Romans 8:15-24 (New Revised Standard)
15
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! a Father!"
16
it is that very Spirit bearing witness b with our spirit that we are children of God,
17
and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
18
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.
19
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God;
20
for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
21
that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22
We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now;
23
and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
24
For in c hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes d for what is seen?
