Romans 8:25

A Two-Stage Healing

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 hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly 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.
