Romans 8:21-32

21that 1the 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 2groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 3And not only this, but also we ourselves, having 4the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 5groan within ourselves, 6waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, 7the redemption of our body. 24For 8in hope we have been saved, but 9hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25But 10if 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 11we do not know how to pray as we should, but 12the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27and 13He who searches the hearts knows what 14the mind of the Spirit is, because He 15intercedes for the 16saints according to the will of God.

28And we know that 17God causes 18all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are 19called according to His purpose. 29For those whom He 20foreknew, He also 21predestined to become 22conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the 23firstborn among many brethren; 30and these whom He 24predestined, He also 25called; and these whom He called, He also 26justified; and these whom He justified, He also 27glorified.

31 28What then shall we say to these things? 29If God is for us, who is against us? 32He who 30did not spare His own Son, but 31delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
