Romans 8:25

A Two-Stage Healing

²⁴ For we are saved by this hope; but hope that is seen is not hope; for, what any one sees, why does he also hope for it? ²⁵ But if we hope for that which we see not we wait for it with patience. ²⁶ In like manner, also, the Spirit helps our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us, with groanings unutterable.
