“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”
For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. — The κτίσις (ktisis, "creation") itself is ἀποκαραδοκέω (apokaradokeō, "await eagerly")—not yet liberated but oriented toward the revelation (ἀποκάλυψις, apokalypsis) of God's υἱοί (hyioi, "sons"). The cosmos is enlisted as a witness to redemption's incompleteness. Creation's redemption awaits humanity's glorification.
