Romans 8:20 in Context — Romans 8
18 J’estime que les souffrances du temps présent ne sauraient être comparées à la gloire à venir qui sera révélée pour nous.
19 Aussi la création attend-elle avec un ardent désir la révélation des fils de Dieu.
20 Car la création a été soumise à la vanité, non de son gré, mais à cause de celui qui l’y a soumise,
21 avec l’espérance qu’elle aussi sera affranchie de la servitude de la corruption, pour avoir part à la liberté de la gloire des enfants de Dieu.
22 Or, nous savons que, jusqu’à ce jour, la création tout entière soupire et souffre les douleurs de l’enfantement.
