    19. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God,

    20. for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

    21. that the creation itself will be set free from its enslavement to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

    22. We know that the whole creation has been groaning together as it suffers together the pains of labor,

    23. and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

    24. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what one already sees?

    25. But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

    15. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;

    16. for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him.

    17. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

    18. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.

    19. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,

    20. and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

    26. Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

    27. And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life?

    28. And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin,

    29. yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

    30. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
