Esperança
A esperança cristã não é desejo vago — é certeza inabalável fundamentada nas promessas de Deus. Ela é âncora da alma, firme e segura, que penetra até o interior do véu.
Esperança viva
Bendito seja Deus que nos gerou de novo para uma esperança viva, mediante a ressurreição de Jesus Cristo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has regenerated us to a lively hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and be always prepared for giving an answer, with meekness and reverence, to every one who asks of you a reason for the hope which is in you.

3 And every one who has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure.
Esperança que não decepciona
A esperança não decepciona, pois o amor de Deus é derramado em nossos corações pelo Espírito Santo.
5 And this hope makes not ashamed: because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, that is given us.

1 Wherefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ-2 through whom we have had introduction, also, by faith, into this favor in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God:
3 and not only so, but we rejoice even in afflictions; knowing that affliction produces patience;4 and patience, approbation; and approbation, hope.
24 For even we are saved by hope. Now, hope that is attained, is not hope; for who can hope for that which he enjoys?25 But if we hope for that which we do not enjoy, then, with patience, we wait for it.

12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, steadfastly persevering in prayer.
13 Now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy, and peace, in believing; in order that you may abound in that hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

A fé é a certeza
A fé é a certeza do que se espera. Mantenhamos firme a confissão da esperança, pois fiel é o que prometeu.
1 Now, faith is the confidence of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit; as also you have been called with one hope of your calling;
18 that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance among the saints;
27 to whom God has pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have to all the saints-5 for the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you have formerly heard in the word of truth of the gospel,
Esperança e confiança
Eu sei os planos que tenho para vocês — planos de paz e esperança. Deus é a fonte de toda esperança.
Esperança eterna
Somos salvos na esperança. Aquele que prometeu é fiel. A esperança está guardada nos céus para os que creem.
7 that being justified by his favor, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
10 Besides, for this we both labor, and suffer reproach,- because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of believers.
16 who only has immortality-dwelling in light inaccessible; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and might everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge the rich in the present world not to be elated in mind, nor to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who confers on us richly all things for enjoyment-
3 incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God, even our Father;
13 Now, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them who sleep; that you may not be grieved, even as the others, who have no hope.14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again; so, also, them who sleep, will God, through Jesus, bring with him.
12 Having, therefore, such confidence, we use great plainness of speech;
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three: but the greatest of these is love.
