22. For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
23. And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
24. For in this expectation we were saved, but expectation that is seen is not expectation, for when anyone sees, does he expect it?
25. And if we expect what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.
