In the same way, the Holy Spirit helps us when we are weak. We don’t know what we should pray for, but the Spirit himself prays for us with groans that are too deep for words.
The Spirit you received doesn’t make you slaves who live in fear again. Instead, the Spirit you received has made you God’s genuine child by adoption. And the Spirit leads us to call out to God, “Abba, Father.”
We don’t have a high priest who can’t feel what we feel when we’re weak. Instead, we have a high priest who has been tempted in every way just as we are, but without sinning.
While we live in this tent of ours, we groan and feel weighed down. We don’t want our clothes to fall off. Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our heavenly home. That way the part of us that dies will be will swallowed up in life.
