Romans 8:21-32

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.

26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will.

28And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,

29because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

30And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.

31What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?
