²⁷ And ^(A)he who searches hearts knows what is ^(B)the mind of the Spirit, because^[a] the Spirit ^(C)intercedes for the saints ^(D)according to the will of God. ²⁸ And we know that for those who love God all things work together ^(E)for good,^[b] for ^(F)those who are called according to his purpose.

⁵² And Jesus ^(A)increased in wisdom and in stature^[a] and in ^(B)favor with God and man.

¹⁶ So we do not lose heart. ^(A)Though our outer self^[a] is wasting away, ^(B)our inner self ^(C)is being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For ^(D)this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, ^18 (E)as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
