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.
