“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. — Liberation (ἐλευθερόω, eleutherōō) of the κτίσις (ktisis, "creation") is parallel to humanity's rescue: both move from δουλεία (douleia, "bondage") toward ἐλευθερία (eleutheria, "freedom") and δόξα (doxa, "glory"). The new creation will be characterized by shared freedom and radiance.
