I'm reading from Romans 8 verses 18 through 28.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will

be revealed in us.

For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of

the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its

bondage to decay and bought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right

up to the present time.

Not only so, but we ourselves who have the first fruit of the spirit grown inwardly as

we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

For in this hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is no hope at all, who hopes for

what they already have.

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

In the same way, the spirit helps us in our weakness.

We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the spirit himself intercedes for us through

wordless groans.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes

for God's people in accordance with the will of God.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been

called according to His purpose.

This is the word of the Lord.
