Romans 8:18, Romans 8:11, Romans 8:23-25

Present Suffering and Future Glory

¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^aare not worthy to be compared with the ^bglory that is to be revealed to us.

¹¹But if the Spirit of Him who ^araised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^bHe who raised ^cChrist Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ¹through His Spirit who dwells in you.

²³^aAnd not only this, but also we ourselves, having ^bthe first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves ^cgroan within ourselves, ^deagerly waiting for our adoption as sons, ^ethe redemption of our body. ²⁴For ^ain hope we were saved, but ^bhope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he already sees? ²⁵But ^aif we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we eagerly wait for it.
