Romans 8

²¹ that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

²² We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.

²³ Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

²⁴ For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
