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.

22 and who has also ^bput his seal on us and given us his Spirit ^cin our hearts as a ^dguarantee.¹

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