Romans 8:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 8:18

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.
