Romans 8:19-25

19For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of 1God:

20for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope

21that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of 2God.

22For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.

23And not only [that], but even we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.

24For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?

25But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.
