Romans 8:24

A Two-Stage Healing

²³ We also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption and the release from our bodies by ransom. ²⁴ For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? ²⁵ If we hope for what we do not see, do we have patience to wait for it?
