Romans 8:17-28

17and if children, 1heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, 2if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time 3are not worthy to be compared with the 4glory that is to be revealed to us. 19For the 5anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for 6the revealing of the 7sons of God. 20For the creation 8was subjected to 9futility, not willingly, but 10because of Him who subjected it, 11in hope 21that 12the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation 13groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 14And not only this, but also we ourselves, having 15the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 16groan within ourselves, 17waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, 18the redemption of our body. 24For 19in hope we have been saved, but 20hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25But 21if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

26In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for 22we do not know how to pray as we should, but 23the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27and 24He who searches the hearts knows what 25the mind of the Spirit is, because He 26intercedes for the 27saints according to the will of God.

28And we know that 28God causes 29all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are 30called according to His purpose.
