Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Romános (8,14-17)
Fratres: Quicúmque enim Spíritu Dei agúntur, hi fílii Dei sunt. Non enim accepístis spíritum servitútis íterum in timórem, sed accepístis Spíritum adoptiónis filiórum, in quo clamámus: “Abba, Pater!” Ipse Spíritus testimónium reddit una cum spíritu nostro, quod sumus fílii Dei. Si autem fílii, et herédes: herédes quidem Dei, coherédes autem Christi, si tamen compátimur, ut et conglorificémur.
Brethren: whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of servitude again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, wherein we cry: Abba, (Father). For the Spirit himself, giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God. And if sons, heirs also; heirs truly of God, and coheirs of Christ: yet if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
