Paul writes that creation 'groans together' with believers, both awaiting redemption. The verb intensifies groaning with συν- ('together'), depicting cosmic solidarity in suffering. This is not isolated pain but shared anguish—earth and humanity sighing in concert toward eschatological liberation. Spanish 'gime juntamente' and German 'mitseufzen' preserve the participatory dimension, essential to Paul's theology of corporate groaning as prelude to corporate glory.
