Romans 8:22-28
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 For we know that the whole creation (A)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 (B)And not only this, but also we ourselves, having (C)the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves (D)groan within ourselves, (E)waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, (F)the redemption of our body. 24 For (G)in hope we have been saved, but (H)hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But (I)if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
Our Victory in Christ
26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for (J)we do not know how to pray as we should, but (K)the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and (L)He who searches the hearts knows what (M)the mind of the Spirit is, because He (N)intercedes for the [a]saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that [b]God causes (O)all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are (P)called according to His purpose.
