International Standard Version For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now a hope that can be observed is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?
American Standard Version For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?
Young's Literal Translation for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for it?
