all live. [8:14]For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are
sons of God. [8:15]For you received not the spirit of servitude again
to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry;
Abba, Father. [8:16]The Spirit itself is a co-witness with our spirits
that we are children of God. [8:17]And if children, [we are] also
heirs, heirs indeed of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we suffer with
him that we may also be glorified with him.

3 [8:18]For I think that the sufferings of the present time are of no
account in comparison with the glory to be revealed in us. [8:19]For
the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revelation of the
sons of God. [8:20] For the creation was subjected to a perishable
condition, not willingly, but by him that subjected it, in hope
[8:21]that the same creation will be delivered from the servitude of
destruction and [brought] into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
[8:22]For we know that all the creation groans and is in pain till now;
[8:23]and not only it, but we ourselves also who have the first fruit
of the Spirit, even ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, the redemption of our bodies. [8:24]For we are saved by hope;
but a hope that is seen is not a hope; for why does one hope for what
he sees? [8:25]but if we hope for what we see not, we wait for it with
patience.

4 [8:26]And in like manner also the Spirit helps our weakness. For we
know not what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit makes
intercession for us with groanings unutterable; [8:27]and he that
searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because it
makes intercession with God for the saints. [8:28]And we know that all
things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are
called according to [his] purpose. [8:29]For whom he foreknew, he also
predestinated to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he may
be a first-born among many brothers; [8:30]and whom he predestinated
them he also called; and whom he called them he also justified; and
whom he justified them he also glorified.

5 [8:31]What shall we say then to these things? If God is for us, who
is against us? [8:32]He who spared not his Son, but gave him up for us
all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
[8:33]Who will bring a charge against God's elect? It is God that
justifies; [8:34]who is he that condemns? Is it Christ who died, and
still more, w
