Romans 8:26-27

Expanded Bible

²⁶ ·Also [or In the same way], the Spirit helps us ·with [or in] our weakness. We do not know ·how to pray as we should [or what we ought to pray for]. But the Spirit himself ·speaks to God for us [intercedes] with ·deep feelings [^Lgroanings] ·that words cannot explain [or that are inexpressible; or that are unspoken; or too deep for words]. ²⁷ ·God can see what is in people’s hearts and [^LThe one who searches hearts] knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit ·speaks to God [intercedes; appeals] for ·his people [or his holy people; ^Tthe saints] ·in the way God wants [or in harmony with God; ^Laccording to God].
