18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time
are
not worthy
to be compared
with the
glory which shall be revealed in us.
19
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God.
20
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but
by reason of him who hath subjected
the same
in hope,
21
Because the creature itself also shall be
delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22
For
we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23
And not only
they,
but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
to wit,
the redemption of our body.
24
For we are saved by hope:
but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25
But if we hope
for that we see not,
then
do we with patience wait for
it.
26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our
infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27
And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what
is
the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to
the will of
God.
28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to
them who are the called according to
his
purpose.
29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate
to be
conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many
brethren.
30
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them
he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31
What shall we then say to these
things? If God
be
for us, who
can be
against us?
32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered
him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33
Who shall lay any
thing to the charge of God’s elect?
It is
God that justifieth.
34
Who
is
he that condemneth?
It is
Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also
maketh intercession for us.
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
shall
tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36
As it is written, For thy sake
we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37
Nay, in all these things
we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38
For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39
Nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which
is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
CHAPTER 9
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2
That
I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3
For I could wish that myself were accursed
from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4
Who are Israelites; to whom
pertaineth
the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service
