Romans 8:23

---

← Romans 8:22	Romans 8:23 (KJV)	Romans 8:24 →
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.	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.	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?
