    20For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it—in hope

    21that the creation itself will also be liberated from the bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of God's children.

    22For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now.

    23And not only that, but we ourselves who have the firstfruits of the Spirit—we also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

    24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already see?
