    20 For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope

    21 That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.

    22 For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now.

    23 And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

    24 For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?

    25 But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.
