For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope

Επειδη η κτισις υπεταχθη εις την ματαιοτητα, ουχι εκουσιως, αλλα δια τον υποταξαντα αυτην,

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
