Romans 8:19-27

19For the 1anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 2the revealingG602 of the 3sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 4was subjectedG5293 to 5futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 6becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 7in hopeG1680 21that 8the 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 9groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959 G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 23 10And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 11the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 12groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 13waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 14the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 15in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 16hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 17ifG1487 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 18we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 19the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215; 27and 20He who searchesG2045 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 21the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 22intercedesG1793 for the 23saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.
