Romans 8:18-27
Future Glory
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
18:
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
19:
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,
20:
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
21:
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
22:
23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
23:
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
24:
25 But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].
25:
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
26:
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
27:
