- 25
Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
不但如此，就是我們這有聖靈初結果子的，也是自己心裡歎息，等候得著兒子的名分，乃是我們的身體得贖。
我們得救是在乎盼望；只是所見的盼望不是盼望，誰還盼望他所見的呢（有古卷：人所著見的何必再盼望呢）？
但我們若盼望那所不見的，就必忍耐等候。

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
