And I would not ye should be ignorant, brethren, that many times I proposed to come to you, (and I was hindered till this time,) that I might have some fruit also in you, and in the rest of the nations.

For scarcely for the just will any one die: yet for the good perhaps some also would venture to die.

For what I work I know not: for what I would not, this I do; but what I hate, this I do.

And if what I would not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

For not what good I would, do I; but the evil I would not, this I do.

And if what I would not, this I do, I no more work it, but sin dwelling in me.

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.
