18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with
the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager
expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation
was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will
of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will
be liberated 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 as in the pains
of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, 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 already has? 25 But if we hope for
what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not
know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for
us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our
hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for
the saints in accordance with God's will.
