Romans 8:26 in Context — Romans 8

24 Car c’est en espérance que nous sommes sauvés. Or, l’espérance qu’on voit n’est plus espérance: ce qu’on voit, peut-on l’espérer encore?

25 Mais si nous espérons ce que nous ne voyons pas, nous l’attendons avec persévérance.

26 De même aussi l’Esprit nous aide dans notre faiblesse, car nous ne savons pas ce qu’il nous convient de demander dans nos prières. Mais l’Esprit lui-même intercède par des soupirs inexprimables;

27 et celui qui sonde les cœurs connaît quelle est la pensée de l’Esprit, parce que c’est selon Dieu qu’il intercède en faveur des saints.

28 Nous savons, du reste, que toutes choses concourent au bien de ceux qui aiment Dieu, de ceux qui sont appelés selon son dessein.
