Romans 8:19-23 For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.… Just as the infectious disease in the dying sufferer contaminates the garments which he wore and the house which he inhabited, and throws its mysterious virus, and hence the seeds of death, into the atmosphere on all sides, so by the judgment of God the sin of the tenant has infected the whole of this creation, and cast in some sort and degree its seed of vanity and corruption everywhere. The disorder and rebellion in which the great usurper revels have obtained everywhere in the world which he won by his first temptation, and the peace and order of the rightful King have passed away before them. (C. J. P. Eyre, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.WEB: For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. |
