20for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] -- in hope,
21that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.
23And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body;
24for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?
25and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,
