Romans
8:24
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?
a. NLT: We were given this hope when we were saved.
(If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it.
b. NIV: For in this hope we were saved. But hope that
is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
c. YLT: 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?
d. Amplified Bible Classic: For in [this] hope we
were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one
hope for what he already sees?
e. Worrell Translation: For by hope we were saved:
but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for that which he sees?
1. “For we are saved by hope…”
a. for [1063 * gar] [Strong:
a primary particle; properly, assigning a reason (used in argument, explanation
or intensification; often with other particles):--and, as, because (that), but,
even, for, indeed, no doubt, seeing, then, therefore, verily, what, why, yet.]
b. we are saved [4982 *
sozo] [Zodhiates: to save, deliver, make whole, preserve safe from danger,
loss, destruction…Sozo occurs fifty-four times in the Gospels [fifty-six in the
KJV]. Of the instances where sozo is used, fourteen relate to deliverance from
disease or demon possession; in twenty instances, the inference is to the
rescue of physical life from some impending peril or instant death; the
remaining twenty times, the reference is to spiritual salvation.] [Strong: from

1). The “hope” here is the hope God subjected the
creation under looking forward to the complete and fulfilled redemption.
a). Romans 8:20, 21 For the
creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath
subjected the same in hope,
8:21 Because the creature
itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God.
