15For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
17and 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].
18For 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.
19For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
20For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
21that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
