Context: Romans 8
17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
About Romans 8: Life in the Spirit
Paul teaches that people who are in Christ Jesus are no longer under condemnation, and that the Holy Spirit helps them to live a life pleasing to God.
Commentary
Romans 8 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Paul begins by reminding us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He then goes on to explain that the Spirit of God has set us free from the law of sin and death. This freedom is a result of the Spirit of God living in us and leading us in the way of righteousness.
