Romans 8:19-24

19For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

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

21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

22For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.

23And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

24For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
