Romans 8:17-22

17and if children, also heirs  — heirs of God and coheirs with Christ — if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.

19For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God’s sons to be revealed.

20For the creation was subjected to futility  — not willingly, but because of him who subjected it  — in the hope

21that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children.

22For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now.
