Romans 8:26

---

← Romans 8:25	Romans 8:26 (KJV)	Romans 8:27 →
But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].	Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.	And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
