Romans 8:25 - Compare All Versions

Կիսվել

All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it’s not only around us; it’s within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We’re also feeling the birth pangs. These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance. That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don’t see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy.

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

But we are hoping for something we do not have yet, and we are waiting for it patiently.

But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure.

But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
