I do Not have any comprehension and/or fluency in the Greek language(s).
However, I wanted to get a better understanding of Romans 8:26 which is related to prayer.
I might just be nit-picking.
As I was reviewing various Bible translations, I noticed that:
some translations emphasize that we do Not know What to pray ( as in intent/objective/goal of a specific prayer)
other translations emphasize that we do Not know How to pray ( as in nature/manner of a specific prayer)
Therefore, I was just curious as to what the various New Testament Greek Texts would state. I posted the some different New Testament Greek Texts from https://biblehub.com/text/romans/8-26.htm
In any case, could someone please read & evaluate the different New Testament Greek Texts to see if they say "What" and/or "How"? Is there some kind of Greek phrase or word that entails both "What" And "How" (which probably does Not exist in English)?
Romans 8:25-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. 26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know How to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the [a]saints according to the will of God.Romans 8:25-27 King James Version (KJV)
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not What we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 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.ΠΡΟΣ ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ 8:26 Greek NT: Westcott and Hort 1881 Ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν· τὸ γὰρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθὸ δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τὸ πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις,
