Romans 8:24

For in this certain hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he can see?

Unlocked Literal Bible

In The King James Version

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25But if we have certain hope about what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
