Romans 8:18-25

Romans 8:18-25 TOJB2011

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.
