nsb - Romans:8:18-27

nsb@Romans:8:18 @ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us.

nsb@Romans:8:19 @ For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

nsb@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subject to corruption, not by its own will but by reason of the one who subjected it on the basis of hope.

nsb@Romans:8:21 @ The creation will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

nsb@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole creation groans and is in pain together until now.

nsb@Romans:8:23 @ We also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption and the release from our bodies by ransom.

nsb@Romans:8:24 @ We are saved by this hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For does a man hope for what he sees?

nsb@Romans:8:25 @ If we hope for what we do not see, do we have patience to wait for it?

nsb@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray for, as we should. The Spirit makes intercession with groaning that cannot be spoken.

nsb@Romans:8:27 @ So he who searches the hearts knows what is the inclination of the Spirit, because the Spirit makes intercession for the holy ones according to the will of God.
