Romans 8:25

A Two-Stage Healing

²⁴ For by hope were we saved: but hope being seen is not hope: for what any one sees, why does he also hope? ²⁵ And if what we see not, we hope for, by patience we wait. ²⁶ And likewise also the Spirit takes hold together, and assists our weaknesses: for what we would pray for as we ought, we know not, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
