26

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

27

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will.

28

And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,

29

because those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

30

And those he predestined, he also called; and those he called, he also justified; and those he justified, he also glorified.

31

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
