⁴² Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, ^(A)your will be done.”

Future Glory

¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^(A)are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

²¹ that ^(A)the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ²² For we know that ^(B)the whole creation ^(C)has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. ²³ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have ^(D)the firstfruits of the Spirit, ^(E)groan inwardly as ^(F)we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, ^(G)the redemption of our bodies.

²⁸ And we know that for those who love God all things work together ^(A)for good,^[a] for ^(B)those who are called according to his purpose.

^26 (A)Was it not necessary that ^(B)the Christ should suffer these things and enter into ^(C)his glory?”
