Romans 8:23

And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction brings about perseverance;

And not only this, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding to the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

so that you are not lacking in any gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

by predestining us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not been manifested as yet what we will be. We know that when He is manifested, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
