Abba.
 This Spirit dwells in us, acts in us, and brings us in effect into this relationship which has been acquired for us by Christ, through that work which He accomplished for us, entering into it Himself (that is, as man risen). (Romans 8 by J.N. Darby)
 He {the Spirit} instills Himself into our whole moral being-our thoughts, affections, object, action; or, rather, He creates them; He is their source; He acts by producing them. Thus He is practically a Spirit of adoption, because He produces in our souls all that appertains to this relationship. If He acts, our thoughts, our affections, act also; we are in the enjoyment of this relationship by virtue of this action. (Romans 8 by J.N. Darby)

"A spirit of adoption" might read "Spirit of adoption." See Notes on ver. 9 and ch 1.4. "Adoption" is the same word as "sonship" in Gal. 4.5.
