25.145 · Attitudes and Emotions · Laugh, Cry, Groan
to groan together, to sigh together to groan or to sigh together with someone else In ROM 8:22 συστενάζω is used figuratively. It may be difficult to speak of ‘all of creation groans together,’ since the phrase ‘all of creation’ would seem to be a total unit. It may therefore be necessary to translate ‘all of creation groans together’ as ‘all parts of the creation groan together’ or ‘everything that has been created is groaning at the same time.’
