Romans 8:18-30

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.

22For we know that the whole creation groans together and suffers birth pains until now—

23and not only creation, but even ourselves. We ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Ruach, groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for adoption—the redemption of our body.

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

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

26In the same way, the Ruach helps in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Ruach Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.

27And He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Ruach, because He intercedes for the kedoshim according to the will of God.

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

29For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

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