17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.Select Romans 8:17
18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.Select Romans 8:18
19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.Select Romans 8:19
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,Select Romans 8:20
21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.Select Romans 8:21
22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.Select Romans 8:22
23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.Select Romans 8:23
24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?Select Romans 8:24
25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.Select Romans 8:25
