However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you..." Romans 8:6-9a

"For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." Romans 8:14

"Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin." Romans 6:4-7

"For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace." Romans 6:14
