Romans 8:25 Context
23And not only they, but our selues also which haue the first fruites of the spirit, euen we our selues groane within our selues, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24For wee are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25But if wee hope for that wee see not, then doe wee with patience waite for it. 26Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what wee should pray for as wee ought: but the spirit it selfe maketh intercession for vs with groanings, which cannot bee vttered. 27And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the minde of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the Saints, according to the will of God.
