For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with that future glory which shall be revealed in us. |
| 8:19 |
For the anticipation of the creature anticipates the revelation of the sons of God. |
| 8:20 |
For the creature was made subject to emptiness, not willingly, but for the sake of the One who made it subject, unto hope. |
| 8:21 |
For the creature itself shall also be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God. |
| 8:22 |
For we know that every creature groans inwardly, as if giving birth, even until now; |
| 8:23 |
and not only these, but also ourselves, since we hold the first-fruits of the Spirit. For we also groan within ourselves, anticipating our adoption as the sons of God, and the redemption of our body. |
| 8:24 |
For we have been saved by hope. But a hope which is seen is not hope. For when a man sees something, why would he hope? |
| 8:25 |
But since we hope for what we do not see, we wait with patience. |
