Romans 8:17
Compare all
15 For ayou did not receive the spirit of bondage again bto fear, but you received the cSpirit of adoption by whom we cry out, d“Abba, Father.”  
16 aThe Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,  
17 and if children, then aheirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, bif indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.  

From Suffering to Glory

18 For I consider that athe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  
19 For athe earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.  
20 For athe creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;  
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of1 corruption into the glorious aliberty of the children of God.  
22 For we know that the whole creation agroans and labors with birth pangs together until now.  
23 Not only that, but we also who have athe firstfruits of the Spirit, beven we ourselves groan cwithin ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the dredemption of our body.  
24 For we were saved in this hope, but ahope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?  
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For awe do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but bthe Spirit Himself makes intercession1 for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  
27 Now aHe who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints baccording to the will of God.  
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those awho are the called according to His purpose.  
29 For whom aHe foreknew, bHe also predestined cto be conformed to the image of His Son, dthat He might be the firstborn among many brethren.  
30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also acalled; whom He called, these He also bjustified; and whom He justified, these He also cglorified.
