Romans 8:19-25

19For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God.

20For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of God who subjected it – in hope

21that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children.

22For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.

23Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

24For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

25But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.
