Romans 8:14-22

14For allG3745 whoG3745 are 1being ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theseG3778 are 2sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 15For you 3have not receivedG2983 a spiritG4151 of slaveryG1397 4leadingG1519 to fearG5401 againG3825, but you 5have receivedG2983 6a spiritG4151 of adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206 by whichG3739 we cryG2896 out, “7AbbaG5! FatherG3962!” 16The SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 8testifiesG4828 with our spiritG4151 that we are 9childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 17and ifG1487 childrenG5043, 10heirsG2818 alsoG2532, heirsG2818 of GodG2316 and fellowG4789 heirsG4789 with ChristG5547, 11ifG1512 indeedG1512 we sufferG4841 with Him soG2443 that we may alsoG2532 be glorifiedG4888 with Him.

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 12are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 13gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 14anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 15the revealingG602 of the 16sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 17was subjectedG5293 to 18futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 19becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 20in hopeG1680 21that 21the creationG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 will be setG1659 freeG1659 from its slaveryG1397 to corruptionG5356 into the freedomG1657 of the gloryG1391 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316. 22For we knowG3609 that the wholeG3956 creationG2937 22groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568.
