Romans 8:19-23

19For the 1eagerly awaiting creation waits for 2the revealing of the 3sons and daughters of God.

20For the creation 4was subjected to 5futility, not willingly, but 6because of Him who subjected it, 7in hope

21that 8the 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 9groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

23 10And not only that, but also we ourselves, having 11the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 12groan within ourselves, 13waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughters, 14the redemption of our body.
