Romans 8:14-21 - The Yeast Of The Pharisees And Herod
14 For all who are guided by God's Spirit are God's sons. 15 For you do not have a sense of servitude to fill you with dread again, but the consciousness of adopted sons by which we cry, "Abba," that is, "Father." 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirits that we are God's children; 17 and if children, then also heirs, heirs of God and fellow-heirs with Christ if in reality we share His sufferings, so that we may share His glory too.
18 For I consider all that we suffer in this present life is nothing to be compared with the glory which by-and-by is to be uncovered for us. 19 For all nature is expectantly waiting for the unveiling of the sons of God. 20 For nature did not of its own accord give up to failure; it was for the sake of Him who let it thus be given up, in the hope 21 that even nature itself might finally be set free from its bondage to decay, so as to share the glorious freedom of God's children.
