Romans 8:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 [a]For we are saved by hope: but [b]hope that is seen, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, we do with patience abide for it.
26 [c]Likewise the Spirit also [d]helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what to pray as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh [e]request for us with sighs, which cannot be expressed.

- Romans 8:24 Sixthly, hope is necessarily joined with faith: seeing then that we believe those things, which we are not yet in possession of, and hope respected not the thing that is present, we must therefore hope and patiently wait for that which we believe shall come to pass.
- Romans 8:24 This is spoken by the figure Metonymy: Hope, for that which is hoped for.
- Romans 8:26 Seventhly, There is no cause why we should faint under the burden of afflictions, seeing that prayers minister unto us a most sure help, which cannot be frustrated, seeing they proceed from the spirit of God which dwelleth in us.
- Romans 8:26 Beareth our burden, as it were that we faint not under it.
- Romans 8:26 Provoketh us to prayers, and telleth us as it were within, what we shall say, and how we shall groan.
