Seeker Overlay ON

* For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us . * For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God . * For the creation was subjected to futility , not willingly , but because of Him who subjected it in hope ; * because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God . * For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now . * Not only that , but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit , even we ourselves groan within ourselves , eagerly waiting for the adoption , the redemption of our body . * For we were saved in this hope , but hope that is seen is not hope ; for why does one still hope for what he sees ? * But if we hope for what we do not see , we eagerly wait for it with perseverance . * Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses . For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought , but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered . * Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is , because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God .
