7Now, Lord, what do I wait for?My hope is in you.

12"Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry.Don’t be silent at my tears.For I am a stranger with you,a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

15where then is my hope?As for my hope, who will see it?

5Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God!For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.

6My God, my soul is in despair within me.Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

11Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

6doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

13But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

22let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,

23let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

24Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

15For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba!8:15 Abba is an Aramaic word for "Father" or "Daddy", which can be used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven. Father!"

24For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

25But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

2through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

5and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

4but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.

15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,

20who before were disobedient when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

11We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

12that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherited the promises.

19This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil,

2It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge,nor to be hasty with one’s feet and miss the way.

18Discipline your son, for there is hope;don’t be a willing party to his death.

21There are many plans in a man’s heart,but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.

4But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

16forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus2:19 TR adds "Christ" at his coming?

5For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,5:22 or, faithfulness

2in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

4to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

7For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

2LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you.Be our strength every morning,our salvation also in the time of trouble.

6There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.The fear of the LORD is your treasure.

16he will dwell on high.His place of defence will be the fortress of rocks.His bread will be supplied.His waters will be sure.

1The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

3the voice of one crying in the wilderness,‘Make ready the way of the Lord!Make his paths straight!’"1:3 Isaiah 40:3

15and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News."

8But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

9For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

42Libnah, Ether, Ashan,

50Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim,

52Arab, Dumah, Eshan,

4Cheer up, therefore, O holy-minded mother! Hold the firm hope of your steadfastness with God.

7If it were lawful for us to paint as on a tablet the religion of your story, the spectators wouldn’t shudder at seeing the mother of seven children enduring for the sake of religion various tortures even to death.

5May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and into the perseverance of Christ.

16Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

16The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

25Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
