Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain 
together until now. 
8:23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits 
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the 
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 

Revelation 14:These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are 
virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. 
These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to 
the Lamb.
