20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers with labor pains together until now. 23 And not only this, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. Romans 8:20-23, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
