For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

and endurance, character, and character, hope.

Against hope Abraham believed in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations according to the pronouncement, “so will your descendants be.”

Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

For the creation was subjected to futility – not willingly but because of God who subjected it – in hope

through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory.

And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope.
