Romans 8:24

A Two-Stage Healing

²³ More than that, we ourselves, though we have in the Spirit a foretaste of the future, groan to ourselves as we wait to be declared God's sons, through the redemption of our bodies. ²⁴ It was in this hope that we were saved. But a hope that can be seen is not a hope, for who hopes for what he sees? ²⁵ But when we hope for something that we do not see, we wait persistently for it.
