Romans 8:19-23

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁹ For the ^(A)anxious longing of the creation eagerly waits for ^(B)the revealing of the ^(C)sons of God. ²⁰ For the creation ^(D)was subjected to ^(E)futility, not willingly, but ^(F)because of Him who subjected it, in hope ^21 [a]that ^(G)the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ²² For we know that the whole creation ^(H)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. ^23 (I)And not only this, but also we ourselves, having ^(J)the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves ^(K)groan within ourselves, ^(L)eagerly waiting for our adoption as sons, ^(M)the redemption of our body.
