New American Standard Bible 1995

Romans 8:19-24

19For the 1anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for 2the revealing of the 3sons of God.

20For the creation 4was subjected to 5futility, not willingly, but 6because of Him who subjected it, 7in hope

21that 8the 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 9groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

23 10And not only this, but also we ourselves, having 11the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 12groan within ourselves, 13waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, 14the redemption of our body.

24For 15in hope we have been saved, but 16hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
