Romans 8
1. Those who are in Christ are free from condemnation.
5. What harm comes of the flesh;
13. and what good of the Spirit.
19. The glorious deliverance the creation longs for,
29. was beforehand decreed from God.
38. Nothing can sever us from his love.














(21) Because the creature.--The reason for the hope which survives through the degradation of nature; what creation is to be.

Because.--Perhaps rather "that," to be joined on to the end of the last verse, "in hope that creation, also," &c. So Meyer and Ellicott.

Delivered from the bondage of corruption.--The state of decay and ruin into which the world by nature has fallen, is regarded as a servitude opposed to the state of liberty into which it will be ushered at the Coming of Christ.

Glorious liberty of the children of God.--Translate rather, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God--i.e., into the state of liberty or emancipation which will attend the appearance of the Messiah and His redeemed. Their state will be one of liberty, and in that liberty the whole creation hopes to share.
