Romans 8:24-26

8:24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees? 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance. 1 

8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, 2  but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

1 tn Or “perseverance.”

2 tn Or “for we do not know what we ought to pray for.”
