“His sighings or groanings are not expressed in human language. This does not refer to the groanings of Christians, but to the Spirit’s. Apparently, the idea is that the grief of the Holy Spirit for the Christians is deep, but it is not expressed in words of human beings. This refers to the intercession or pleading that he does on behalf of Christians.”
