Romans 8:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ All of creation waits with eager longing for God to reveal his children. ^20 (A)For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. Yet there was the hope ²¹ that creation itself would one day be set free from its slavery to decay and would share the glorious freedom of the children of God.
