Romans 8:16-26

16The SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 1testifiesG4828 with our spiritG4151 that we are 2childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 17and ifG1487 childrenG5043, 3heirsG2818 alsoG2532, heirsG2818 of GodG2316 and fellowG4789 heirsG4789 with ChristG5547, 4ifG1512 indeedG1512 we sufferG4841 with Him soG2443 that we may alsoG2532 be glorifiedG4888 with Him.

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 5are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 6gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 7anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 8the revealingG602 of the 9sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 10was subjectedG5293 to 11futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 12becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 13in hopeG1680 21that 14the 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 15groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2316And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 17the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 18groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 19waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 20the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 21in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 22hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 23ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for whatG3739 we do not seeG991, with perseveranceG5281 we waitG553 eagerlyG553 for it.

26In the sameG5615 wayG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpsG4878 our weaknessG769; for 24we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 25the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215;
