Romans 8:14-22

« Romans 7Romans 8Romans 9 »

14 For as many as are ^abeing led by the Spirit of God, these are ^bsons of God. 15 For you ^ahave not received a spirit of slavery ¹leading to fear again, but you ^bhave received the Spirit of adoption as sons by whom we cry out, “^cAbba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself ^atestifies with our spirit that we are ^bchildren of God, 17 and if children, also ^aheirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^bif indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Present Suffering and Future Glory

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^aare not worthy to be compared with the ^bglory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the ^aanxious longing of the creation eagerly waits for ^bthe revealing of the ^csons of God. 20 For the creation ^awas subjected to ^bfutility, not willingly, but ^cbecause of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 ¹that ^athe creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation ^agroans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
