Romans 8:23-25

Contemporary English Version

²³^(A) The Spirit makes us sure about what we will be in the future. But now we groan silently, while we wait for God to show that we are his children.^[a] This means that our bodies will also be set free. ²⁴And this hope is what saves us. But if we already have what we hope for, there is no need to keep on hoping. ²⁵However, we hope for something we have not yet seen, and we patiently wait for it.
