Romans 8:23 in Context — Romans 8
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.
24 Car c’est en espérance que nous sommes sauvés. Or, l’espérance qu’on voit n’est plus espérance: ce qu’on voit, peut-on l’espérer encore?
25 Mais si nous espérons ce que nous ne voyons pas, nous l’attendons avec persévérance.
