Romans 8:25-27
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
25 But since we hope-for what we do not see, we are eagerly-awaiting it with endurance.
The Spirit Groans To Help Us In Our Present Weakness
26 And similarly also[a] the Spirit helps our weakness. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought-to, but the Spirit Himself intercedes-for us with inexpressible[b] groanings. 27 And the One searching our hearts knows[c] what the mind of the Spirit is, because He is interceding for the saints in accordance with God.
