Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ Πνεύματι ἡμῶν
˱with˲_the Spirit ˱of˲_us
Here, spirit refers to a person’s attitude or emotional state. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “a mental state”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τέκνα Θεοῦ
children ˱of˲_God
Here Paul uses children of God to refer to people who have a father-child relationship with God because they trust in Jesus. Here, children does not refer to young people, but only to the relationship that people have with their fathers. If you translate children using a literal term, choose a word that can refer to people of any age in relation to their fathers. Alternate translation: “God’s spiritual offspring” or “spiritual children of God”
