From a fully vowelled text
وَلكِنْ إِنْ كُنَّا نَرْجُو مَا لَسْنَا نَنْظُرُهُ فَإِنَّنَا نَتَوَقَّعُهُ بِالصَّبْرِ.But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.Romans 8:25, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَنَحْنُ كُنَّا نَرْجُو أَنَّهُ هُوَ الْمُزْمِعُ أَنْ يَفْدِيَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلكِنْ، مَعَ هذَا كُلِّهِ، الْيَوْمَ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مُنْذُ حَدَثَ ذلِكَ.But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.Luke 24:21, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَإِنْ أَقْرَضْتُمُ الَّذِينَ تَرْجُونَ أَنْ تَسْتَرِدُّوا مِنْهُمْ، فَأَيُّ فَضْل لَكُمْ؟ فَإِنَّ الْخُطَاةَ أَيْضًا يُقْرِضُونَ الْخُطَاةَ لِكَيْ يَسْتَرِدُّوا مِنْهُمُ الْمِثْلَ.And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.Luke 6:34, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
