Romans 8:20-24

Romans 8:20-24 CSB

For the creation was subjected  to futility   #— #not willingly, but because of him who subjected it   #— #in the hope that the creation itself  will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains  until now. Not only that,  but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits   #— #we also groan within ourselves,  eagerly waiting for adoption,  the redemption of our bodies.  Now in this hope  we were saved, but hope  that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?
