Bible Comments

(22) And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within (d) ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], (e) the redemption of our body.

(22) Fifthly, if the rest of the world looks for a restoring, groaning as it were for it and that not in vain, let us also sigh, indeed, let us be more certainly persuaded of our redemption to come, for we already have the first fruits of the Spirit.

(d) Even from the bottom of our hearts.

(e) The last restoring, which will be the accomplishment of our adoption.
