This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rom 8:24. Ἐλπίδι) the dative, not of the means, but of the manner; we are so saved, that there may even yet remain something, for which we may hope,-both salvation and glory. He limits the present salvation, but, while he limits, he by that very circumstance takes it for granted.-τί καὶ) why yet does he hope for it? Where there is vision, there is no need of hope. The blessed will be sure of the eternity of their blessedness, because they shall have no need of hope; and therefore they will be established in it.
