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?
(NASB2020)

jin
hope we have been
saved, but
khope that is
seen is not
hope; for
who hopes for
what he
already sees?
For in
hope we were
saved.
Now hope that
is seen is not hope,
because who hopes for what he
sees?
