Romans 8:23 in Context — Romans 8
21 Que también las mismas criaturas serán libradas de la servidumbre de corrupción en la libertad gloriosa de los hijos de Dios.
22 Porque sabemos que todas las criaturas gimen á una, y á una están de parto hasta ahora.
23 Y no sólo ellas, mas también nosotros mismos, que tenemos las primicias del Espíritu, nosotros también gemimos dentro de nosotros mismos, esperando la adopción, [es á saber], la redención de nuestro cuerpo.
24 Porque en esperanza somos salvos; mas la esperanza que se ve, no es esperanza; porque lo que alguno ve, ¿á qué esperarlo?
25 Empero si lo que no vemos esperamos, por paciencia esperamos.
