¹⁹ For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.

²³ And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children,^[a] including the new bodies he has promised us.

⁸ He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.

⁴ And when Christ, who is your^[a] life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
