16. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
17. and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
19. For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
