Connecting Statement:

Paul continues reminding the believers in Rome that their bodies will be changed at the redemption of our bodies.

For in this certain 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)
