8:20 - [In Context ]Against its will, everything on earth was subjected to God's curse.
8:21 - [In Context ]All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
8:22 - [In Context ]For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
8:23 - [In Context ]And even we Christians, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as his children, F34 including the new bodies he has promised us.
8:24 - [In Context ]Now that we are saved, we eagerly look forward to this freedom. For if you already have something, you don't need to hope for it.
