Romans 8:18-24

18 I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.

19 The whole world is waiting for the time when the sons of God will be seen.

20 The world was spoiled. It did not want to be spoiled, but God allowed it.

21 And it hoped to be free like God's children when they are made great.

22 We know that the whole world has been crying. It has had much pain until now.

23 And not the world only, but we ourselves also cry out. We have the first blessing God gives of his Spirit. But we cry out in our hearts. We are waiting for God to finish making us his sons. Then our bodies will be set free.

24 That is what we hoped for when we were saved. When the thing hoped for is seen, there is no more hoping. When a person sees a thing, how can he hope for it?
