Romans 8:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 8:25

23 Not only that, but we also who have ^athe firstfruits of the Spirit, ^beven we ourselves groan ^cwithin ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the ^dredemption of our body.

24 For we were saved in this hope, but ^ahope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For ^awe do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but ^bthe Spirit Himself makes intercession¹ for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 Now ^aHe who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints ^baccording to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those ^awho are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom ^aHe foreknew, ^bHe also predestined ^cto be conformed to the image of His Son, ^dthat He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also ^acalled; whom He called, these He also ^bjustified; and whom He justified, these He also ^cglorified.
