Romans 8:18-21

Living Bible

¹⁸ Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. ¹⁹ For all creation is waiting patiently and hopefully for that future day^[a] when God will resurrect his children. ^20-21 For on that day thorns and thistles, sin, death, and decay^[b]—the things that overcame the world against its will at God’s command—will all disappear, and the world around us will share in the glorious freedom from sin which God’s children enjoy.
