isv Romans:8:18-27
isv@Romans:8:18 @ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.
isv@Romans:8:19 @ For the creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal his children,
isv@Romans:8:20 @ because the creation was subjected to frustration, though not by its own choice. The one who subjected it did so in the hope
isv@Romans:8:21 @ that the creation itself would also be set free from slavery to decay in order to share the glorious freedom of God's children.
isv@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that all creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
isv@Romans:8:23 @ However, not only creation groans, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
isv@Romans:8:24 @ For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now hope that is seen is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?
isv@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.
isv@Romans:8:26 @ In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes with groans too deep for words,
isv@Romans:8:27 @ and the one who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to God's will.
