Romans 8:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.(A) 24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees for itself is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees?(B) 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait with endurance.
