Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Study Note
The logic of adoption — 'if children, then heirs; heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him' — establishes a participatory pattern: sharing Christ's suffering is the path to sharing his glory. The legal metaphor of heirship implies that believers are entitled to the inheritance not on their own merit but by virtue of their adopted status as co-heirs with the Son. The 'if' of suffering ('provided we suffer with him') is not a condition of uncertain fulfillment but a description of the normal shape of Christian existence between conversion and eschatological completion. Colossians 1:24 and 2 Timothy 2:12 develop the same pattern of shared suffering and shared glorification as constituent elements of union with Christ.

and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ--if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.
