Romans:8:18-27
updv@Romans:8:18 @ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
updv@Romans:8:19 @ For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
updv@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
updv@Romans:8:21 @ that the creation itself also will be delivered from the slavery of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
updv@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
updv@Romans:8:23 @ And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan inside ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
updv@Romans:8:24 @ For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for that which he sees?
updv@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for that which we don't see, [then] we wait for it with patience.
updv@Romans:8:26 @ And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity: for we don't know how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself makes intercession for [us] with groanings which can't be uttered;
updv@Romans:8:27 @ and he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
