⁵ And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

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.

¹² And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

⁸ For what is the hope of the sinner when he is cut off, when God takes back his soul?

³ For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring.

⁴ And they will come up like grass in a well-watered field, like water-plants by the streams.

⁵ One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.

³³ And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

⁶ And because you are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, saying, Abba, Father.

¹⁹ We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

³ But if anyone has love for God, God has knowledge of him.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

¹³ In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,

¹⁶ That in the wealth of his glory he would make you strong with power through his Spirit in your hearts;

¹⁷ So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

¹⁸ May have strength to see with all the saints how wide and long and high and deep it is,

¹⁹ And to have knowledge of the love of Christ which is outside all knowledge, so that you may be made complete as God himself is complete.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹⁸ So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

¹⁹ And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

¹⁰ For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

¹¹ And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

¹² And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.

²⁸ And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

¹⁷ And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

⁴ Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

⁵ They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

¹¹⁶ Be my support as you have said, and give me life; let not my hope be turned to shame.

¹⁵ Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue:

¹⁶ For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.

¹⁷ And I will make right decision the measuring-line, and righteousness the weight: and the ice-storm will take away the safe place of false words, and the secret place will be covered by the flowing waters.

¹⁸ And the help you were looking for from death will come to nothing, and your agreement with the underworld will be broken; when the overflowing waters come through, then you will be overcome by them.

¹⁶ All those who have gone against him will be put to shame; the makers of images will be made low.

¹⁷ But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.

²³ And kings will take care of you, and queens will give you their milk: they will go down on their faces before you, kissing the dust of your feet; and you will be certain that I am the Lord, and that those who put their hope in me will not be shamed.

⁵ This is what the Lord has said: Cursed is the man who puts his faith in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart is turned away from the Lord.

⁶ For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.

⁷ A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

²⁵ And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

¹⁴ And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

¹⁵ For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

¹⁶ The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:

¹⁷ And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

²² And it is he who has put his stamp on us, even the Spirit, as the sign in our hearts of the coming glory.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

⁶ Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

³⁰ And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

⁵ Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

⁶ Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

³⁶ Master, which is the chief rule in the law?

³⁷ And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
