Romans 8:19-22

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation^(A) for God’s sons^(B) to be revealed. ²⁰ For the creation was subjected^(C) to futility^(D)—not willingly, but because of him who subjected it^(E)—in the hope ²¹ that the creation itself^(F) will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children. ²² For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains^(G) until now.
