Romans 8:18-25
Future Glory
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time aare not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for athe revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation awas subjected to futility, not willingly, but bbecause of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that athe creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that athe whole creation bhas been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have athe firstfruits of the Spirit, bgroan inwardly as cwe wait eagerly for adoption as sons, dthe redemption of our bodies. 24 For ain this hope we were saved. Now bhope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we await for it with patience.
