15 but *sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a *defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect;

15 but *sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a *defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect;

3 And everyone who has this hope set on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

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

1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, *we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and *we celebrate in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only this, but *we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,

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

1 Now faith is the certainty of things*hoped for, a *proof of things not seen.

23 Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

23 Let’s hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

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

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart *may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the *saints,

27 to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have *for all the *saints; 5 because of the hope reserved for you in *heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, *the gospel

11 For I know the plans that I *have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for *prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

24 Be strong and let your heart take courage,

All you who wait for the Lord.

24 Be strong and let your heart take courage,

All you who wait for the Lord.

11 Why are you *in despair, my soul?

And why are you restless within me?

Wait for God, for I will again praise *Him

For the *help of His presence, my God.

11 Why are you *in despair, my soul?

And why are you restless within me?

Wait for God, for I will again praise *Him

For the *help of His presence, my God.

114 You are my hiding place and my shield;

I *wait for Your word.

114 You are my hiding place and my shield;

I *wait for Your word.

81 My soul languishes for Your salvation;

I *wait for Your word.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

2 My God, in You I trust,

Do not let me be ashamed;

Do not let my enemies rejoice over me.

3 Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;

*Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs *according to the hope of eternal life.

10 For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers.

16 who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom *no one has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

17 Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

3 constantly keeping in mind your work of faith and labor of love and *perseverance of hope *in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who *are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed the rest of mankind do, who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead, so also God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep *through Jesus.

12 Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,

13 But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the *greatest of these is love.

28 "Come to Me, all *who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

1 The Spirit of the Lord *God is upon me,

Because the Lord anointed me

To bring good news to the humble;

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

To proclaim *release to captives

And *freedom to prisoners;

31 Yet those who *wait for the Lord

Will gain new strength;

They will *mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary.

24 "The Lord is my portion," says my soul,

"Therefore I *wait for Him."

7 But as for me, I will be on the watch for the Lord;

I will wait for the God of my salvation.

My God will hear me.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,

But desire *fulfilled is a tree of life.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,

But desire *fulfilled is a tree of life.

22 Let Your favor, Lord, be upon us,

Just as we have waited for You.

22 Let Your favor, Lord, be upon us,

Just as we have waited for You.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;

He is our help and our shield.

17 A horse is a false hope for victory;

Nor does it rescue anyone by its great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,

On those who wait for His faithfulness,

19 To rescue their soul from death

And to keep them alive in famine.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

And I *wait for His word.

5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,

For my hope is from Him.

5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, God of our salvation,

You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and the farthest *sea;

7 "And now, Lord, for what do I wait?

My hope is in You.

5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me,

For You are the God of my salvation;

For You I wait all the day.

3 In the morning, Lord, *You will hear my voice;

In the morning I will present my*prayer to You and be on the watch.

18 For the needy will not always be forgotten,

Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

7 The Lord will *protect you from all evil;

He will keep your soul.

8 The Lord will *guard your going out and your coming in

From this time and forever.

8 I have set the Lord continually before me;

Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
