Romans 8:20-22

Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ For the creation was subjected^(A) to futility^(B)—not willingly, but because of him who subjected it^(C)—in the hope ²¹ that the creation itself^(D) will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children. ²² For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains^(E) until now.
