^{24 Ref} For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

^{25 Ref} But if we hope for that which we see not, `then' do we with patience wait for it.

^{26 Ref} And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for `us' with groanings which cannot be uttered;

^{24 Ref} For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?

^{25 Ref} But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.

^{26 Ref} And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

^{24 Ref} For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

^{25 Ref} But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

^{26 Ref} 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.
