For we know that all creatures groan and travail until this day;

and not only they, but we also who have in us the first-fruit of the Spirit, groan within ourselves, and wait for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

For in hope we live: but hope that is seen is not hope; for if we see it, why hope we for it ?
