¹⁷And to Adam he said,

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
    and have eaten of the tree
^(A)of which I commanded you,
    ‘You shall not eat of it,’
^(B)cursed is the ground because of you;
    ^(C)in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
¹⁸thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
    and you shall eat the plants of the field.

Romans 8:19-23

English Standard Version

¹⁹For the creation waits with eager longing for ^(A)the revealing of the sons of God. ²⁰For the creation ^(B)was subjected to futility, not willingly, but ^(C)because of him who subjected it, in hope ²¹that ^(D)the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ²²For we know that ^(E)the whole creation ^(F)has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. ²³And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have ^(G)the firstfruits of the Spirit, ^(H)groan inwardly as ^(I)we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, ^(J)the redemption of our bodies.
