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

    24For we are saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

    25But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

    26Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

    27Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

    28And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

    29For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

    19For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

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

    21Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
