“that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;”— Romans 8:21 (LSV)
18For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19for the earnest looking out of the creation expects the revelation of the sons of God;
20for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him who subjected [it]—in hope,
21that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22for we have known that all the creation groans together, and travails in pain together until now.
23And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting adoption—the redemption of our body;
24for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what anyone beholds, why does he also hope for [it]?
