Romans 8:21-32

21that 1the 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 2groansG4959 and suffersG4944 theG4944 painsG4944 ofG4944 childbirthG4944 togetherG4959 G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 23 3And not onlyG3440 that, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 4the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 5groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 6waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 asG5206 sonsG5206 and daughters, 7the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 8in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 9hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5101 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 10ifG1487 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 11we do not knowG3609 whatG5101 to prayG4336 for as we shouldG1163, but 12the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with 13groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 forG215 wordsG215; 27and 14He who searchesG2038 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 15the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 16intercedesG1793 for the 17saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 18GodG2316 19causesG4903 20allG3956 thingsG3956 toG4903 workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 21calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286. 29For thoseG3739 whomG3739 He 22foreknewG4267, He alsoG2532 23predestinedG4309 to become 24conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of His SonG5207, soG1519 thatG1519 He would be the 25firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brothersG80 and sisters; 30and theseG3778 whomG3739 He 26predestinedG4309, He alsoG2532 27calledG2564; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He calledG2564, He alsoG2532 28justifiedG1344; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He justifiedG1344, He alsoG2532 29glorifiedG1392.

31 30WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 to theseG3778 thingsG3778? 31IfG1487 GodG2316 is for us, whoG5101 is againstG2596 us? 32He whoG3739 32did not spareG5339 His ownG2398 SonG5207, but 33deliveredG3860 Him overG3860 for us allG3956, howG4459 will He not alsoG2532 with Him freelyG5483 giveG5483 us allG3956 thingsG3956?
