so, but we
ourselves,
who have
the
firstfruits of
the Spirit,

came out and
went into the
pigs. The herd,
about two
thousand in

has sent
speaks the
words of God,

praise of his glory.

Romans 8:26-27

in our weakness. We do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the

our hearts knows the mind of the
Spirit, because the Spirit
intercedes for the saints in
accordance with God's will.
