Romans 8:22-25 CEV We know that all creation is still groaning and is in pain, like a woman about to give birth. (23) The Spirit makes us sure about what we will be in the future (by our faith in the scriptures). But now we groan silently, while we wait for God to show that we are his children. This means that our bodies will also be set free. (Job 33:18 & 24-25) (24) And this hope is what saves us. But if we already have what we hope for, there is no need to keep on hoping. (25) However, we hope for something we have not yet seen, and we patiently wait for it.
Romans 8:22-25 ESV For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. (23) And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit (by consuming the words of Christ), groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. (Job 33:18 & 24-25) (24) For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? (25) But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Romans 8:22-25 BBE For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now. (23) And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit (gained by taking in the words of Christ), even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies. (Job 33:18 & 24-25) (24) For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees? (25) But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.
Romans 8:22-25 GNB For we know that up to the present time all of creation groans with pain, like the pain of childbirth. (23) But it is not just creation alone which groans; we who have the Spirit as the first of God's gifts (through our knowledge of what Christ taught) also groan within ourselves as we wait for God to make us his children and set our whole being free. (Job 33:18 & 24-25) (24) For it was by hope that we were saved; but if we see what we hope for, then it is not really hope. For who of us hopes for something we see? (25) But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
