¹⁸ For without doubt there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

¹⁸ For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.

¹⁴ So let your desire be for wisdom: if you have it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

¹¹ For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.

³⁷ Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.

²⁰ For there will be no future for the evil man; the light of sinners will be put out.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

²¹ What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

²² But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

²⁰ In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

³⁵ So do not give up your hope which will be greatly rewarded.
