Romans 8:18-22

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 1are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 2gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us.

19For the 3anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 4the revealingG602 of the 5sonsG5207 of GodG2316.

20For the creationG2937 6was subjectedG5293 to 7futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 8becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 9in hopeG1680

21that 10the 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 11groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959 G4944 untilG891 nowG3568.
