Romans 8:25-27
New International Version
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(A)
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(B) himself intercedes for us(C) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(D) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(E) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
