For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
