Romans 8:20-24
8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of God who subjected it – in hope
8:21 that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children.
8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.
8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
8:24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?
