Romans 8:21-32

21that 1the 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 2groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 3And not only that, but also we ourselves, having 4the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 5groan within ourselves, 6waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughters, 7the redemption of our body. 24For 8in hope we have been saved, but 9hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25But 10if 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 11we do not know what to pray for as we should, but 12the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with 13groanings too deep for words; 27and 14He who searches the hearts knows what 15the mind of the Spirit is, because He 16intercedes for the 17saints according to the will of God.

28And we know that 18God 19causes 20all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are 21called according to His purpose. 29For those whom He 22foreknew, He also 23predestined to become 24conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the 25firstborn among many brothers and sisters; 30and these whom He 26predestined, He also 27called; and these whom He called, He also 28justified; and these whom He justified, He also 29glorified.

31 30What then shall we say to these things? 31If God is for us, who is against us? 32He who 32did not spare His own Son, but 33delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
