Romans 8:24–25
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?
For wee are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
But if wee hope for that wee see not, then doe wee with patience waite for it.
