²³ may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful `is' He who did promise),

¹³ and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

¹ And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,

²⁵ and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect `it'.

¹⁰ for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah `is' on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.

²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what `is' the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

²⁴ Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!

⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God,

² My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

³ Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed.

⁴ Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou me.

¹¹ For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you -- an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.

¹¹ What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

³ and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.

²⁴ for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for `it'?

²⁵ and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect `it'.

²⁶ And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth `us', we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

¹⁵ and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And `be' ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that `is' in you, with meekness and fear;

¹¹⁴ My hiding place and my shield `art' Thou, For Thy word I have hoped.

⁴ one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

⁵ and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

²⁴ My portion `is' Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I hope for Him.

⁸¹ `Kaph.' Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.

⁷ And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it `is' of Thee.

³ Jehovah, `at' morning Thou hearest my voice, `At' morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

²² Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

⁷ Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

⁸ Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!

³ And not only `so', but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

⁴ and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;

⁵ and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

¹⁸ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

³ unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

⁵ Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him `is' my hope.

¹ Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

² through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

³ And not only `so', but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that `is' to all the saints,

⁵ because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news,

⁶ which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁵ Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou `art' the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the day.

²⁸ `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

¹² Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of life `is' the coming desire.

¹³ And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope,

¹⁴ for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,

¹⁵ for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living -- who do remain over to the presence of the Lord -- may not precede those asleep,

¹⁷ Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --

¹² Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,

³ Blessed `is' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,

⁵ I hoped `for' Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

⁷ And I -- in Jehovah I do watch, I do wait for the God of my salvation, Hear me doth my God.

¹² in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

²⁰ Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield `is' He,

⁵ By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

¹⁷ A false thing `is' the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

¹⁸ Lo, the eye of Jehovah `is' to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

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

²⁰ Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield `is' He,

¹⁶ who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom `is' honour and might age-during! Amen.

¹³ and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these `is' love.

¹⁸ For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

⁷ that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during.
