Romans 8:25

But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

Berean Standard Bible

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 in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
