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.
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,

Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.

And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just 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.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident 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.
Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.

For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.
For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all of God’s people, which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.
Esperança e confiança
Eu sei os planos que tenho para vocês — planos de paz e esperança. Deus é a fonte de toda esperança.
For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

all you who put your hope in the Lord!
So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord!
Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!

your word is my source of hope.
I am worn out waiting for your rescue,
but I have put my hope in your word.
But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,
but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
Esperança eterna
Somos salvos na esperança. Aquele que prometeu é fiel. A esperança está guardada nos céus para os que creem.
Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.
This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.
He alone can never die, and he lives in light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen.
Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.
As we pray to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and the enduring hope you have because of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold.
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
