Romans 8:24
“For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?”
Verse in context — Romans 8
22
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23
Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
24
For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25
But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.
26
In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered.
