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

"the creature" = ktisis

Creation/ thing created

"made subject" = hypotassō

To arrange under/ put in subjection

"to vanity" = mataiotēs

"not willingly" = ou hekōn

Not of one's own will.

Not of one's own accord.

"subjected by Him" = hypotassō

To subject / put in subjection.

Made subject.

"to Him who so subjected it"
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?
