Geneva Study Bible

{21} For the earnest expectation of the {u} creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

(21) Fourthly, he plainly teaches us that we will certainly be renewed from that confusion and horrible deformation of the whole world, which cannot be continual, as it was not this way at the beginning: but as it had a beginning by the sin of man, for whom it was made by the ordinance of God, so will it at length be restored with the elect.

(u) All this world.


People's New Testament

8:19 The earnest expectation of the creature. Creature is rendered creation in the Revised Version, and this rendering is approved by all the best critics. Chrysostom says,

Paul personifies the world, just as the prophets do when they make the floods to clap their hands.''

The whole world is represented earnestly looking forward to

the manifestation of the sons of God, to that day of future glory when the sons of God will have reached their high estate and be revealed as his children. It is a fine, poetic figure, a grand conception.
