Romans 8:15-26

15For you 1have not receivedG2983 a spiritG4151 of slaveryG1397 2leadingG1519 to fearG5401 againG3825, but you 3have receivedG2983 4a spiritG4151 of adoptionG5206 asG5206 sonsG5206 and daughters by whichG3739 we cryG2896 outG2896, “5AbbaG5! 6FatherG3962!” 16The SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 7testifiesG4828 with our spiritG4151 that we are 8childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 17and ifG1487 childrenG5043, 9heirsG2818 alsoG2532, heirsG2818 of GodG2316 and fellowG4789 heirsG4789 with ChristG5547, 10ifG1512 indeedG1512 we sufferG4841 with Him soG2443 thatG2443 we may alsoG2532 be glorifiedG4888 with Him.

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 11are not worthyG514 to be comparedG4314 withG4314 the 12gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 13eagerlyG603 awaitingG603 creationG2937 waitsG553 for 14the revealingG602 of the 15sonsG5207 and daughters of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 16was subjectedG5293 to 17futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 18becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 19in hopeG1680 21that 20the 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 21groansG4959 and suffersG4944 theG4944 painsG4944 ofG4944 childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2322And not onlyG3440 that, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 23the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 24groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 25waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 asG5206 sonsG5206 and daughters, 26the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 27in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 28hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5101 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 29ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for whatG3739 we do not seeG991, throughG1223 perseveranceG5281 we waitG553 eagerlyG553 for it.

26NowG1161 in the sameG5615 wayG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpsG4878 our weaknessG769; for 30we do not knowG3609 whatG5101 to prayG4336 for as we shouldG1163, but 31the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with 32groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 forG215 wordsG215;
