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.
