Romans 8:16–30

¹⁶For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God.

¹⁷And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

¹⁸For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us.

¹⁹For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.

²⁰For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope.

²¹Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

²²For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.

²³And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.

²⁴For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?

²⁵But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.

²⁶Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For, we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings,

²⁷And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what the Spirit desireth: because he asketh for the saints according to God.

²⁸And we know that to them that love God all things work together unto good: to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

²⁹For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son: that he might be the Firstborn amongst many brethren.

³⁰And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
