Romans 8:24 in context

Romans 8:21–27

21

that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

22

For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

23

Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

24
Selected verse

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

25

But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

26

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

27

He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.
