    23And 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.

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

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

    26And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

    27And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.

    28And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

    29Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

    18I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.

    19For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

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

    21That 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.
