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, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
24 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?
