Romans 8:18-23

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 1are not worthyG514 to be comparedG4314 withG4314 the 2gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us.

19For the 3eagerlyG603 awaitingG603 creationG2937 waitsG553 for 4the revealingG602 of the 5sonsG5207 and daughters of GodG2316.

20For the creationG2937 6was subjectedG5293 to 7futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 8becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 9in hopeG1680

21that 10the 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 11groansG4959 and suffersG4944 theG4944 painsG4944 ofG4944 childbirthG4944 togetherG4959 G4944 untilG891 nowG3568.

23 12And not onlyG3440 that, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 13the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 14groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 15waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 asG5206 sonsG5206 and daughters, 16the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983.
