15 For ye have not received the spirit of slavery to be in fear again, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 For the same Spirit bears witness unto our spirit that we are sons of God,
17 and if sons, also heirs certainly of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together with him.
18 For I know with certainty that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory which shall be manifested in us.
19 For the earnest hope of the creatures waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creatures were subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected them,
21 with the hope that the same creatures shall be delivered from the slavery of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.
