Romans 8:15-27

[15] For  not  received  the spirit  of bondage  again  to  fear;  but  ye have received  the Spirit  of adoption,  whereby  we cry,  Abba,  Father.  [16] The Spirit  itself  beareth witness  spirit,  that  the children  of God:  [17] And  if  children,  then  heirs;  of God,  and  joint-heirs  with Christ;  if so be  that we suffer with  him, that  also  glorified together.  [18] For  I reckon  that  the sufferings  of this present  time  are not  worthy  to be compared with  the glory  which shall  be revealed  in  [19] For  the earnest expectation  of the creature  waiteth  for the manifestation  of the sons  of God.  [20] For  the creature  was made subject  to vanity,  not  willingly,  but  by reason  of him who hath subjected  the same in  hope,  [21] Because  the creature  itself  also  shall be delivered  from  the bondage  of corruption  into  the glorious  liberty  of the children  of God.  [22] For  we know  that  the whole  creation  groaneth  and  travaileth in pain together  until  now.  [23] And  not  only  they, but  ourselves  also,  which have  the firstfruits  of the Spirit,  even  ourselves  groan  within  ourselves,  waiting  for the adoption,  to wit, the redemption  body.  [24] For  we are saved  by hope:  but  hope  that is seen  not  hope:  for  what  seeth,  why  hope for?  [25] But  if  we hope  for that  we see  not,  with  patience  wait for  [26] Likewise  the Spirit  also  helpeth  infirmities:  for  we know  not  what  we should pray for  as  we ought:  but  the Spirit  itself  maketh intercession  with groanings  which cannot be uttered.  [27] And  he that searcheth  the hearts  knoweth  what  is the mind  of the Spirit,  because  he maketh intercession  for  the saints  according  to the will of God.
