26. At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we don’t know how to pray for what we need. But the Spirit intercedes along with our groans that cannot be expressed in words.
27. The one who searches our hearts knows what the Spirit has in mind. The Spirit intercedes for God’s people the way God wants him to.

29. This is true because he already knew his people and had already appointed them to have the same form as the image of his Son. Therefore, his Son is the firstborn among many children.
30. He also called those whom he had already appointed. He approved of those whom he had called, and he gave glory to those whom he had approved of.

32. God didn’t spare his own Son but handed him over ⌊to death⌋ for all of us. So he will also give us everything along with him.
33. Who will accuse those whom God has chosen? God has approved of them.
34. Who will condemn them? Christ has died, and more importantly, he was brought back to life. Christ has the highest position in heaven. Christ also intercedes for us.
