20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

20 Everything God made was changed to become useless, not by its own wish but because God wanted it and because all along there was this hope:

20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

20 for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected the same, in hope

20 Creation was subjected to frustration but not by its own choice. The one who subjected it to frustration did so in the hope

20 For the creation was subjected to futility —not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it —in the hope

20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

20 For the creation has been subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it, in hope

20 The created world was bound to fail. But that was not the result of its own choice. It was planned that way by the One who made it. God planned

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
