Romans 8:19
The earnest expectation of the creature. "Creature" is rendered
"creation" in the Revised Version, and this rendering is approved by
all the best critics. Chrysostom says,
``Paul personifies the world, just as the prophets do when they
make the floods to clap their hands.'
The whole world is represented earnestly looking forward to
the manifestation of the sons of God, to that day of future glory
when the sons of God will have reached their high estate and be
revealed as his children. It is a fine, poetic figure, a grand
conception.
