Romans 8:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Because the creature also shall be delivered from the [a]bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
22 For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and [b]travaileth in pain together unto this present.
23 [c]And not only the creature, but we also which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we do sigh in [d]ourselves, waiting for the adoption, even [e](A)the redemption of our body.

King James Version
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, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
21 被造之物自己也盼望着从使之衰朽[a]的奴役中得到释放，归入神儿女荣耀的自由。 22 我们知道，所有被造之物都一同呻吟、同受阵痛，直到如今。 23 不仅如此，连我们这些有圣灵为初熟果子的人，也在自己里面呻吟叹息，热切等待得到儿子的名份[b]，就是等待我们的身体得蒙救赎。
