Romans 8:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 But if we hope for that we see not, we do with patience abide for it.
26 [a]Likewise the Spirit also [b]helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what to pray as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh [c]request for us with sighs, which cannot be expressed.
27 But he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the [d]meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for the Saints, [e]according to the will of God.

New International Version
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(A)
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(B) himself intercedes for us(C) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(D) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(E) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
