^{24 Ref} for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for `it'?

^{25 Ref} and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect `it'.

^{26 Ref} And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth `us', we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

^{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 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.
