Romans 8:22-24

Names of God Bible

²² We know that all creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.

²³ However, not only creation groans. We, who have the Spirit as the first of God’s gifts, also groan inwardly. We groan as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the freeing of our bodies from sin. ²⁴ We were saved with this hope in mind. If we hope for something we already see, it’s not really hope. Who hopes for what can be seen?
