Romans 8:14-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ For all who are ^(A)being led by the Spirit of God, these are ^(B)sons of God. ¹⁵ For you ^(C)have not received a spirit of slavery ^[a]leading to fear again, but you ^(D)have received ^[b]a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “^(E)Abba! Father!” ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself ^(F)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(G)children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, ^(H)heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(I)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^(J)are not worthy to be compared with the ^(K)glory that is to be revealed to us. ¹⁹ For the ^(L)anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for ^(M)the revealing of the ^(N)sons of God. ²⁰ For the creation ^(O)was subjected to ^(P)futility, not willingly, but ^(Q)because of Him who subjected it, ^[c]in hope ²¹ that ^(R)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 ^(S)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
