Romans 8:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ If we are God’s children, we ·will receive blessings from God together with Christ [^Lare heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ]. ·But we must [^L…if indeed we] ·suffer as Christ suffered [share in his sufferings] so that we ·will have glory as Christ has glory [may share in his glory].

Our Future Glory

¹⁸ [^LFor I consider that] The sufferings we have now are nothing compared to the great glory that will be ·shown [revealed] to us. ¹⁹ ·Everything God made [^LThe creation] is waiting with ·excitement [eager expectation] for ·God to show his children’s glory completely [the revelation of the children/sons of God].
