Romans 8:18-30

18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time 1are not worthy to be compared with the 2glory that is to be revealed to us. 19For the 3eagerly awaiting creation waits for 4the revealing of the 5sons and daughters of God. 20For the creation 6was subjected to 7futility, not willingly, but 8because of Him who subjected it, 9in hope 21that 10the 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 11groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 2312And not only that, but also we ourselves, having 13the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 14groan within ourselves, 15waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughters, 16the redemption of our body. 24For 17in hope we have been saved, but 18hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25But 19if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

26Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for 20we do not know what to pray for as we should, but 21the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with 22groanings too deep for words; 27and 23He who searches the hearts knows what 24the mind of the Spirit is, because He 25intercedes for the 26saints according to the will of God.

28And we know that 27God 28causes 29all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are 30called according to His purpose. 29For those whom He 31foreknew, He also 32predestined to become 33conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the 34firstborn among many brothers and sisters; 30and these whom He 35predestined, He also 36called; and these whom He called, He also 37justified; and these whom He justified, He also 38glorified.
