²³ let us hold fast the confession of our hope unyieldingly. For he who promised is faithful.

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

¹ Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

¹⁰ For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble; he has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to those who are bound;

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

²⁴ Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in Yahweh.

⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:

² My God, I have trusted in you, Don't let me be shamed. Don't let my enemies triumph over me.

³ Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

⁴ Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

¹¹ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.

¹¹ Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my countenance, and my God.

³ Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

²⁴ For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

²⁶ In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered.

¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear:

¹¹⁴ You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.

⁴ There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;

⁵ and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

³¹ but those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.

²⁴ Yahweh is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

⁸¹ My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

⁷ Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

³ Yahweh, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

²² Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you.

⁷ Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

⁸ Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, From this time forth, and forevermore.

³ Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

⁴ and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:

⁵ and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

¹⁸ having the eyes of your hearts{TR reads "understanding" instead of "hearts"} enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

⁵ My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my expectation is from him.

¹ Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

² through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

³ Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

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

⁶ which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁵ Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

²⁸ "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

¹³ But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

¹⁵ For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁷ Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;

¹² Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁵ I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

⁷ But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

¹² rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;

²⁰ Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

⁵ By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, Of those who are far away on the sea;

¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power.

¹⁸ Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his loving kindness;

¹⁹ To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

¹⁶ who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

¹³ But now faith, hope, and love remain--these three. The greatest of these is love.

¹⁸ For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

⁷ that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
