Romans 8:19-27

19For the 1anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for 2the revealing of the 3sons of God. 20For the creation 4was subjected to 5futility, not willingly, but 6because of Him who subjected it, 7in hope 21that 8the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation 9groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 2310And not only this, but also we ourselves, having 11the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves 12groan within ourselves, 13waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, 14the redemption of our body. 24For 15in hope we have been saved, but 16hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25But 17if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

26In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for 18we do not know how to pray as we should, but 19the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27and 20He who searches the hearts knows what 21the mind of the Spirit is, because He 22intercedes for the 23saints according to the will of God.
