• "Thus our English word helpeth — [“helpeth our infirmities”] — represents a long Greek word compounded of two prepositions and a verb; the preposition with indicating a conjunction of sympathy, the preposition instead of, indicating substitution, and the verb taking hold of as in participation; [4] precisely the same verb in precisely the same phrase which is translated, “took our infirmities,” Matth. viii, 17 in the remarkable passage that declares the vicarious assumption of our bodily infirmities and evils by Christ; only there the verb is not intensified by the prepositions here compounded with it."
• "The word translated "helpeth" is one of the apostle's suggestive picture words and means taketh hold along with us."
• "Not only does that Spirit co-operate with the human spirit in this witness-bearing, but the verse, of which our text is a part, points to another form of co-operation: for the word rendered in the earlier part of the verse 'helpeth' in the original suggests more distinctly that the Spirit of God in His intercession for us works in association with us."
