Romans 8:23-27

English Standard Version

²³ And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have ^(A)the firstfruits of the Spirit, ^(B)groan inwardly as ^(C)we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, ^(D)the redemption of our bodies. ²⁴ For ^(E)in this hope we were saved. Now ^(F)hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we ^(G)wait for it with patience.

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For ^(H)we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but ^(I)the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. ²⁷ And ^(J)he who searches hearts knows what is ^(K)the mind of the Spirit, because^[a] the Spirit ^(L)intercedes for the saints ^(M)according to the will of God.
