Romans 8:18-28

Future Glory

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^aare not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for ^bthe revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation ^cwas subjected to futility, not willingly, but ^dbecause of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that ^ethe creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that ^fthe whole creation ^ghas been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have ^hthe firstfruits of the Spirit, ⁱgroan inwardly as ^jwe wait eagerly for adoption as sons, ^kthe redemption of our bodies. 24 For ^lin this hope we were saved. Now ^mhope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we ⁿwait for it with patience.

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For ^owe do not know what to pray for as we ought, but ^pthe Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And ^qhe who searches hearts knows what is ^rthe mind of the Spirit, because ^{▼▼Or that} the Spirit ^tintercedes for the saints ^uaccording to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together ^vfor good, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts God works all things together for good, or God works in all things for the good} for ^xthose who are called according to his purpose.
