-:''I trust that sometime when I come back again to Oakland, why, maybe we can get something like the auditorium here for a week or two. That’s when we can have a real revival and a real meeting. Don’t you believe that? Yes, I believe we could too. It’s just our schedule has been so irregular. Well, I would say this: we’re just a night or two here and then a hundred miles farther. Just about the time we get the thing, the people settled down to where they can begin to see the supernatural moving of God, then it’s they break up the meeting, go somewhere else two, three, four hundred miles farther and start again, and just when the people are becoming into the revival stage where they can be healed and many things can be done…<ref> William Branham, 47-0412 - Faith Is The Substance, para. 1 </ref>
+Paul's exposition shifted to a focus on the role of the Holy Spirit, who brings pardon and power for the children of God. Those who have been justified have been freed from death. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." God will give life to their mortal bodies through His spirit, who indwells believers. If believers live according to the sinful nature, they will die; but if by the Spirit believers put to death the misdeeds of the body, they will live.
+In contrast to the control of sin, which enslaves to the point of fear, believers have received the Spirit of adoption. So instead of retreating in fear, Christians can approach God in an intimate way, calling Him "Abba, Father." "Abba" is a transliteration of the Aramaic term for father, implying great familiarity and intimacy (see Mark 14:36; Gal. 4:6). The portrait is one of solidarity and relatedness through the Spirit.
+Verse 17 concludes and climaxes a list of conditional "ifs" (see 8:9-11,13). He lifts the issue of suffering beyond their own inner moral struggles to suffering together with Christ as a prelude to being glorified together with Him.<ref>Holman Concise Bible Commentary.</ref>
