Romans 8:24-31 (SLV)

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope:  for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for it?  But if we hope for that we do not see, then we, with patience, wait for it.  Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities:  for we know not for what we should pray as we ought:  but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  And He Who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.  For those He did foreknow, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.  Moreover, those He predestined, He also called:  and those He called, He also justified: and those He justified, He also glorified.  What shall we then say concerning these things?  If God be for us, who can be against us?
