NSB(i)
18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation (revelation) (disclosure) of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subject to corruption, not by it’s own will but by reason of the one who subjected it on the basis of hope.
21 The creation will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and is in pain together until now.
23 We also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption and the release from our bodies by ransom.
24 We are saved by this hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For does a man hope for what he sees?
25 If we hope for what we do not see, do we have patience to wait for it?
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray for, as we should. The Spirit [of God] makes intercession with groaning that cannot be spoken.
27 So he who searches the hearts knows what is the inclination (purpose) (mind-set) of the Spirit [of God], because the Spirit makes intercession for the holy ones according to the will of God.
