Romans 8:

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.
i.e., the Paraclete

Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
If you do not have the Paraclete, you do not belong to Christ.

By contrapositive, we have:
If you belong to Christ, you have the Paraclete.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons,
i.e., the Paraclete

by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
The Paraclete is connected to my human spirit.

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
If you have the Paraclete, you are a son of God. I can sense him in my spirit at all times.
