Wednesday, July 6 : Epistle to the Romans 8,18-23.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us.
For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope.
Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
