Where in Romans 8 do all three persons of the Trinity show up together?

The Trinity appears together in Romans 8 within a few verses: the Spirit and God are referenced in Romans 8:26, and Christ is in view a little further down, including Romans 8:33. The context identifies these as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit—three distinct entities, yet one God.

Les explains that back in Romans chapter 8, within just a few verses, all three persons of the Godhead show up. He points to Romans 8:26, where the Spirit is mentioned along with God, showing the Spirit and God in His triune entity. Then coming down a little further, the passage deals with Christ, including Romans 8:33, "since Christ died, and God let him..." Les says this gives all three persons of the Trinity within just a few verses. He adds that whenever the term God is used, it is the triune God, the whole Godhead, as Paul calls it: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit—three distinct entities, and yet one God.

Romans 8:26

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.
