25. and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26. And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,
27. and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.
28. And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
29. because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

33. Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,
34. who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God--who also doth intercede for us.
35. Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36. (according as it hath been written--`For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')
37. but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;
