Romans 8

²² We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.

²³ Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

²⁴ For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

²⁶ In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
