For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons
of God. For ye have not received the
Spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry ABBA, Father, the Spirit itself
beareth witness with our own spirit, that we are the children
of God, And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint
heirs with Christ. If so be that we suffer with
him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in
US. For the earnest expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of
God. For the creature was made
subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him
who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature
itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth
in pain together until now, and not only they, but ourselves
also, which have the first fruits of the spirit.
Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit the redemption of our body.
For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not
hope. For what a man seeth, why doth
he yet hope for? But if we hope for, that we see
not, then do we with patience wait for it?
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience
wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth
our infirmities. For we know not what we should
pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered. 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.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that
love God to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 814 to 18 King James Version.
