Where in Romans does Paul mention the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit within just a few verses?
Paul mentions the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit within a few verses in Romans chapter 8. The passage cites Romans 8:26, where the Spirit and God are in view, and then a little further down, around Romans 8:33, Christ is being dealt with, showing all three persons of the Godhead.
Les explains that Romans chapter 8 contains within just a few verses all three persons of the Godhead. He points first to Romans 8:26, which speaks of the Spirit and of God, then notes that further down, around verse 33, the context deals with Christ. Les says this shows God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit as three distinct entities, yet one God—the triune God, the whole Godhead as Paul calls it.
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.
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
