Romans 8:21-23

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ that even creation itself will be set free from slavery to corruption, in order to share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.

²² For we know that all of creation is groaning with birth pains right up to the present time. ²³ And not only creation, but also we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,^[a] groan inwardly while we eagerly await our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
