ROMANS 8:22-27
We know that the whole creation has been groaning
together as it suffers together the pains of labor, and
not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the
first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait
for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For
in hope, we were saved. Now hope that is seen is
not hope, for who hopes for what one already
sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we
wait for it with patience. Likewise, the Spirit helps
us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray
as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with
groanings too deep for words. And God, who
searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the
Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints
according to the will of God.
JOHN 15:26-27, 16:4b-15
"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to
you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes
f rom the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You
also are to testify because you have been with me
from the beginning. But I have said these things to
you so that when their hour comes you may
remember that I told you about them. “I did not
say these things to you from the beginning, because
I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent
me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you
going?’ But because I have said these things to you,
sorrow has filled your hearts.
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your
advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away,
the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will
send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove
the world wrong about sin, righteousness, and
judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in
me; about righteousness, because I am going to
the Father and you will see me no longer; about
judgment, because the ruler of this world has been
condemned. “I still have many things to say to you,
but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of
truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he
will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he
hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to
come. He will glorify me because he will take what is
mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is
mine. For this reason, I said that he will take what is
mine and declare it to you.
