After establishing the centrality of the glory motif in Romans, this article argues that the groaning which characterizes the Holy Spirit's intercession in Rom 8:26 is a groaning for the glory of the sons of God to be realized. Paul shows in Romans that the Spirit is both the guarantor of future glory and the agent who brings about the glorification of believers. A contextual reading of Rom 5:3-5 and 8:26-27, two Passages in which paul closely correlates the spirit with future glory shows that the present tranforming work of the spirit in believers' lives, especially through trials and afflictions both validates their hope of of glory and is a pre cursor to their full share in the glory of God.
