King James Version (KJV)

Romans 8:20

“For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,”

Verse in context — Romans 8

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

A deep explanation of salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
