23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits ^kof the Spirit, ^lgroan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a ^wguarantee.¹

13 In him you also, when you ^vheard the ^wword of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were ^xsealed with ^ythe promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the ^zguarantee¹ of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,² to the praise of his glory.
