Romans 8:21-23

AUV(i) 21 that the created world itself would be freed from its slavery to corrupting influences [i.e., produced by the fall] and receive the glorious freedom which belongs to God’s children. 22 For we know that the entire created world moans in painful anguish [i.e., as a woman in childbirth] until this present moment. 23 And not just the world, but even we [Christians] ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Holy Spirit [i.e., the first installment of our inheritance from God] also groan within us, eagerly waiting to be adopted as [God’s] children, and receive back our bodies [i.e., in the resurrection].
