Romans 8:23 Context
21Because the creature it selfe also shall bee deliuered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious libertie of the children of God. 22For wee know that the whole creation groaneth, and trauaileth in paine together vntill now. 23And not only they, but our selues also which haue the first fruites of the spirit, euen we our selues groane within our selues, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24For wee are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25But if wee hope for that wee see not, then doe wee with patience waite for it.
