Romans 8:22–30

22 For we know that the whole creation agroans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

23 aAnd not only this, but also we ourselves, having bthe first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves cgroan within ourselves, dwaiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, ethe redemption of our body.

24 For ain hope we have been saved, but bhope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

25 But aif we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Our Victory in Christ

26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for awe do not know how to pray as we should, but bthe Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

27 and aHe who searches the hearts knows what bthe mind of the Spirit is, because He cintercedes for the 1saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that 1God causes aall things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are bcalled according to His purpose.

29 For those whom He aforeknew, He also bpredestined to become cconformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the dfirstborn among many brethren;

30 and these whom He apredestined, He also bcalled; and these whom He called, He also cjustified; and these whom He justified, He also dglorified.
