Romans 8:18-24 (English Standard Version)

Future Glory

 ¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time^(A) are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. ¹⁹For the creation waits with eager longing for^(B) the revealing of the sons of God. ²⁰For the creation^(C) was subjected to futility, not willingly, but^(D) because of him who subjected it, in hope ²¹that^(E) the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ²²For we know that^(F) the whole creation^(G) has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. ²³And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have^(H) the firstfruits of the Spirit,^(I) groan inwardly as^(J) we wait eagerly for adoption as sons,^(K) the redemption of our bodies. ²⁴For^(L) in this hope we were saved. Now^(M) hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
