Romans 8:17-28

Romans 8:17-28 TOJB2011

And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him. For I reckon that the yisurim (suffering) of zman hazeh (of this present time) are not to be compared with the coming kavod (glory) to be revealed in us. For the eager expectation of HaBri'ah (the Creation) awaits the heavenly hisgalus (revelation, unveiling) of the bnei HaElohim. For HaBri'ah (the Creation) was subjected to hevel (futility), not willingly, but on account of Him who subjected it, in tikvah (hope), Because HaBri'ah also itself will be set free from the avdut (slavery) of corruption into the deror (freedom) of the kavod (glory) of the bnei HaElohim. For we have da'as that the whole Bri'ah groans and suffers the chevlei leydah (pangs of childbirth) until now. And not only so, but also we ourselves who have the bikkurim (first fruits) of the Ruach Hakodesh also groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting the Mishpat HaBanim Adoption, that is, the pedut geviyyateinu for the Techiyah from HaMesim. For in tikvah (hope) we were delivered in eschatological salvation. But tikvah (hope) which is seen is not tikvah, for who hopes for what he sees? But if we have tikvah for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with savlanut. In the same way, the Ruach Hakodesh helps us in our weakness. For as we daven, we do not know as we should for what to make tefillos (prayers), but the Ruach HaKodesh Himself intercedes on our behalf with labor pang groans not intelligibly uttered. And He who searches the levavot knows what is the way of thinking of the Ruach Hakodesh, because He intercedes as G-d would have it on behalf of the Kedoshim. And we have da'as that for those who love HASHEM everything co-operates toward HaTov for those who are HaKeru'im (the summoned, called ones) according to the etzah (wisdom) of the tochnit HASHEM (G-dʼs purposeful and willed plan or goal).
