Romans 8:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
28 [f]Also we know that [g]all things work together for the best unto them that love God, even to them that are called of his [h]purpose.
