²⁴ For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

¹ Now faith is assurance of `things' hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

⁸ But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁷ (for we walk by faith, not by sight);

¹⁸ while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

²⁷ to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹¹ For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹² instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹⁸ that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, `a hope' both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

³ Blessed `be' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that `should come' unto you:

¹¹ searching what `time' or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.

²¹ who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

³ And every one that hath this hope `set' on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

²³ if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.

⁵ because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

²² Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee. Psalm 34 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

⁵ Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Jehovah his God:

³² The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.

⁷ Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is.

¹² Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.

² through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

¹² rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;

⁴ For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

¹³ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹³ But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

⁵ For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

¹⁸ Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;
