Romans 8:17-23
8:17 And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ)
– if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.
8:18 For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the glory that will be revealed to us.
8:19 For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God.
8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of God who subjected it – in hope
8:21 that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children.
8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.
8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
