Romans 8:15-21

15For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall again into fear; rather, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

16The Ruach Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

17And if children, also heirs—heirs of God and joint-heirs with Messiah—if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18For I consider the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed to us.

19For the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God.

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

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