Even creation itself is waiting

Rom 8:18–30

8:18 Even creation itself is waiting

18 I’m sure that any sufferings we experience in this age are nothing in comparison with the coming splendour that’s going to be revealed to us, 19 because all of creation is eagerly expecting and waiting for God’s children to be revealed. 20 Yes, all of creation has been subjected to lack of purpose, not willingly, but because it was decided by the one who subjected it, but it remains with the hope[ref] 21 that it too will be freed from the slavery of corruption, and then released into the freedom of the splendour of God’s children, 22 because we’re aware that all of creation is groaning and suffering[fn] along with us right through to the present time. 23 And not only that, but we ourselves who have the initial tastes of the spirit life, we’re also groaning and waiting like children for our bodies to be set free from slavery,[ref] 24 because we were saved, having hope, but if you can see it then it’s not hope, because you don’t need to hope for something you can already see. 25 So we hope for what we can’t yet see, and so we have to patiently keep waiting.

26 Similarly, the spirit also helps us with our weaknesses, because we don’t even know what to pray for, but the spirit intercedes with groanings that we can’t put into words. 27 The one who searches our hearts knows the mindset of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the believers as God desires.

28 We know that God makes all things work together for good for everyone who loves him—those who are being invited according to his purpose. 29 After all, those he knew in advance, he also determined in advance to be similar to his son’s image, so that his son would become the eldest of many siblings. 30 The ones he’d determined in advance he also invited, and the ones he’d invited, he also declared guiltless, and the ones he declared guiltless, he also honoured in heaven.

18 For/Because I_am_counting that not worthy are the sufferings of_the present time, with the going glory to_be_revealed to us.
19 For/Because the eager_expectation of_the creation, the revelation of_the sons of_ the _god is_eagerly_waiting.
20 For/Because to_the uselessness, the creation was_subjected, not willingly, but because_of the one having_subjected it, in hope
21 that also itself the creation will_be_being_freed from the slavery of_ the _corruption, into the freedom of_the glory of_the children of_ the _god.
22 For/Because we_have_known that all the creation is_groaning_together and is_travailing_together until the time now.
23 Not and only that, but also ourselves, the first-fruit of_the spirit having, we also ourselves in ourselves are_groaning, adoption_as_sons eagerly_waiting, the redemption of_the body of_us.
24 For/Because in_the hope we_were_saved, but hope being_seen, not is hope, because/for what is_seeing anyone, he_is_hoping?
25 But if what not we_are_seeing we_are_hoping, through endurance we_are_eagerly_waiting.
26 And likewise also the spirit is_helping with_the weakness of_us, because/for the who we_may_pray as it_is_fitting, not we_have_known, but itself the spirit is_interceding with_groanings inexpressible.
27 And the one searching our hearts has_known what is the mindset of_the spirit, because according_to god, it_is_pleading for the_holy ones.
28 And we_have_known that to_the ones loving the god, all things is_working_together the god for good, to_the ones according_to his_purpose called being.
29 Because whom he_foreknew, also he_predetermined similar to_the image of_the son of_him, in_order that to_be him firstborn among many brothers.
30 And whom he_predetermined, these also he_called, and whom he_called, these also he_justified, and whom he_justified, these also he_glorified.

8:22 The word picture here is one of childbirth.

Gen 3:17-19:

17 Then God said to the man,

“Because you did what your wife told you

and ate from that tree

that I’d told you not to eat from,

then the ground will be cursed because of you.[ref]

You’ll have to work hard to get food from it

all the rest of your life.

18 It’ll produce thorns and thistles for you

although you’ll eat the crops from the countryside.

19 You’ll eat bread with sweat drops on your nose

until you return to the ground

because you were taken out of the ground.

Yes, you were created from dust,

and you’ll return back to dust.”

2Cor 5:2-4:

2 Actually, that’s also why we groan—wanting to be clothed in our heavenly bodies. 3 Yes, once we’re properly dressed we won’t feel naked 4 because while we live in these temporary homes we are groaning. It’s not that we want to dispose of these temporary homes, but we want to be permanently clothed so that our mortal parts might be enveloped by life.
