16gThe Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are hthe children of God: 17And if children, then iheirs; iheirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; kif so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18For I lreckon that mthe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with nthe glory which shall be revealed in us. 19For the oearnest expectation of the creature pwaiteth for ppthe manifestation of the sons of God. 20For qthe creature was made subject to rvanity, not willingly, but sby reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21Because the creature itself also shall be tdelivered from the bondage of ucorruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22For we know that ||the vwhole creation wgroaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23And xnot only they, but ourselves also, gwhich have ythe firstfruits of the Spirit, zeven we ourselves groan within ourselves, awaiting for bthe adoption, to wit, the credemption of our body. 24For we are saved by hope: but dhope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience await for it. 26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for ewe know not what we should pray for as we ought: but fthe Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27And ghe that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is hthe mind of the Spirit, ||because ihe maketh intercession for the saints jaccording to the will of God. 28And we know that kall things work together lfor good to them that love God, to them mwho are the called according to his npurpose. 29For whom he did oforeknow, he also did ppredestinate to be qconformed to rthe image of his Son, that he might be sthe firstborn among many tbrethren. 30Moreover whom he did ppredestinate, them he also ucalled: and whom he called, them he also xjustified: and whom he justified, them he also yglorified.
