Romans 8:22-28

Romans 8:22-28 CSB

For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains  until now. Not only that,  but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits   #— #we also groan within ourselves,  eagerly waiting for adoption,  the redemption of our bodies.  Now in this hope  we were saved, but hope  that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees? Now if we hope for what we do not see,  we eagerly wait for it with patience. In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should,  but the Spirit himself intercedes for us  , with inexpressible groanings. And he who searches our hearts  knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. We know that all things work together  for the good  of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
