Romans 8:25

A Two-Stage Healing

²⁴ for we are saved but by hope: but hope supposes things not yet present; for how can a man hope for what he has now in possession? ²⁵ but if we hope for what is yet to come, our patience does necessarily intervene. ²⁶ The spirit likewise softens our afflictions: for being at a loss to apply for the most proper relief; the spirit it self affects us with those pious ejaculations, which we can't well express.
