CREATURE . In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘creature’ is used in the general (and original) sense of ‘what is created.’ Thus 2 Corinthians 5:17 ‘if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature’; 1 Timothy 4:4 ‘for every creature of God is good.’ In Romans 8:19-21 it is not merely living creatures in the modern use of the word that wait for deliverance, but the whole creation of God (as AV [Note: Authorized Version.] itself has it in Romans 8:22 ).
