Romans 8:18-21

8:18 For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared ¹  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 ²  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.

[8:18]  ¹ tn Grk “are not worthy [to be compared].”

[8:20]  ² tn Grk “because of the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
