Romans 8:20 in Context — Romans 8

18 Pois considero que as aflições deste tempo presente nem se comparam com a glória que nos será revelada.

19 Pois a criação espera ansiosamente a revelação dos filhos de Deus;

20 porque a criação ficou sujeita à futilidade (não por vontade própria, mas sim por causa daquele que a sujeitou),

21 na esperança de que também a mesma criação seja liberta da escravidão da degradação para a liberdade da glória dos filhos de Deus.

22 Pois sabemos que toda a criação geme e sofre dores como as de parto até agora.
