Romans 8:18-21

18For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!

19For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed.

20For the creation was subjected to frustration and futility, not willingly [because of some intentional fault on its part], but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope

21that the creation itself will also be freed from its bondage to decay [and gain entrance] into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
