Connecting Statement:

Paul continues to remind the believers in Rome that sometime in the future, God will change their bodies in a glorious way.

For in this hope we were saved

You can translate this in an active form. Alternate translation: "For God saved us because we hoped in him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he can see?

Paul uses a question to help his audience understand what "hope" is. Alternate translation: "But if we are confidently waiting, that means we do not yet have what we want. No one can confidently wait if he already has what he wants" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
