EXHORTATIONS

Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us]
that we are children of God. And if we are [His] children, then we are [His]

present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be
revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us! For [even the whole]
creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to
be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]"....
