For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed toward us.

For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan inside ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.

For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for that which he sees?

But if we hope for that which we don't see, [then] we wait for it with patience.

And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity: for we don't know how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself makes intercession for [us] with groanings which can't be uttered;

and he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

But [it is] not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:

That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.

For this is a word of promise, According to this season I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.
