OUR FUTURE GLORY IS: THAT WE WAIT EAGERLY FOR OUR ADOPTION AS SONS, THE REDEMPTION OF OUR BODIES: Rom. 18-39

¹⁸ I Consider That Our Present Sufferings Are Not Worth Comparing With the Glory That Will Be Revealed in Us. ¹⁹ For the Creation Waits in Eager Expectation for the Children of God to Be Revealed. ²⁰ For the Creation Was Subjected to Frustration, Not By its Own Choice, But By the Will of  God Who Subjected it, in Hope ²¹ That^[h] the Creation Itself Will Be Liberated From its Bondage to Decay and Brought Into the Glorious Freedom  of the Children of God.
²² We Know That the Whole Creation Has Been Groaning As in the Pains of Childbirth Right Up to the Present time. ²³ Not Only so, But We Ourselves, Who Have the Firstfruits of the Spirit, Groan Inwardly As We Wait Eagerly for Our Adoption to Sonship , the Redemption of Our Bodies. ²⁴ For In This Hope We Were Saved. But Hope That is Seen is No Hope at All. Who Hopes for What They Already Have? ²⁵ But if We Hope for What We Do Not Yet Have, We wait for it Patiently.
²⁶ In the Same Way, the Spirit Helps Us in Our Weakness. We Do Not Know What We Ought to Pray for, But the Spirit Himself Intercedes for Us With Groans That Words Cannot Express. ²⁷ And God Who Searches Our Hearts Knows the Mind of the Spirit, Because the Spirit Intercedes for God’s People in Accordance With God's Will.
²⁸ And We Know That in All Things God Works for the Good of Those Who Love God, Who^[i] Have Been Called According to God's Purpose. ²⁹ For Those God Foreknew God Also Predestined to Be Conformed to the Image of God's Son, That He Might Be the Firstborn Among Many Brothers and Sisters. ³⁰ And Those God Predestined, God also Called; Those God Called, God Also Justified; Those God Justified, God Also Glorified.

More Than Conquerors

³¹ What, Then, Shall We Say in Response to This? If God is for Us, Who Can Be Against Us? ³² God Who Did Not Spare His Own Son, But Gave Christ Up for Us All—How Will God Not Also, Along With Christ, Graciously Give Us All Things? ³³ Who Will Bring Any Charge Against Those Whom God Has Chosen? It is God Who Justifies. ³⁴ Who is He That Condemns? Christ Jesus, Who Died—More Than That, Who Was Raised to Life—is at the Right Hand of God and is Also Interceding for Us. ³⁵ Who Shall Separate Us From the Love of Christ? Shall Trouble or Hardship or Persecution or Famine or Nakedness or Danger or Sword? ³⁶ As it is Written:

“For Your Sake We Face Death All Day Long;
    We Are Considered As Sheep to Be Slaughtered.”^[j]

³⁷ No, in All These Things We Are More Than Conquerors Through Christ Who Loved Us. ³⁸ For I am Convinced That Neither Death Nor Life, Neither Angels Nor Demons,^[k] Neither the Present Nor the Future, Nor Any Powers, ³⁹ Neither Height Nor Depth, Nor Anything Else in All Creation, Will Be Able to Separate Us From the Love of God That is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
