Romans 8:19-23
19 For the creation waits with eager longing for a the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation b was subjected to futility, not willingly, but c because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that d the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that e the whole creation f has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have g the firstfruits of the Spirit h groan inwardly as i we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, j the redemption of our bodies.
