22. For we now know that all the creatures groan together and travail in pain together until now.
23. And not only they, but ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to say, the redemption of our body.
24. For in hope we are saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man sees, he does not wait for.
25. But if we wait for that which we do not see, with patience we wait for it.
26. And likewise also the Spirit helps our weakness; for we know not how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself makes entreaty for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27. But he that searches the hearts knows what is the desire of the Spirit, that according to the will of God, he makes entreaty for the saints.
28. And we now know that unto those who love God, all things help them unto good, to those who according to the purpose are called to be saints.
29. For unto those whom he knew beforehand, he also marked out beforehand the way that they might be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30. And unto those whom he did mark out beforehand the way, to these he also called; and to whom he called, these he also justified; and to whom he justified, these he also glorified.
