Romans 8:22-29 King James Version (KJV)

Romans 8:22-29 King James Version (KJV)

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved

by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

• 26 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 groaning which cannot be uttered. 27 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. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who

are the called according to his purpose.
