Romans 8:20-22

Living Bible

^20-21 For on that day thorns and thistles, sin, death, and decay^[a]—the things that overcame the world against its will at God’s command—will all disappear, and the world around us will share in the glorious freedom from sin which God’s children enjoy.

²² For we know that even the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as they await this great event.^[b]
