The witness with our spirit
This hope implies, first, the testimony of our own spirit, or conscience, that we walk in simplicity and godly sincerity. Second, the testimony of the Spirit of God, bearing witness with, or to, our spirit, that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17).
