      Anden själv vittnar tillsammans med vår ande om att vi är Guds barn. Men är vi barn, då är vi också arvingar, Guds arvingar och Kristi medarvingar, om vi delar hans lidande för att också få dela hans härlighet.
      The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. But if we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
    • 2010, Lars Cavallin, transl., Katolska kyrkans katekes[2], Catholica, archived from the original on 20 January 2025, §1265:
      Dopet renar inte bara från alla synder, den gör också den nydöpta människan till "en ny skapelse", upptar henne till Guds son eller dotter som "blivit delaktig av gudomlig natur", en Kristi lem, medarvinge med honom och tempel för den helige Ande.
      Baptism not only purifies from all sins, but also makes the neophyte "a new creature," adopts them as a son or daughter of God who "has become a partaker of the divine nature," a member of Christ, coheir with him, and a temple of the Holy Spirit
