Romans 8:24-26
New Living Translation
24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope[a] for it. 25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

Romans 8:24-26
New International Version
24 For in this hope we were saved.(A) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(B) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(C)
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(D) himself intercedes for us(E) through wordless groans.
