shall see what they inherit,
By giving to honor and laud.
You did not receive the Spirit,
For slavery to fall in fear;
Nor merely in what you merit,
Rather by being so sincere.
You receive through the adoption,
In being sons by whom we cry;
Abba! Father! As an option,
And never trying to defy.
The Spirit Himself bears witness,
That we remain children of God;
Keeping our spiritual fitness,
Purifying where we are flawed.
And if children then we are heirs,
As being fellow heirs with Christ;
The glorification one shares,
The suffering what He sacrificed.
