The Glory That Is To Be Revealed
20 But God subjected the created world to aimless frustration [i.e., after the fall. See Gen. 3:17-18] --- it did not happen by its own choice. Yet there was hope 21 that the created world itself would be freed from its slavery to corrupting influences [i.e., produced by the fall] and receive the glorious freedom which belongs to God's children. 22 For we know that the entire created world moans in painful anguish [i.e., as a woman in childbirth] until this present moment.
