Hope

24Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.

5For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; my confidence from my youth.

32The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

3Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

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

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

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

5who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

21who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

1See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

2Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

3Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
