Versliste
which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
{Or, seeing that he both sealed us}who also sealed us, and gave us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
For {Or, by}in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: {Many ancient authorities read for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?}for who {Some ancient authorities read awaiteth.}hopeth for that which he seeth?
For {Or, by}in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: {Many ancient authorities read for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?}for who {Some ancient authorities read awaiteth.}hopeth for that which he seeth?
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
