23. and not only creation, but even ourselves. We ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Ruach, groan inwardly as we eagerly wait for adoption—the redemption of our body.
24. For in hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
25. But if we hope for what we do not see, then we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26. In the same way, the Ruach helps in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Ruach Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.

28. Now we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.
