Connecting Statement:
Paul continues reminding the believers in Rome that their bodies will be changed at the redemption of our bodies.
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors in pain together even now
The creation is compared to a woman groaning while giving birth to a baby. Alternate translation: "For we know that everything that God created wants to be free and groans for it the way a woman giving birth groans for her baby to be born" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
