Romans 8:25

But since we hope for what we do not see, we wait with patience.

Catholic Public Domain Version

In The King James Version

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

In Context

24For we have been saved by hope. But a hope which is seen is not hope. For when a man sees something, why would he hope?

26And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing.
