Romans 8:21 in Context — Romans 8

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.

23 Et ce n’est pas elle seulement; mais nous aussi, qui avons les prémices de l’Esprit, nous aussi nous soupirons en nous-mêmes, en attendant l’adoption, la rédemption de notre corps.
