Romans 8:27

and the explorer of hearts, he knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; because he prayeth for the saints, agreeably to the good pleasure of God.

James Murdock's Translation of the Syriac Peshitta

In The King James Version

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28And we know that he aideth him in all things, for good, who love God; them whom he predestined to be called.
