Romans 8:25

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

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

26In the same way, the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groans.
