Romans 8:22-28

22For we knowG3609 that the wholeG3956 creationG2937 1groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959 G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 23 2And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 3the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 4groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 5waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 6the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 7in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 8hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 9ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for whatG3739 we do not seeG991, with perseveranceG5281 we waitG553 eagerlyG553 for it.

26In the sameG5615 wayG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpsG4878 our weaknessG769; for 10we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 11the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215; 27and 12He who searchesG2045 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 13the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 14intercedesG1793 for the 15saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 16GodG2316 causesG4903 17allG3956 thingsG3956 to workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 18calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286.
